(Chapter made by Kitsune0Jester at deviantart.com)
"Well, Little Miss Mummy, you'd better show me my room," Sartana said.
In answer, Tannis pointed to a chestnut wooden door. Doesn't look that bad, Sartana thought. Maybe he just judged it wrongly.
But he was wrong and was in for a shock. After opening the door, he stood in front of what seemed to be the aftermath of a tornado. The wallpaper was streaming down its walls and the windows weren't exactly closed.
"Tannis..."
"Yeah?"
"A-are you sure this is my room?" the demigod stuttered.
Tannis paused in sucking her thumb to reply. "Of course. This is the only room left."
"There has to be some mistake."
"Miss Grimwood is never wrong."
"All right..." Sartana fell into an uncomfortable silence as he paced around the room. His arm was beginning to be a bit tired. In result, he hoisted her onto his other arm. She didn't seem to mind at all.
"You don't like it, do you?" Tannis asked. Sartana didn't say anything at all. She continued, "Well, there's always the basement."
"This school has a basement?"
"For the catastrophies, of course. You can always live down there." Her innocent eyes registered a calm expression on her face, all the while sucking her thumb.
"Eh! I think I like it up here. More light." Sartana inwardly sighed as he glanced around the room once more. Being a demi-god and a room-checker isn't easy...
After a look around, he got used to its unstable appearance. He could give it a home makeover of his own when he had the chance.
Walking out, he almost bumped into Miss Grimwood. "Miss Grimwood!"
"Mr. Sartana, it's a pleasure to see you've gotten used to the room now. Maybe you'll like it here," the teacher said with a smile.
"It looks pretty good," Sartana replied with a small smile of his own.
"I hope Tannis was the least of your troubles. This school isn't exactly fit for a man," she continued.
"Oh no, Ms. Grimwood! She's as fine as a lamb. I'm sure this school will be right for me."
"Well then, we'd better take you on a tour of the school. Tannis would love to be your guide!"
Tannis continued sucking her thumb as the three departed from his room.
