After their first visit, Hexia and Mel settled down at Tri-Phase Moon Academy temporarily, both to explore the academy and to consider future matters.
Many things are difficult to predict before they are done, and this visit had taught Hexia quite a bit, giving her a sense of preparedness and confidence for the subsequent academy visits.
In the evening, after settling in, Hexia and Mel met up with Ed to have dinner together at a riverside restaurant.
The restaurant was not large, with only two floors; a few students were seated at tables, some of them even placing books and tools on the table, studying, and tinkering while waiting for their dinner to be prepared.
The lighting in the hall was modeled after medieval copper candle lamps, not very bright; the flickering light only illuminated the food and books on the table, leaving the rest of the room somewhat dim.
A gentle evening breeze blew as the three of them talked about the day's events, listening to the flowing river.
