There's a total lunar eclipse two weeks later, the first one since January 2001. That semiquarter and most of the next pass without much more noise. Jackson is occasionally sad because of his dom's electric toy, and he's occasionally more stripey than he wishes to be, but there's not a whole lot Sadde can do about that. Against his hopes, Mason doesn't dump Jackson, and nothing gives.
Sadde continues socializing with people, but no one new. And as the semiquarter approaches its end and summer break gets closer, Sadde receives an email from Tobias, saying that he fully expects his daughter to come home and tell everyone all about her first half year at magic school.
The email tells Sadde to behave.
Sadde is not in a good place.

She inspects the texture, clips it on to see how much slack it gives her, takes it off - "Can we try these?" she asks the nearest shop person.
"Sure, just don't walk out with it," says the shop person.
She clips it back on. "Let's make sure you don't trip me," she says, and she tugs him down the aisle.

(Eeeeeeeeeee
EEEEEEEEEEEEEEE)
He follows after her, grinning and never really letting the leash go taut.
(There is so much eeeeee going on in Sadde's head right now, he's sure they can hear it even if he's not actually emitting any eee sounds.)

"Awww, lookit you, lovely," she beams. "Doesn't your face hurt grinning like that?"
