Professor Ilmarë, seeing us calm down, apologized.
I, once again, waved it off. "I was the one to ask for it, wasn't I? You gave me the choice, and I made the decision. The responsibility lies with me. I can't blame you for something I chose to do, no?"
"Anyways, it seems like I lost the bet. I can't make my mana move."
She shook her head. "The bet's not over yet. It was already unreasonable to expect you to use it right away in the first place. Your mana's activated now and as long as you can do it before the week ends, it'll count. Besides, the terms was for you to feel your mana, not move it."
I can't accept that. It was clear why she was doing it. Out of a sense of responsibility over the incident, even though I already told her not to.
Ah. So this is a taste of what Vera felt. The feeling of people treating you as though you're helpless... no wonder she burst.
