"Mo," Yuuka answered Anei. "I appreciate the offer, but my 'sweetheart' is very flexible when it comes to my schedule, and I with his!" She chuckled lightly. "Really, it is I who usually waits - being a business man somewhat overshadows the simple life of a teacher~"
"What about you?" Yuuka set her book down and clasped her hands, weaving her fingers together as she looked the woman up and down. Anei was no doubt very pretty, so the question begged to be asked. "Surely a stunning woman like yourself has a beau of her own? Why, I'd even risk to say you possess a physique that rivals Kazuko, teacher of the Kendo team!"
---
"It's... cold." Samantha replied, tugging at the edges of her hood. "... But then, I'm always chilly. Other than that... it's the same that it has always been." She understood what Heidi was going through. She felt shut in, closed off from and at odds with the rest of the world... Samantha knew well the feeling of imprisonment, although she had always been the victim of self condemnation. But, that was a story for another time.
"Well... if you're not hungry, we could do other stuff." She noticed Heidi's small interest in the tennis ball, and quickly swiped it from her. "Liiiike we could play a little game!" She forced a smile and squeezed the ball once.
Squeak!

"I have had my share of romance, yes," Anei laughed, "At the moment, however, I am living as a single woman. " She put her hands on her hips smiling, "Not all of us fare as well in love."
"Ehm, I should be on my way, I need to get settled into my room," The teacher smiled," Ah, do you have my phone number? we may need to stay in touch as far as that goes."
---
The ball taken from her she gave a blink and looked at it as it squeaked. The split second stare was enough to make her shake her head and clear her throat," Play a game? What do you have in mind? I am not a dog....." She cleared her throat yet again.

"Yes, of course," Yuuka stood from her seat and pressed her skirt flat, preparing herself to courteously show her guest out. "Please, forgive me for taking up so much of your time!" She said with a genuine smile.
"...Oh, I do not believe I do--" Yuuka reached to another drawer in her desk and withdrew a small pad and pen. "Please, write your number down if you will; I'd like a physical copy, in case something ever happens to my phone. You can never be too careful~" She mused, scribbling something on the pad of paper, then tore the note off and offering it first to Anei, then the pen and pad itself. "That is my number, should you ever need to get in touch with me~"
---
"Oh... right, sorry." Samantha could feel herself begin to blush, so she quickly turned her head to hide it. "You just looked kinda interested in it, so I thought..." Even then, she still held the ball in her hand. Squeak.
"... We could make out!" She exclaimed, turning back towards Heidi with a rather goofy smile, which vanished and returned to her regular, tired-eyed stare after a few seconds. "... Just kidding. You look really wound up so I thought I'd try to snap you out of it..."
Squeak.

"Don't worry! procrastinating on mundane organization is not something to apologize for! " Anei laughed, tucking the number into the pocket of her vest before scribbling her number onto the note pad,"You have a point, I keep a paper archive of my important information too."
'Ms. Kaninus?" A blonde student peeked inside. Under her left eye there seem tk be a scar but that was hard to see becayse of her bangs,"Oh, hello Ms. kazami,....ehm.... I wondered if you still needed help."
'Ah! Karine, of course, come on, let's go and get this over with," Anei nodded waing to the door," I will see you around , Kazami!"
__
'WHAT." Heidi just stared at Samantha. Must be the mixture of squeaks, but she really was surprised by the comment,"You are being silly..." She cleared her throat.She hoped she didn't stare too much... "Anyway, can I see the ball...stop squeaking iiiit."

"Yes, as much as our technology has advanced, nothing beats analogue-- hm?" Taking the note from her fellow teacher, she peeked over her shoulder at the young, blonde girl who just entered. Yuuka had remembered seeing the girl a few times before. She hung around that Farona girl quite a bit. If what Seijin mentioned earlier was true, then this girl may be involved as well.
"Oh, yes of course. Goodbye Anei. I will talk to you soon!" She waved and smiled after the teacher and student, and couldn't help but wonder what had them off in such a hurry. But they were gone, and once again, Yuuka was left to her own devices, and her mind began to wander.
"I wonder how Seijin is doing? I should give her a call. Though that may come off as rude... perhaps a visit is in order. Yes, that would lift her spirits~"
---
"Sorry. I was just trying to joke..." Samantha rubbed her head awkwardly. "... Huh? The ball?" She looked at it, still in her hand. Squeak. Wow, that was actually kinda fun. "But I thought you didn't like it?" Hiding a grin, she held out the ball for Heidi to take, giving it one final squeeaaaky. "This is kind of addictive."

There was a knock on the door, and Mousetsu stepped into the room. "Hey," He smiled. A new pair of glasses, courtesy of Yuuka were on his nose, and he walked over tapping his wrist watch," I figured it was about time for me to pick you up. Saw Ms. Kaninus while I walked here, guess she is working with you now?"
____
Heidi seemed to twitch a bit with the last squeak,her face turning a shade of pink. "Is it now?" She took the ball and squeezed it. She blinked and did it one more time.... and before she got carried away she handed it back,"YES. SO....I SEE:... *ehm*..Its fun."

"Oh! Hello, Mo~" his sudden appearance had surprised Yuuka, who had been somewhat lost in her thoughts these short few moments. "My, has it gotten so late already?" She sighed, putting away the last few things she had been sorting and reading. "Time does fly. Mh, yes, Kaninus will fill Seijin's role while she's at the hospital... Hm, I do not recall Seijin mentioning Anei in any of her notes. I wonder if she is privy to the spell cards? I will need to ask her..."
She turned off the lights and took her coat from the chair, slinging it over her shoulders. "Nora, darling, would you mind if we made a short stop at the hospital before we went home? I'd like to see Seijin before visiting hours are over. Perhaps it would lift her spirits as well!"
---
"Aha! I knew you would like it." Samantha said with a small, genuine grin. She squeaked the ball a few more times. "I can see it in your face!" Chuckling, Samantha turned and left the kitchen, all the while waving the ball around behind her, as if beckoning Heidi to follow. "Anyway, I guess we should just watch TV or something. I'm tired from running errands, and I sorta need to catch up on homework... summer stuff, you know." As she entered the living room, she casually tossed the tennis ball so that it landed squarely on the sofa. She then plopped down on the cushion next to it.

"Yeah, it's pretty late, past lunch time, anyways ," He nodded, patiently waiting for Yuuka, still smiling. "Oh, of course! I figured you would want to do that. I found the hospital. I can take you there right away." Mo moved to the side, happily guiding Yuuka to the motorcycle where he handed over a helmet to her,"Hang on."
__
Heidi pounced on the couch getting the ball and gnawing on it..... Noticing she was sprawled on her side gnawing a tennis ball made her stop for a second.

"Thank you, Mo. It would mean a lot to me, and Seijin too." She took the helmet and strapped it on; it was a lovely red color with a large sunflower on one side. She wrapped her arms around her companion and hugged her tightly, bracing herself for the acceleration of the bike.
"I don't know if Seijin has told anyone in her family about her condition... she may be in there all alone, so we should go make sure she's okay. And I'm sure she'd like an update of the school and the students, and their cards..."
---
Samantha jumped, shocked, to the arm of the couch as Heidi pounced onto the cushion beside her. She hadn't expected such a strong reaction from that little toss... Slowly, Samantha uncurled and sat a bit more normally, although couldn't help but stare at Heidi a bit.
"Uh... you okay, Heidi? You didn't... uh, have to do that, I was just joking..."

"well , we definitely should visit her," He said, putting on his black helmet."It won't be a problem, to drop by!" He began to rev the engine and drove out of the school parking lot, carefully. "I am sure she will appreciate it either or , " He chuckled and drove onto the main street.
___
"Yeah. I know." At this point she stopped caring about what she felt like doing and what she wanted to do. So she contented herself gnawing the tennis ball bitter sweetly with her suddenly-more-than- developed teeth.

After a short drive deeper into the city, they had arrived at the hospital Seijin had been admitted to. Yuuka checked in with the reception desk to learn of Seijin's room number. Luckily, visiting hours were not over just yet!
"The fifth floor... at least she has a view!" Yuuka mused as they stepped into the elevator, and ascended the four stories. Ugh, what terrible muzak. Thankfully the trip upwards was short, and after a short trek through the fifth floor, they had arrived. Seijin's door was open, so to be polite, Yuuka knocked on the door as she entered.
"Seijin? It's Yuuka, and Mo. We've come to check up on you... May we come in?
---
"Oh... okay then." Samantha was perplexed, and a little amused, by Heidi's resignation to her more primal desires. "It's alright, if that's what you want to do." She learned back and sank a little bit into the couch, and fished around the cushions and pillows for the television remote. "... I heard that Seijin is in the hospital. I don't like hospitals... at all. But I hope she gets better soon... We're supposed to have a new teacher come in to take her place meanwhile, but... Seijin knows, you know? About the cards..."

Seijin had been resting, arms crossed, eyes closed., breathing evenly. The blanket was over her bandaged leg. As the two came in, she opened her eyes and looked over," Ah! Company!"
"Good afternoon, " Mousetsu smiled as the teacher as up, sliding back to lean on the wall,"How does your leg?"
'the Surgery was a success, they expect I will be at home for a month or so," She smiled and winked," But I plan to surprise them with an unlikely recovery."
"How are you two? And the children? "
__
Heidi gnawed on the tennis ball, slowly sitting up .... she was still biting on it."Anei is the new substitute, is she not?...I mean, Ms. Kaninus,...." She seemed to look through the floor as her teeth pierced the ball. "I suppose she ... she will also know of the cards, like Seijin, It seems the teachers all pull strings on their puppets. kazuko with her blonde and rich girls, you.... Yuuka with her man and the baseball players... Anei..... " She shook her head, biting the ball more.

Yuuka smiled, happy to see that twinkle in Seijin's eye. "It will be nice to have you back, Seijin." She moved over to a chair positioned nearest to the woman's bed and sat there. "The children are doing well. Maria has been calm, from what I gather from Lucy. I believe she's shut herself away in her room to help curb her... urges. Samantha is watching Heidi, as you know. I don't believe anything has developed with her, although Heidi has become increasingly difficult to talk to. Other than that, I believe things are fine..."
---
"... Huh? Oh, yeah... the new teacher. She's filling in for Seijin while she's at the hospital. That name is familiar... I must have seen her in passing before and-- ... eh?" Samantha tore her eyes from the television as Heidi sat up. "Puppets? Is that really what you think we are? Seijin and the others are trying to help us! Wait..." Now she was really interested. She turned towards Heidi fully, leaning with both hands on the cushion. "This Kaninus person knows about the cards too? And you were about to say more students' names, weren't you? Who are they?" She frowned, then leaned back, "I bet you're one of them, right? Are you her 'puppet'?"

"Ah, she is still having issues with those impulses, uh?" Seijin sighed," They are a bit difficult. I wish I could help her...." She shook her head, both at the thought of that and of what Yuuka said of Heidi. "It is painful to see how quickly she changed in such a short amount of time,... Samantha has managed to keep her somewhat sane and friendly , I suppose." She tried to smile again," Now. Who is taking my place?"
"The new teacher substituting you is the European History Teacher," Mousetsu said," Ms. kaninus, if I recall?"
'Anei? Ugh..." Seijin groaned, shaking her head.
__
"No, I am Tabitha's puppet," She shook her head, trying desperately to cover her error," My card persona, whoever they may have been, was a slave to Tabitha's.... That is all there is to it. "

"You will be able to help her more once you're out of this hospital." Yuuka said, trying to reassure her. "And Heidi as well. But you need not worry yourself much, and need to focus on your recovery... as short as it may be." She smiled, and reclined in the chair.
"Mh... Yes, that's right." She tilted her head a bit, "Is there something wrong with miss Kaninus? I'll admit I haven't gotten to know her very well, and I've only seen her a few times around campus before... She seems perfectly nice, though."
---
"I think you take that stuff too seriously."
Samantha flopped backwards against the armrest, and turned to watch the television again. "You were about to say something about Kaninus though, weren't you? So what was it then? Go on, spit it out..."
