West Tower

[NarwhalTears]

Oh, no. Another disappearance.

She watched as desperation swept over Will,
and walked toward him slowly. "Pan is missing too."

She turned to Lucy, "Might they be together?
Tamara knows Pan fairly well right?"
It seemed a bit optimistic, but the fact that they were missing at the same time couldn't be put aside either.
Maybe they should go talk to a professor about it.

Will bit his lip and sighed heavily. "Professor Swan wasn't in her office when I went there and the Headmistress' gargoyle said she was out of her office. I couldn't find Eleanor at the hut either. If she wasn't up here I would going to see if the Nurse was there. I..." He paused, his desperation growing and driving his insane. He couldn't even process that Pan was missing too. This was his big sister. She always protected him. Where was she?!?  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala's eyes grew wider as Will talked, this wasn't like him.
Normally she was the one who was freaking out.
Silently she grabbed a hold of his hand, hoping that it would comfort him in some way
, knowing that it probably wouldn't.

"If the professors are missing too, maybe they are looking for her as well?" She looked Will in the face, worry in her eyes, and squeezed his hand.
"Will look it's going to be fine. We will find Tammy and Pan." She forced a smile to reassure both him and Lucy.

I wish I knew where to start though.

He bit his lip, his eyes still wild. When she took his hand, he seemed to calm down a little bit, but his eyes still seemed off. He smiled weakly at her. "I'm gonna go check... maybe she's in the hospital wing. Maybe Isis knows where she is. Maybe.. maybe." He turned with a heavy sigh and started to walk away.  

[NarwhalTears]

Indala nodded.
She wasn't sure how much help Isis would be, but Will needed to do
something or he was going to breakdown altogether.
She knew that look, the one where your on the edge,
she had seen it in the mirror many times.

As Will turned to walk away she looked back and forward, trying to decide which party to help.
She really wanted to go with Will even though she had already told Lucy she would help her find Pan;
however now was not the time to worry about being rude.
She shrugged at Lucy apologetically and turned to leave with Will.
Perhaps they would come across Pan as they searched for Tammy.
She caught his hand as they started down the stairs together.

Will was a little surprised when he felt Indala take his hand, and he looked up at her questioningly, that wild look still in his eyes. When he registered that she wasn't trying to stop him but go with him, his eyes soften ever so slightly and some color returned to his face. Nodding he simply said, "Let's go then."

Sissy followed the Ravenclaws diligently, but with a maximum curiosity of her surroundings. This wasn't just like any other castle, obviously. She started realizing how much she underestimated this place. Maybe it wasn't underestimation, but just the unknown? These were towers for crying out loud, nothing any other person (or what she'd now be referring as everyone she knew as well as who she used to be as, a muggle) was used to seeing in their daily lives. She'd be living in scenery, history, something she read about in textbooks. The stone walls made her feel like she was stuck in a Shakespeare's setting, a play, locked by the archaic castle like corridors as well as her own inner restraints. Everything was absolutely beautiful, stunning. It was wonderful. Her heart leapt. Through all the strange, creepy, mystifying, otherworldly paintings, ghosts, and mythical creatures that crossed way her way, she gave them a simple smile of acceptance.

Jayden Michael Cloud

Mood: Anxious
What I am doing: Waiting
What I want to be doing: Talking to Her

Jayden waited outside the class for the lovely Tristain, a smile on his face, ready to walk her anywhere she wants to go. Tristain had told him to wait for her; so that's what he was going to do at that moment. He wanted to see those gorgeous blue eyes and wonderful hair again, and the gentle touch of her hand really kept in the back of his mind.

He watched as the many student wandered by, each going their seperate ways, the look of wonder filling their faces as their first day at the wonderful school dwindled to a close. Soon enough, Tristain would walk out, and he would be able to talk to her for a little while without her brother Colton ever finding out. This would be the first time they had a major conversation since the sorting ceremony, but that was only a day ago; so that wasn't really long. He leaned up against the wall, waiting to see those blue eyes that he keeps being brought up in his mind come out of the classroom.

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Tristain followed the other students out of the classroom, not bothering to hide the fact that she was searching for a certain someone. Walking on her tip toes and peering in between the shoulders of a pair of Slytherin boys, her blue eyes eventually lit up with passion and purpose when she finally caught sight of him.

Slowing to a halt as she worked her way to the edge of the tower's corridor, Tristain's pale lips evolved into a full-blown smile once she drew near to Jayden's side. "I was beginning to think you were avoiding me. We haven't had a healthy conversation since before you were a Gryffindor and I a Ravenclaw." Her words were teasing as she gestured towards the badge on her chest - just in case he hadn't already noticed which of the four Hogwarts houses the tattered sorting hat had assigned her to.

"In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool."

What I am doing: Walking with Tristain
What I want to be doing: This

"Come on Tristain: how could I possibly avoid you? I don't even think I could go a day," he cleverly answered to her teasing statement. He tried to answer with his own charm, but it came out as more of a joke mixed with a flirtatious tone. He decided the charm should be shown in his smile instead.

As the two started to make their way down the stairs, he decided he should ask how her day was as a common courtesy. It was the best thing he could possibly do at this moment, for it showed that he cared. He walked with her close by his side. His leg still was in pain; so he still had sort of a limp and he was sure she would notice, but it really didn't matter. He wasn't going to let that come between the two.

"So, how is your first day of classes treating you Mrs. Raines?" he asked her, using her last name just to mess with her.

 

[Porcelaine Ivory]

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

The burning blush that reached Tristain's cheeks stood out significantly against her pale skin, as did her brilliant blue eyes against their white setting - like the sun against a clear blue sky. "My classes have gone great, so far - much like expected. And you?" She inquired, dropping her gaze to her feet as they moved down the seemingly never-ending staircase.

It was merely a matter of time before she noticed the limp that Jayden had acquired. "Oh, Jayden - you're hurt! I saw you limping into the classroom, what happened to you? Should we stop by the hospital wing?" Suddenly Tristain's tender side kicked in, one of her hands jumping to his forearm to keep him from moving more quickly than necessary in hopes of him having to endure as little pain as possible.

"In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool."

Mood: What I am doing: What I want to be doing:

Jayden switched his gaze back to the intoxicating blue eyes that stood out against her pale skin. Like he said before, everytime he looked into those eyes, he would get lost. There was just something about them that drew him in. Something that really avoided his knowledge, as if it was some kind of higher power. He regained some sense after a brief hiatus; at least, enough for him to answer.

"Uhm...it has been pr--." He was cut off by Tristain's sudden awareness of his injury. He didn't want it to come between their conversation, but it seemed like it was going to unfortunately. When he heard the word hospital wing he instantly shook his head. He didn't want to have to end their conversation so shortly after it started.

"No, I will be fine. I fell on the way up her on these very stairs unfortunately. I had hit my knee and twisted my ankle on the steps. Luckily I did not fall down the steps," he said. Suddenly, he was grabbed. She wanted to make sure that he used the least amount of energy possible, but it didn't really help. So, he gently released her hand and instead, he wrapped his arm around her shoulder, using it more as leverage, not really putting too much weight.

"It would be much more easier like this," he said, chuckling. But...once again...the feeling that he felt on the boat came back, but doubled. It was a great feeling...something that he liked. They walked down the stairs, one step at a time.

 

[Porcelaine Ivory]

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Tristain cringed as Jayden described his tumble, suddenly even more worried about the pace they were moving once he told her that this was the very place he had acquired his injuries. Her body tensed for a moment when the Gryffindor moved his arm to her shoulders. Of course it was purely for the good of getting him down the stairs safely...or was it? Either way, the blue-eyed beauty enjoyed the rush of emotions that it brought about, regardless that she was unable to decipher their meaning.

As they eased down the steps, Jayden naturally resisted a trip to the hospital wing, making it her job to hopelessly insist. Instead, she decided to reason with him. "I bet the nurse could heal you up with the tap of her wand...maybe a little plant-derived ointment? Could be worth it to avoid having to deal with the pain all day - or even longer. And what about flying class - and quidditch try-outs! You don't wanna be thinking about your injuries when you should be focusing on making the team." Tristain slowed her speech to a stop with a subtle smile, hoping her alternative to begging and insisting had worked.

"In seeking wisdom thou art wise; in imagining that thou hast attained it - thou art a fool."

Mood: Extremely Calm
What I am doing: Talking with Tristain
What I want to be doing: This

"Well, if I go to the hospital wing, for I am considering it, you have to be there with me Tristain," he said jokingly, making a witty deal with her. He didn't know if she would really want to stay in the hospital wing with him, for that would be a boring place to stay, but maybe she would. It was an interesting deal to make and it would really show him how comfortable she is with Jayden, something that he really needed to no. It was more of a test than him actually wanting to go to the hospital wing . He looked at her with a genuine smile that no one could simply resist, his green eyes locking with her solid, but beautiful blue beauties that he has grown accustomed to. He used this look as more of a face that would draw out her sympathy rather than laughter.

"I will go if you do that one thing for me," he told her, his arm still wrapped around her shoulder, the weight of his body partially on her. He didn't put too much weight on her however, for that would probably cause more trouble than if he walked down the steep, spiraled steps himself. He didn't want to have her fall down these steps like he almost had. He would make sure that very thing didn't happen. So, instead of putting all his weight, he put partial weight, but made it look like he was putting all of it on her. She probably would not question his lightness, but he was prepared with an answer if asked. He would tell her the truth obviously. He could never lie to her, unless it was dire information that needed to be secret.

"So, what is your answer?" he asked her, wondering what her answer would be. He hoped for the answer that he had wanted to be elegantly tossed with beautiful sounding consonants and over exaggerated verbs from her soft-spoken lips. He would surely be happy if she accepted to escort him to the hospital wing. But he was ready for a no if need be and would not be mad about it.

 

[Porcelaine Ivory]

"Give me a lever long enough and a fulcrum on which to place it, and I shall move the world."

Tristain attempted to flash Jayden a look that said something along the lines of "you honestly think I wasn't planning to come with you?" However, as they locked eyes, she lost herself once again. Her breath came to a halt, getting caught somewhere before it was fully able to leave in the form of an exhale. The thoughts in her mind, and the words that had just been on the tip of her tongue, slowly deteriorated until all she could think about was the endless parade of emotions that continued to course through her body. The lion had a certain power over the eagle - a power she couldn't control, as was clearly displayed in her wide eyes and delayed answer.

When another student pass them on the stairs, bumping into Tristain's shoulder, she suddenly realized that they were still on the Astronomy Tower, and that she was still ogling at Jayden as if he couldn't see her. She forced her eyes away from his, happy that at least her jaw hadn't dropped, too. "Um- yeah... I mean... o- of course I'll go with you, Jayden..." Doing her best to support the Gryffindor's weight, she winced at her own words when she realized how shaken they were. As they headed towards the hospital wing, she wondered how long it would be until she finally got used to this boy's presence.
