"Yes." Lexine pulled her lips up further. "I am leaving the academy in a few minutes."
Lexine slowly placed her violin back in its case and shut it. She then raised her head and looked at her housemates. Her lips were now pulled down, and she avoided the gaze of her housemates.
"You can't be serious!" Christana pushed her seat back and shouted. She hesitated, and took a deep breath, "I-I... I want you to stay."
Lexine shook her head, "that… it is not possible for me to stay. I have to thank all of you for keeping me safe this past month. I really owe you big time. So maybe if you can come to my home, I can show you guys around. I can even buy you ice cream! I am sure that you guys will really like it." Her lips pulled up in another smile.
