"I am not a goof," Kier murmured, moving his hand from her hair to slide it around her as well. "I haven't a clue where you got such an idea." He nodded, only for his grin to falter slightly when he heard what sounded like a distant echo of a scream. He glanced down the hall, then back to Asami. "Hey... Did you hear that-?"

Nikolaus had nearly jumped right out of his skin when he heard his friend scream. His attention went immediately to the door as he straightened up. He looked down either side of the hall nervously before moving to go inside the ladies' room. Before he could, however, Sia bolted out and right past him, before he even had the chance to blink. He hardly got a glimpse of the girl, but it was more than enough. He ran after her, not hoping to catch her, but at least to see where she was going in such a rush.

Gabriel wasn't sure how long he'd been walking. What he was sure of, however, was where he was going. There wouldn't be many places open to students in town, but it didn't matter. Where he was planning on going, all that would matter was passing for the right age. With how he felt, he was certain that that wouldn't be an issue. It never had been before, at any rate. The thought of his exams, what he'd been putting all of his effort into these last few weeks, didn't even cross his mind. The morning was too far away to worry about.
