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.

"I feel kinda stupid to admit this. But... you're really the best person I could turn to for talking about this." Umi sighed. That couldn't be truer if she tried: of course, she could go to Presea as well. Or Yuuko. Both women were the closest to mother figures Umi had away from home.

But Clef knew Ascot more than anyone (except perhaps Caldina). The Palu was his pupil, after all. If anyone could clue her in about this, that was likely the master mage.

"It's just that I need to know if it's true. If... he actually feels something else for me aside from friendship. And I'm not sure if I should ask him directly." Which was probably the best thing to do, but... knowing Ascot... "He'd get flustered. And I SURE don't want to seem so pushy."
