Who: Aila Kuuluvainan, OPEN
What: Aila is bored, and in need of friends
When: Early evening
Where: Library
Rating: PG-13

Aila felt like such a loser. The holiday break was over and here she was, studying once more. To be perfectly honest, she hadn't actually stopped. It was in her bones, and she wanted to excel in all that she did. However, finding herself in the library yet again on a beautiful day was making her feel a bit... lonely. Sure, she had a few acquaintances. But she was no Sirja... it was quite depressing to realize her sister was better at something than she was.

Taking a deep breath, she shut her Arithmancy book (which she really didn't need to study) and looked about the room. Tired of dallying about in the library, she stood and slung her pack onto her back. As it was not shut, and she was paying little attention, a book flew out and smacked into someone. Damn!

Who: Aila and Sirja
What: Shopping together
When: Saturday morning
Where: Entrance hall, then Durmstadt
Rating: None

Aila couldn't believe she was actually excited to go shopping. As much as she loved Christmas, this year was beginning to look a bit bleak for her. She was curious as to why her parents hadn't written, and was overwhelmed with her need to make excellent marks on her exams. Therefore, when Sirja had asked that they do a bit of shopping together, she jumped at the chance to get some fresh air.

Dressed in all black, to match her mood, she waited for her estranged sister in the entrance hall, where they had agreed to meet.

Who: Erika and Aila Kuuluvainen

When: Sunday evening, November 23rd, dinner time.
Rating: PG

( All was quiet in her little section of the table, except when she turned the page, of course. It was not the whisper of a page being turned that broke the silence, but the soft tinkling of bells. )
