Cassandra checked on her new room, and was happy to find that all of her things had in fact been moved already.  What was more, the room was basically identical to the one she'd stayed in the first two days, and everything seemed to be in exactly the same place as she had left it.  Come to think of it, that was a little creepy.  She didn't own that many things, but still.  

Her phone startled her with a buzz, and she flipped it open to read the text, and send a reply.  

[hider=Text to Lilie]
[color=f26522]> sonds gud lemme know when and where
[/color]
She hesitated a moment, then sent another.

[color=f26522]> u busy 2nite?
> this morning
> w/e[/color]
[/hider]

She went back out into the living room and picked up her cup of tea.

[color=f26522]"Hey,"[/color] she said to Amaris, [color=f26522]"I'm going to sit on the porch, I'll probably be out until after sunrise.  I might go out for a little bit, but call me if you need me."[/color]

Cassandra, who had never been able to go out on her own without using a window, felt a little strange just announcing her departure so boldly.  But she was determined to hold Amaris to her word, and act like an equal.  It's what she had wanted out of the academy, so she was going to enjoy getting used to it.  

She took her tea out onto the front porch with her, and sat on the stairs with it next to her.  She was hoping Lilie would text her back, but she thought she might catch a bus into town anyway, just because she could.
