The sunlight streamed over the narrow dorm bed, warming the sheets and lying comfortably over Talon’s skin. He wriggled slightly, repositioning his head in Lux’s lap. His long hair fell over her thighs and the sheets alike, undone for once so that she could comb her fingers through in smooth, long motions that were oddly soothing to him. They made his bones feel liquid and loosely floating in his body, as if he’d achieved some higher form of relaxation known previously only to cats. The book resting against the side of his face didn’t disturb him; he closed his eyes and listened to her voice as she read out passages, pausing to underline certain words every so often. It would be his turn to read soon enough but for now, he could just lie back and let her words wash over him, sinking into his consciousness without any real effort on his part. Memorizing facts was the easiest part of their homework. Lux’s fingers skimmed over his forehead and down into his hair again, brushing the long locks back. Idly, he thought of perhaps choosing a new hairstyle, something like Aish-- ah. He’d had a question he wanted to ask Lux because of Aisha. Waiting until she paused to highlight something, he tilted his head back a little to make eye contact and asked lazily, “What’s a skin mission?”
