Twilight and Lyra both got up from their seats, moving to his side of the table. Lyra sat on his right, while Twilight left an open spot between Dale and herself as a personal buffer. She was having trouble focusing on the blackboard, and he could see her head nodding down as she tried to concentrate, while Lyra was as bright-eyed as ever. She gripped a book with her magic and pulled it across the table, placing it right in front of Dale. A second volume was moved in front of the empty seat.
