    Summary

    “These notes are illegible,” he huffs, tail falling in a way that hopefully reads as pitiful, “I guess you’ll just have to make it up to me…how about lunch?”
    “…me?”
    “I don’t see anyone else around…” he pauses, wordlessly asking for a name to put to a face.
    “Cyno.”
    “Tighnari,” he offers a name alongside his hand, Cyno hesitantly taking both.

    Making their goodbyes, Tighnari watches the other retreat into the middle distance. Cyno wouldn’t be back this way for another three months. But that was more than fine; Tighnari was a patient man.
    That’s why he waited until 3:45pm- just before the rest of the classes were officially dismissed- to make his way down the empty streets toward Sumeru City. It is why he finally allowed the Mycology professor to borrow his research- to justify his presence on campus. It’s why he jostled the papers in his arms as he moved, purposefully fumbling. All because Tighnari had planned to trip and fall, scattering his papers to the ground before the Matra with pale hair and amber eyes.
    All to put a name to the face of the Matra that sentenced the only family he had to death. And Tighnari was determined to return that favor, no matter how long it took.
