fifth investigation

[stagemanagers]

[Oh, what a night.
Why'd it take so long to see the light,
Seemed so wrong, but now it seems so right.
What a time, what a night.

What a night last night was! Dancing under the stars, romance, family...all the things a good school dance should stand for. Even with everyone being sick it could still, overall, be considered a hige success.

But on the subject of the sickness thats spread through the school...when people start to rouse from their dance-fuled exhaustion in the morning all the symptoms seem to be completely gone. Which should be good news but knowing what day it is.

Maybe you should leave your dorms and investigate.]

[The blankets are nice. She feels cold and clammy, her body feels weak and her head spins. She glances up at Hester, at Benjamin, and at Peregrine's retreating form.

Finally she pauses on LSP and... god help her, she tries to smile.]

I knew it was a good idea, teaching you to use a sword.

[sugarlumps]

I know I'm hardcore. I think I'm a hero now, back home?

[Or she's had some REALLY weird dreams, but everyone else seems to think they're memories. It'd be nice if it were real, at least.]

Yeah, well. Don't die or anything, you're still way better at it.

[Benjamin remains sitting there, combing the fingers of his good hand through Maya's hair soothingly, barely able to take his eyes off of her in case she slips away from him while he isn't looking.

But he looks up at Hester, and asks:]

Miss Hester. Does she have to come?

[tailor_made]

[Hester purses her lips and nods.]

It's part of the rules.

[barberic]

[Benjamin frowns. Screw the rules, he wants to say.

But the thought of having her out of his sight for hours, when she could still take a turn... Of finding out who did this to her (and Miss Elle, and Orpheus, and Eurydice- God, not them -) only to come back from the courtroom and find that she passed anyway, alone...

He nods.]

Can you at least have a chair readied for her? So that she doesn't have to stand.

[tailor_made]

Of course, of course. I'll make sure it's there.
