Selece let out a huff and looked at Umi, but even Hikaru could hear him complain, /My slumber has been disturbed, yet again./
"I'm sorry!" Umi flailed. "I'm not calling you!"
Selece just huffed again.
"I'm sorry, Selece. Umi did tell you she's trying to learn how to summon magical creatures, right? Gods kind of don't count for the exam." Hikaru stared up into the sharp face. "Is there anyway you can not be summoned?"
/My attempts to ignore the call have been to no avail./
"Hmm…" Hikaru turned to Umi. "Have you tried asking Clef?"
Umi dropped back into the grass with a resigned sigh. "I ask him for too much help as it is. I wanted to do this on my own." She rubbed a hand over her face and looked back up at Selece. "Do you need me to send you back?"
/That is not necessary, little one./ The air around them shimmered and Selece vanished from sight.
Hikaru stared at the space where he'd been and "Huh. Well, that was…"
"Yeah. I know." Umi flopped backward. "I'm going to have to ask Clef aren't I?"
"Probably." Hikaru let out a laugh.
