Tala had heard the phrase “stir crazy” only ever in passing, and had only a vague idea of what it meant, but she was pretty sure that was exactly what must be happening to her. She had never been inside for more than 24 hours in a row in her whole life. It was agony. If the outside world weren’t sure to freeze her to death in minutes even despite her heavy reindeer pelt clothing, she would’ve ventured out after just one day of LongNight spent inside the academy. Instead, she was trapped.
The saving element had been the library. Sure, she wasn’t well acquainted with magic and had some trouble figuring out what half of these books meant, but at least she was able to do some studying of her new world, even if she was never going to use magic herself.
She’d spent the morning being a helping hand to the people preparing and serving food, and once the rush had died down and the clean up was done, she was able to slip away to the library. It hadn’t been particularly busy, so she was comfortable perusing to her heart’s content. Today, though, it felt like she had option paralysis from staring at all the books on the shelves. This was easier in her home world, where at least she knew what she didn’t know. Here, she was clueless. There was so much to learn, and she had no idea where to start.
