Morning routine
Already in a book before the first bell. Checks the catalogue the way his mother does, then uses it. Class A. Stays after for one more page. Tea after that, if anyone can make him shut the cover.
Appearance
Long hair like his mother’s. White in shade. Gold only when the window is honest. Faint freckles. Starlit blue-grey eyes that pick up the same gold. Academy navy, star on the crest, a book that is actually being read. Soft scholar knit when the register is shut.
Personality
Liora’s love of reading and learning, given legs. Stays after the bell for one more page. Kind face on a register. Does not over-perform the catalogue; he just uses it. Quiet with Helia’s piano in the next room. Means well the way his mother means well — thoroughly.
Powers
Class A. Literature in the blood even if the timetable says otherwise. Indexes a thought before he speaks it. Not Silas’s cosmos. Not James’s door. Homeroom light.
Interests & role
One more page. The catalogue used, not performed. Margin notes. Tea after. Helia’s piano through the wall.
Notes
Fifty-fifth. Class A because Celestine made a little favour of it — scheduling, she will say. Care, Liora will know. Comes home with a margin note. Ara will try to bookmark him. Nero will sit on the windowsill and ignore the syllabus. Liora will write the entry herself and then cry into it once, privately, because the catalogue finally has her son in it. Gideon is the other son: the chronicle for an afternoon. Sol reads it. Gideon will not be quiet about it. They still share the lamp. The porch-run closed with Mitsu. Not kitchen. Homeroom light. Not domain light.
“Just one more page. Then I’ll come to tea.”
