"Me? A pest? Jocelyn... Honestly, all these hurtful words today. I'm beginning to get the impression you don't like me." Actually, that impression had been made quite a long time ago, more or less the first instant they had spoken. if he was truly as annoying as she said though then she'd take more action against him aside from just verbally biting him now and again. It might be a bit of a stretch, but Tora felt like Jocelyn was actually enjoying his presence. Heh... Sadist, having fun with someone like him. Pouting when she gave another harsh remark he shook his head, sighing lamentably as he looked away. "Oh Jocelyn... You make me so sad, you know that...? And I've done nothing to deserve all of this hate." If this was how detention worked then it was going to be fun, he could definitely get used to this. Mr. Gervais was quick to enter and completely ruin that hope however, detention wasn't going to be even remotely as entertaining as he'd imagined. What's more they had to stay utterly quiet for an entire hour, not a single peep or they'd receive further punishment. To sit beside Jocelyn for an entire hour and not say a word, well damn... That was going to be a boring session.

Sitting in silence beside the princess was somehow uncomfortable, and Tora couldn't place why that was. Every time they had been around one another, sans her little trance, they had been speaking. It had only been a day in the making, but he'd become accustomed to their incessant back and forth, it was fun. Not having it now was pretty disappointing, he didn't know what to do with himself now. To his surprise and moderate delight he heard Jocelyn's voice after a few moments, looking over at her with a smile. A bit perplexed seeing her not speaking whatsoever it quickly dawned on him what the case was, she was using telepathy. With a knowing smirk he glanced away, acting none the wiser as he began to listen in on her thoughts. Some of the very first words that crossed her mind nearly made him guffaw loudly, he had been called cute! Sure, cute might be a ways away from 'sexy' or 'gorgeous', but it meant there was some attraction. Hah! Even after all his nonsense and constant teasing she still thought he was cute, that was pretty funny. If he behaved himself, even threw in some more suave moves he mused whether or not he could really seduce Jocelyn, it would be fun to test sometime.

Not being able to talk meant her thoughts were going wild, and Jocelyn had an awful lot to say. Opening up the way she had Tora had become pretty excited to hear more, curious to hear more about himself. Topics changed promptly after that however, and to something that was much more deserving of his attention. Something as simple as pulling hair wouldn't warrant much attention if it didn't seem so suspicious to him. Having someone yank on your hair was awfully hard to imagine, and to do it and slip away unseen so swiftly was awfully difficult. Aidan couldn't possibly have done it, there was no way he could move quickly enough, he was a regular old human. When had something gotten past him though? Had it been when he was away, or had he truly overlooked something? That was troubling... So someone, or something had made contact with Jocelyn. That meant the people he was working against knew where she was, and they were bold. Great, now he really had to keep an eye on her, lest she fall into their hands. Surveillance just during the evenings wouldn't be enough, it was going to be a full time job.

The remainder of Jocelyn's thoughts were rather bland and uninteresting after that. Just as well, it meant Tora could focus more on the problem at hand. She was definitely in danger, someone other than him had approached her in her sleep and gotten close enough to touch her. Thankfully they hadn't harmed her, and he couldn't pick out any indication that magic had been used. So was it just a scare tactic then? Considering all of the possibilities Tora had to wonder if he'd been made, if whoever this person was knew of his existence. He'd taken every precaution he could have to keep himself hidden, if he'd been spotted then he was dealing with someone pretty good. Wonderful, why couldn't he have an idiot who exposed themselves so he could be done with it quickly? Glancing up at the clock he groaned inwardly, quite annoyed they still had fifteen minutes. He had to get to work, he needed to look for any clues of what he was dealing with, not sit here wasting his time. Eying Mr. Gervais disdainfully at the front of the class he debated on knocking the man out, he could easily get up there and do it before anyone knew what happened. How would he explain something like that to Jocelyn though? Meh... Like it or not he was going to have to sit out the remainder of detention, he couldn't risk putting himself out there, not just yet.

"Jocelyn... Hey, wait up!" After detention both he and Jocelyn had been quick to leave, and she was more than ready to be done with him. Tora couldn't let her wander off without somehow passing on a word of warning to her, he had to make certain she took precautions. Since walking her home was pretty well out of the question he had to think of something else, another way to keep her safe without outright saying it. "Listen... I know you hate my and all, but..." he began, trying to come off as reluctant. Looking away he pursed his lips slightly, sighing as he folded his arms over his chest. "I'm behind in my classes, and... Could use some help. You're the only one I know in the school really, so... Think I could get a hand...?" It was a bold faced lie, the curriculum here was an utter joke. It it meant getting a chance to keep in touch with Jocelyn however then Tora would happily play the dummy. Looking back at the princess he smiled meekly, reaching into his pocket and taking out his cell phone. "Can I have your number...? I promise I won't text you and bother you, I'll save that for when we're in class. I'll only text for emergencies, okay?"
