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.

It sizzles. In butter.
Sadde gets the first four bites to himself.

Lots of appreciative noises! This food is great. He may rub his face against her legs a bit every now and then.

He is completely encouraged to do that.
And eventually the steak for two is gone and Isabella makes good on her threat to order him four desserts ("and a box with sections").
Have some caramel apple tart, Sadde.

And when they're stuffed she packs up the remains of the desserts and pays the bill and smooches him and gives him the leftovers to hold so she can have one hand in his and one for her cane.

And he smooches her back and holds the leftovers with one hand and her hand with the other and he follows her.

"Yeah. Not—wholly well, but, almost? Or, well, I'm feeling well, but that's not all that I'm feeling."

Nod.
She pets him - she does not actually remove her hand from him at any point during the trip back to her room except when she needs to grab the handrail for exiting the bus - and then there they are in their dorm and she takes the desserts and puts them in her minifridge and hops up on her bed and pats her lap.

And Sadde takes his accustomed position there.
