"[b]Perhaps you should join us in the dorms, it'd definitely be safer than hanging out inside the school buildings, though I won't blame you if you'd rather be alone.[/b]"

Darius had taken to leaning on his sword in the aftermath of the not-battle. Though certainly there would be a debriefing later, he hadn't expected the emotionless invitation. Of course he'd considered taking to the dorms at some point, though whether he would or not was still up in the air. She didn't need to invite him... wait. What if she was flirting with him? That was even almost a smile right there! Yes, the hallway would make for adequate sleeping arrangements for tonight.

Lost in thought as he was, Darius found himself a bit taken aback by the sudden appearance of Hunter pointing accusingly at him. For some people, this might be cause for anger and argument. Others might tend to get away from the situation as quickly as possible, or to shut down in the face of social danger. Darius was the last; it was his habit to passively ride out the storm. He watched Hunter through bored-looking eyes as the dressing-down continued.

Eventually the sniper was finished, and after another short speech he'd turned and left the courtyard.

An awkward silence prevailed in the courtyard for a moment, before Jace made his own closing remarks and left. Darius turned his eyes back to what was left of the students gathered in the courtyard and He cocked his head. "[b]Williams and Stone seem a bit stressed at the moment, and it seems Eindz is taking care of Belladonna right now,[/b]" he said. "[b]Is everyone else available for a team meeting? It would be in our best interests to work out what we all know about what is going on right now.[/b]" There were probably a lot of bad assumptions flying around right now. At the very least he needed to disseminate his own observations of the situation; and if the others had their own observations, he could add those pieces to the puzzle. "[b]Although--it would probably be best to have such a meeting somewhere indoors, or at least away from the gate.[/b]"
