The sound of a bell ringing somewhere in the school edged against the dream Saber was having. Groaning, she rolled over onto her side and peaked an eye open. Her room mate Dia was already sitting up albeit with a yawn. Dia stood and sleepily headed for the door. It opened before she reached it. Angel glanced in and grinned at her two charges. "If you are going to bath before morning exercises, you better hurry."
Saber clamored out of bed, her feet hitting the stone floor. She had forgotten they only had 30 minutes. Running after Dia, she caught up and they entered the wash room together. Angel followed, towels in her arms. In the washroom, Saber was surprised to see changes of tunic dresses already laid out. The soft color calming and enticing. Undressing, she slid into the cold pool. She wanted to be as alert as possible. Dia laughed at her from the hot pool. The twins were in the lukewarm pool braiding their hair. Saber shook her head. But things were done differently here. More practical.
Remembering the messy bun Angel had put her hair in the previous evening, she reached up and hesitantly let it down. Angel came over with a brush and started brushing it out. "You just relax a moment while I straighten this out. How would you like it arranged?"
Looking up at Angel shyly, Saber asked, "Partially up with curls down the back?"
Laughing, Angel responded, "Yes, or I'll try. The curls on the back side might not happen unless that is your natural hair. More than likely it will just be wavy."
