Everything felt far too normal. It should have felt like something monumental had changed, yet here he was, in the park with a book. Kaleb found himself glancing up from his reading every second paragraph or so, looking around and musing on how everything was just the same. There had been a huge magical upheaval, and people in town were going about their lives without realizing it, to them it had just been one day out of many, all with this same summer routine.
Kaleb sighed, trying to put his distractions aside and focus on the physiology textbook in his lap. Maybe his attention was messed up because he was tired, physically and emotionally drained by the past few days, maybe he was just too anxious to resume life where he left off so soon. Maybe he needed more time for his mind to process what had happened, this normalcy still felt like a strange dream state... Or maybe the experiences at the Court were the dream, and he hadn't quite woken up all the way yet.
The Semblance of Unity Welp, temporary title I hope~ XD

Temperance had a short break, and while some of the nurses spent it in the cafeteria or even in various offices, she needed to get outside. She'd never been one for straight up camping out in nature, but she had to admit that, lately, the quietly trimmed beauty of a park was refreshing. Perhaps one day she'd feel the same about the woods. Maybe not. But she did, however, spy a familiar face. After a moment's hesitation, she wandered over and sat next to him, smoothing down the front of her scrubs.
"Hey," she said, glancing at his textbook. "Kaleb, right? Do you remember me - from, um, the casting?" The last bit was said kind of quietly, despite the fact that the park wasn't really full.
