[ After being cleared by the healers with some bemused looks the pair headed home to Gem’s tower. ]

[ Every time Pearl tried to detach Gem she just held on tighter with a mischievous grin much to her exasperation. ]

[ Viktor stopped the pair while they were walking and knowingly handed her a headache potion which she gratefully downed. ]

[ Finally they made it up to her room where Pearl dumped her on the bed ungracefully before flopping down on top of her. ]

“Go to sleep you nugget, you clearly need it. I’ll still be here when you wake up.”

[ Gem hummed and burrowed beneath the blanket with a happy sigh. ]

Love you Pearl, goodnight.

[ She instantly started to drift off, but not before she heard Pearl’s quiet laughter. ]

“It’s midday you silly wombat. But I love you too.”

[ With a soft kiss to the forehead soft snores soon filled the air. ]

@resident-farmer-queen

[ Gem groaned as she slowly came awake, though the moment she opened her eyes she hissed in displeasure at the blinding light. ]

[ With a pounding headache she made the executive decision to go back to sleep, rolling over and pulling the blanket over her head before burrowing into her strangely warm bed. ]

[ But when it started to move she jumped, falling onto the floor and hitting her head with a loud thud. ]

Wha’ the hels? [ She exclaimed, words still slurred and vision still blurry from not being fully awake. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

Hey, you’re the one that said I should start expressing myself! I’m expressing my need for hugs!

[ Her eyes held specks of doubt but when Pearl just rolled her eyes and sighed fondly her grin widened. ]

Oh no, what a shame, we’re stuck on this couch. Guess we should just give up and- hey!

[ Barely exerting effort, Pearl scooped her up, ignoring her yelp. She half heartedly struggled but soon gave up, adjusting herself so she was more comfortable in her sisters arms. ]

You know, this really isn’t the best way to get me to stay awake. [ She pointed out, and while it was mostly said as a joke the warmth and safety was certainly doing a good job of pulling her away from consciousness. ]

[ But as soon as her eyes closed Pearl’s wing came up and hit her face, making her splutter and glare up at her accusingly. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

…do you really mean it?

[ She hated how weak she sounded but she was just so tired. And Pearl was always so genuine, and she sounded so earnest, Gem couldn’t help but believe her. ]

[ Before she could talk herself out of it she scooted over and curled into Pearl’s side, visibly relaxing when her arm pulled her in close. ]

I… I’ll try.

[ Her eyes started to drift closed but Pearl shook her gently and booped her on the nose, laughing at the way she scrunched it up. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. Look, I’ll just sort out my office and then I’ll go up to my tower and do something non strenuous, I promise.

[ She moved to get up, not meeting Pearl’s eyes, but a gentle hand pushed her back down. She fought down the urge to lean into the touch, to seek out more of the comforting contact, something that didn’t go unnoticed. ]

I’m the Grand Wizard Pearl, this is my job. I have to be a source of knowledge and wisdom, not only to my students and residents but to you and the others as well.

If I don’t have the answers, than what good am I?

[grand-wizard-gem]

[ Gem nodded and waited until Pearl’s footsteps faded away to open her eyes, forcing them to adjust to the too-bright room, and take in the damage. ]

[ Her office was a trash heap, to put it lightly. Furniture was overturned, books and papers upon the floor. As much as she wanted to ignore Pearl’s advice and slip back into sleep she knew she had work to do. ]

[ Standing, she walked over to where her staff was leaning against a wall and picked it up, chanting under her breath to right everything and ignoring the way even the smallest spells made her headache worse. ]

[ So focused on her task, she didn’t hear Pearl return until her exasperated voice rang out, and the twinge of disappointment made her wince internally. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

Shu’up. [ She slurred grumpily, taking the hand to pull herself to her feet before falling over again as soon as she let go, room spinning dangerously. ]

[ Every part of her ached and she felt like someone had thrown her in a washing machine. The world was too bright and her headache was too strong for her to think, but as much as she wanted to just go back to sleep she had to present a strong front. ]

Wha’re you doin’ here?

[ She winced as that plan got thrown out the window by her mouth refusing to cooperate. She shook her head (and ouch that hurt) and forced each word out slowly and carefully with the same precision she had when trying to gain a Cliffs accent. ]

Sorry, I don’t know why I’m so tired. What happened?

[ Internally she grinned at her success, not noticing Pearl’s small frown. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

Noooo… was gonna do something diff’rent. [ Gem said unconvincingly. She gave Pearl a look when she started to laugh. ]

Shhh, stop bein’ mean to me! Not ‘lowed, my school my rules.

[ She quickly got over her upset though and started listing of students she was proud of. Which is to say, all of them. ]

There’s Aries an’ Loon an’ Jade an’ Flint-

[ Slowly her eyes started to close and she drifted off, mumbling student’s names until she was well and truly asleep. ]

@grand-wizard-gem

[ Pearl's peaceful slumber was interrupted by a loud knock on the door. The clock across the room read an hour after they fell asleep, and Pearl scowled. She gently peeled Gem off of her to go answer the door. Seemingly as annoyed, sleeping Gem made a few noises of disapproval before burrowing back into the blanket. ]

[ Quickly shifting her fact to a neutral expression, Pearl answered the door, making sure to block as much of the room from view as possible. On the other side stood a young student, who gave her a mildly concerned smile. ]

Oh! Good afternoon, Farmer Queen - I was expecting Headmaster Gem. Can I see her, please? Just wanted to ask what happened in the hallway out here. Looks like a hurricane swept through it.

[ Said "hurricane" let out a barely audible whine, something about "love" and "magic", and Pearl mentally facepalmed. Her half-awake brain told her someone seeing Gem like this would ruin her reputation. She agreed. ]

Gem is... resting! Yes, taking a nap! You know how she is, always overworking herself. The hallway was my bad. We had a, uh... fight! I won so she had to sleep. I apologise, I will clean up later.

[ Any sane person would look at Viktor and tell Pearl he bought none of that. But they still nodded, deciding not to mess with whatever the queen and their Headmaster were up to out of self-preservation. ]

Ok, if you say so. Would you like-

[ Whatever he was about to offer was rudely interrupted by a loud thud from inside. Pearl nervously coughed. ]

What was that?

[ They rose to the tip of their toes, craning forward to get a better view. Pearl immediately moved in the way, a strained smile appearing on her face. ]

It must have been the wind. You should go back now, shouldn't you? Don't you have of studying to do?

I...

[ Another mighty crash interrupted them, followed by footsteps and babbling. Pearl visibly paled. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

Don’ wanna. [ Gem said petulantly, wiggling to try and escape. ] Gotta go tell all m’ students I’m proud of ‘em, what if they don’t know?

[ She looked up at Pearl with pleading eyes, but when that didn’t work she glared instead. ]

If you don’ let me go ‘m gonna do magic on you.

[ Unfortunately, her glare was about as powerful as a kittens and made less and less effective by the fact the blanket left only her head visible. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

Pearl! That wazz rude, go ‘poligise!

[ Another knock sounded out and before Pearl could stop her Gem was throwing the blanket over her head and scrambling off the couch to open it. ]

Viktor! What’re you doin’ here?

“Hello Headmaster, I was wondering what happened outside but that’s pretty clear now. Lost concentration during casting?”

[ Amusement was clear on his face and Gem let out a cheer at his answer. ]

You got it right, well done! 'M proud of you, y'know that? You and your brothers are doin' so well and tryin' so hard and I wan' you ta know that 'm so proud.

[ Viktor would forever deny that he teared up slightly at her words, slurred as they were. ]

“Aww, thank you headmaster. Now go back to sleep, it'll wear off once you’ve gotten some proper rest.”

[ The last part was said to Pearl as well, who had escaped the blanket and was trying to tug Gem away from her vice grip on the door. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

[ Gem was abruptly woken up from her warm and cozy nap when she fell off the couch and onto the hard floor, which was rather rude of it in her opinion. ]

[ Just as she was about to tell it off she heard voices coming from the doorway and looked over to see Pearl talking with someone. ]

[ She stumbled up to her feet and made it all of five steps before she hit the corner of her desk, sending any books that had somehow stayed on it falling to the ground with a loud crash. ]

[ She stood blinking at it for a few seconds before moving on, walking over to Pearl and wrapping her in a hug from behind while trying to peak out and see who she was talking to. ]

Pearl? Who izzit?

[grand-wizard-gem]

'M not sleepy. [ She mumbled sleepily, burrowing closer into Pearl. ] Don' need nap.

[ Pearl just laughed lightly before taking a breath and starting to quietly sing a lullaby. ]

"Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree, merry merry king of the bush is he."

[ Gem's asleep before they even reach the office, snoring softly in Pearl's arms. ]

@resident-farmer-queen

[ Gem laughed as she stumbled out of her office, bumping into walls and every piece of furniture or decoration in the hallway. ]

“Gem? Gem, where did you go?”

[ Pearl called out and Gem giggled, ducking behind a tapestry as her footsteps got closer. ]

[ She was entirely uncaring of the fact it did not hide her at all. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

[ She let out a noncommittal hum before melting into the embrace, a large grin spreading across her face as she latched onto Pearl once again. ]

I loves you lots Pearl, y'know that? You're the bestest big sister ever and ever and-

[ A small yawn cut her off and her eyes drifted closed for a few seconds before she forced them open again. ]

Wha' wazz I sayin'?

[ Her words slurred more as she leaned into Pearl again, letting out another tiny yawn. ]

@resident-farmer-queen

[ Gem laughed as she stumbled out of her office, bumping into walls and every piece of furniture or decoration in the hallway. ]

“Gem? Gem, where did you go?”

[ Pearl called out and Gem giggled, ducking behind a tapestry as her footsteps got closer. ]

[ She was entirely uncaring of the fact it did not hide her at all. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

'S ok, I wasn't listn' to you, was my fault.

[ She scuffed at the ground with her boot, not looking up. ]

@resident-farmer-queen

[ Gem laughed as she stumbled out of her office, bumping into walls and every piece of furniture or decoration in the hallway. ]

“Gem? Gem, where did you go?”

[ Pearl called out and Gem giggled, ducking behind a tapestry as her footsteps got closer. ]

[ She was entirely uncaring of the fact it did not hide her at all. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

[ Gem wilted at her words, letting go and shrinking in on herself slightly. ]

'M sorry, didn' mean to make you mad.

[ She pulled away, eyes downcast. ]

I'll go back now.

@resident-farmer-queen

[ Gem laughed as she stumbled out of her office, bumping into walls and every piece of furniture or decoration in the hallway. ]

“Gem? Gem, where did you go?”

[ Pearl called out and Gem giggled, ducking behind a tapestry as her footsteps got closer. ]

[ She was entirely uncaring of the fact it did not hide her at all. ]

[grand-wizard-gem]

I'm bi!

[ Gem called back before slapping a hand over her mouth to stifle her laughs. A few moments later the tapestry was (gently) pulled aside by Pearl. ]

[ She tried to run off again but instantly tripped, only being saved from a face full of floor by Pearl's quick reflexes. She decided to latch on with another hug, interest in the chase gone. ]
