It was early. Very early. In fact, if anyone ventured outside the winding tunnels of the sorcerers' lair, they would find that the sky was dark enough to be mistaken for midnight. It was a wonder to most how anyone could get up that early and still be enthusiastic about it. Nyra looked at it as a way to add more time to her day. She walked at a fast pace, heading for Jaclyn's room. Her eyes were dancing with excitement...no trace of exhaustion could be found in them as she finally found the Charter Mage's door. Grinning, she knocked, then stepped back to wait, humming to herself.

This time Jaclyn did roll completely out of her bed, hitting the floor with a loud thud. She scrambled around in a tangle of sheets, and dragged herself to the door. Swinging it open, she glared out at Nyra through bleary eyes.

Nyra didn't seem to notice or care that some people didn't get up as early as she. Instead, she smiled up at Jaclyn, her eyes still betraying her excitement. "Good morning!" she chirped in a sing-song voice.

"Morning," Jaclyn repeated in a flat tone, giving her an incredulous look. "Are you serious?"

"Of course!" Nyra replied, looking a bit confused. She tilted her head to the side. "What? Is it too early for good news?"

"It's too early for any news," Jaclyn grumbled, shaking her head in an attempt to wake up. "What is this news, anyway?"

Nyra shrugged, then brightened again at Jaclyn's last question. "First of all, what would you say if I told you there's a way for you to see your brother? Jamison, right?"

Jaclyn gave her a curious frown, becoming more interested now, but still wary. "I would be... curious."

"There's talk of a magic egg somewhere by Traveler's Meet, and I was assigned to go and see if those rumors were true. I can bring along a small team of my choice." Nyra grinned. "If you want, we could ask Varen to go. I'm sure he wouldn't mind if we made a stop by the store, right?" Obviously, Varen hadn't failed to fill Nyra in on the details as to where Jaclyn had come from.

Jaclyn raised an eyebrow, but then shrugged and nodded. "Sure. Lemme get dressed." She closed the door again, and fumbled around for something to wear, and her few belongings. "Okay, ready," she mumbled, stepping back out into the hall.

Nyra nodded and led the way down the passageways. After a few minutes of walking, she paused outside Varen's door and knocked on it three times, then waited. Varen opened the door, completely dressed. He yawned in greeting, not quite as awake as Nyra just yet. "Oh good, you got up early!" Nyra said, smiling. "We're leaving to go find out information about an egg near Traveler's Meet." She lowered her tone. "And we're stopping by to see Jaclyn's brother on the way." Varen tilted his head to the side. "Oh, are we? I'm just assuming that I'm invited to come along, then, right?" Nyra nodded. "Come on, then, if you're ready!" Without another word, she marched down the hallway again, hardly glancing back to see if Varen and Jaclyn were coming.

Jaclyn shot Varen an indignant glanced, and rolled her eyes, following after Nyra.

Varen fought back a small laugh, dashed back inside his room to grab his bag, came back out, closed the door, and hurried back out after Nyra and Jaclyn.
Nyra didn't slow until they made it outside. She stretched out her arms, then looked at Varen. "Okay, so who's using their energy to create a portal? You or me?" Varen sighed. "You're full of energy, aren't you? Go ahead." Nyra shrugged and formed the vortex, holding it there for Jaclyn and Varen.

Jaclyn paused before the swirling tunnel, a thoughtful look on her face. "I wonder if I could do this with Charter Magic... You'll have to explain it to me." She shrugged, and passed through.
