"Harrow!" yells Gideon, breaking her silence with deep annoyance.
But the door has already swung shut, and when Gideon opens it again, Harrow is nowhere to be seen.
What she does see is Isaac Tettares braiding Jeannemary the Fourth's hair up out of her face as they mutter to each other. They look up as Gideon steps through the door, but don't seem to notice anything: Gideon glances over her shoulder and only sees the doorway to the eating-atrium. There's Harrowhark, with Palamedes and Camilla the Sixth, just like Gideon remembers.
"Have you two been paired a very long time?" asks Jeannemary's small voice, and Gideon looks at her in surprise as Isaac moans in embarrassment.
"It feels like forever," she says honestly, and slips her glasses on, feeling instantly better. "Come on. Let's go."
