I tapped my pen against my notebook erratically, wishing I could stick the end into my mouth like I used to do as a kid. It was a nervous habit of mine, one that my parents fought hard with me in order to stop. I was a stubborn child though, so it took months for them to break me out of that habit.
My morning lessons were difficult to get through anyway. The mornings were lately spent with me bent over books, with one of the Shimmer Stone elders standing over me and guiding me through different concepts.
Thankfully, this morning, I was being schooled by one of my favorite elders, Leo. He was a kind old man, who seemed to genuinely think I was smart and enjoyed telling me stories about his time as a Shimmer Stone general.
