Mason nodded along, his movements slow and lagging, the exhaustion really settling into his bones at this point. "A bath and sleep, next on the list if I survive my mother's office." Of course if he had to venture a guess, those would be Morwenna's stipulations after a bone-crushing hug anyway.

"Oh, I don't envy you there. Thank Merlin school doesn't start up for another few weeks." Mason had plenty of time to recuperate and set himself straight before having to go back to work. That was certainly a perk. Lolling his head to the side when Miss Connolly suddenly disappeared, Mason found her best over... stretching? Well he couldn't blame her there. Moving to roll his own shoulders, he leaned back again to rest his head against the wall behind his chair. "Any idea how long this'll take? Wondering if a power nap is possible." That would be lovely.
