A night or two. Jae held back his disappointment as it was a more than generous offer. Better than hiding at the Forest Respite. He nodded at the mention of a private room, as it was worth the shot. "I would like that." He said, "I. . . should talk to my counselor about other options in using my magic."
Jae liked his counselor, but only talked of his family and the relationship he had with his aunt. He had shied away from talking about his powers and the affect they had on him because of shame. Stupid. Jae buried his face into his hands. Packing up and leaving the dorms had seemed like his only option, but hindsight shined a spotlight on that. What happened was that he wasn't thinking, too caught up in burn of magic and its voice at the back of his head.
"I've been stubborn." Jae said into his palms. Another painful realization.
