Morning Jogging Partner pv Zephyr Deakin

Cassie exits her common room shortly after curfew has ended. Walking down the spiral staircase of the west tower and then down to the ground floor of the castle, she soon finds herself by the Great Lake whose surface is still covered with mist. She is wearing sun-protective clothing, including a blue jacket and a pair of sports shorts, revealing her long pale legs. She ties a high ponytail and wears a blue headband-- she is coming to jog, as she has done while preparing for the spring ball.

She enjoys jogging on spring mornings, especially by the Great Lake. The coolness of the mist and the warmth of spring matches perfectly, making it comfortable to jog. The beautiful scenery of plants and the vast lake also makes her exercise enjoyable. The morning air always seem to be fresher than ever, every time she finishes jogging and heads for breakfast, she feels refreshed and energetic.

She is jogging at a pace not too fast, yet not too slow. For morning jogs, endurance is more important than speed. After a few laps by the lake, despite the cool weather, she breaks into a slight sweat, her fair cheeks flushing softly. A single bead of sweat hung from her long eyelashes. She stops to wipe her sweat with her arm, panting gently. She does not expect to see someone else jogging as well.

As soon as they're allowed to go out, Zephyr was out of the castle. It was already a habit rather than an intention. Whether it's to fly on his broom or jog around the school ground, he would do it the same time and place. He finished a few laps around the lake on a leisurely pace. Other times, he wished he got his player and earphones, jogging would have been more fun that way. He liked morning jogging mostly because it’s quiet and everything feels calm. The lake is misty and there aren’t many people around. It also helps him clear his mind. During the day, he thought about a lot of things, flying, broom racing, and his prefect responsibilities. When he runs, he doesn’t have to think so much, he just focuses on breathing and moving, one step at a time. Most of all, he loves the view of the lake.

He reached the shoreline to take a break and just stared out into the mist. The Great Lake always had this unreal stillness in the early morning but then he noticed some movement. Initially, he could see a silhouette through the mist on foot and looking for closely, he saw Cassie. The girl was wearing her workout clothes and more relaxed and less composed than when they usually speak.

He watched for a moment before it fully registered that she was actually here, the girl was jogging at the same time. Early mornings seem to collect people like this but it's very rare for him to see someone he knew. It's usually random students who also love what he does this early. “Morning Cassie.” He greeted her in a casual but warm tone.

For some reason, that day, he noticed a lot of the details about her, such as the faint flush in her cheeks and the bead of sweat caught near her lashes. It was a strange thing to notice, but then why would be question that when he had always been observant. “You’re serious about this jogging thing. I thought I was the only one mad enough to be out here this early." He didn't expect to run into her again so soon after they talked on a more personal level. Though they did agree to do this together. "Want to go with then? We can continue this together? It's sunrise soon, the view here is magnificent."
