"So what brings you to these necks of the wood?" Markus asked as he cleared up all the exercise books from his desk.

"We just had a class here today..." Shuri answered with a low mumble, to which Markus responded with a cheeky laugh.

"Anyways-" Markus continued. "I've been expecting you."

"You have?" Shuri blurted out.

"Well, not me personally. But Marie dropped by earlier this morning and told me to prepare for your arrival," Markus revealed with a wry smile. Shuri could empathise with the emotion Markus was experiencing. Through working under Marie, Shuri had learned just how frustrating it was to deal with a seer. Because they lived five or ten steps ahead, they took the present for granted. This was grating for normal people like herself and Markus who were in the process of living their present.
