<div style="text-align: justify">Elric halted his push up halfway through, and looked at the window at the same time his dog barked at it, searching for what was making that annoying tap at the glass. A corpulent raven with a few silver feathers around its chest, in a pattern that resembles a necklace. <i>didn't know crows got old</i> he thought, admiring its grizzly pattern. The bird paused his taps, turning his head, and looked straight at Elric’s dark brown eyes. His body fell as the enchanter finished two more reps with his eyes still locked into this sudden stare competition.<br/>
<br/>
“Thirty nine, forty” - He stood up, sliding his hands up and through his hair, throwing his messy curls back before petting Popcorn, that was in the hunting position looking at the crow, and crossed his small dorm room towards the window hearing the clacks of his dog claws on the wooden floor behind him as she jumped down from the bed.<br/>
<br/>
The mess made the room smaller than it already was, full of useless bits, bobs and some gadgets. Elric stopped a few feet from the window at the stove, grabbed his coffee pot and poured into his favorite metallic mug.<i>Half full</i>. As soon as the bird noticed the disinterest, it started croaking loudly, poking at the window and staring in a way that would easily be interpreted as “angry”. A good bitter gulp after the Sorian started pinching yesterday’s bread in various small pieces and opened the window.<br/>
<br/>
“Thank you for waiting” - pouring the chunky crumbs at the window stool - “For your troubles” - and proceeded to retrieve the message while scratching the bird’s back while it ate with popcorn jumping behind him, jealous of the bird’s attention.<br/>
<br/>
Come to the Masters' office immediately.<br/>
<br/>
His right eyebrow raised as he read the phrase.<br/>
<br/>
“Maybe I shouldn't have made you wait huh?” - He directed at the corvid that cawed making eye contact again, catching the last crumb in his beach and flew off in a surprising silent take off leaving a small silver feather behind that Elric decided to keep. <br/>
<br/>
Eating the rest of the bread with coffee while dressing up, he was still in his pajamas, putting on his inconspicuous boots of flight, hooking his hammer at his belt. Heading out, grabbed an apple “for the way” holding it with his teeth. He waited patiently as Popcorn looked at him from inside the room with her newest bone in her mouth.<br/>
<br/>
“No… You can't bring that today” - The dog tilted his head, and the ears folded she shot her best puppy eyes at him - “Sorry not today… Come on let's go!” - She slowly opened her mouth and let the bone fall to the ground and made her way out of the room.<br/>
<br/>
Locking his dorm door, threw his jacket with an embroidery of the team crest over the left chest over the shoulder and marched down the hallway with a furry butt swaying following behind him, leaving the scene with a loud crunchy bite echoing behind him.<br/>
