Summary; Umi wanted to discuss some things with Clef.
Log;

At exactly one minute past midnight, Clef finally opened his door. The entire apartment was quiet, most of its other residents having gone off to bed several hours ago. This mage, for his part, was just waking up - there hadn't been much else to do alone in his room for half the day. Stepping out and closing the door behind him, he had half a mind to pause at Presea's room but ended up walking silently by and sparing only a glance through the half-open door. She'd understand if he had to postpone their time together for something more urgent, which was exactly what he felt he had to do.

His feet carried him across the house to the Water Knight's door, where he hesitated a moment before knocking softly. If she was still awake, at least, she'd probably hear it.

The knock sounded loud enough to call for Umi's bemused attention in the silence of the apartment. Hours before she and Ascot had come back from their... date -- she was still having a bit of trouble calling it that -- ending a curse day that'd been entirely too telltale, way too confusing for the Water Knight's taste. It'd filled her head with even more questions than she'd had been asking herself ever since Konata told her about this, ever since Fuu confirmed it. And then there was that stupid mirror curse that only complicated matters more...

A sigh heaved in Umi's chest as she rose from where she'd been lying on her bed, fully dressed and quite aware she wouldn't be able to sleep until her talk with Clef was over. She trusted the Guru to be a good listening ear, and a neutral one, as she'd told him.

Still, deep inside, she felt a certain reluctance about bringing up certain subjects. But she'd been beating around the literal bush for far long enough. Time to face the music, then. And ask for advise if it'd helped her.

Without must hesitancy Umi opened the door and nodded at the mage. "Night, Clef. Sorry to bother you at such hour." She glanced back at her room and gave him a tiny smile. "Come on in."
