"Oh?" The request caught Weisse off-guard. He never really used his phone for much other than music and photos. He forgot he had it sometimes.
But it was curious. Why did she need his number?
"Umm... sure. Hold on." His was a slightly newer model, a jet-black Samsung with a silver rim. There were no attachments or decorations, just a screen and buttons.
His contacts were even more dismal than hers. There was one - his own number.
"I don't get out much" he laughed softly.
Mein Gott, she's even more embarrassed than me.
He put his own number into Nikita's phone rather quickly, having devoted it to memory, before handing it back. With that out of the way, they continued back to the dorm.

They got back first. Weisse claimed his bed, sitting down to remove the rucksack he so foolishly brought along. Albione, however, stayed at his hip.
"Sit down, make yourself at home. The others should be here shortly."
The timing literally could not have been more perfect. The second he finished his sentance, Daniel and Tala returned.
"See?"
"Weisse, Shakuntala is going to room with us tonight. I hope that's okay?"
"Sure. I was going to suggest something like that anyway"

"I don't mind sleeping on the floor, Daniel. I'm used to it."
Weisse actually wasn't keen on the idea of the girls staying over - he was modest and valued his privacy. But he couldn't leave them hanging, not after that.
"Just don't stay up all night. We've still got school in the morning"

"Dude, I'll sleep on the floor. That's your bed. I don't want to take your bed." Daniel said with a laugh as he put his blanket and pillow on the floor in front of the flat screen TV the school so kindly provided. This was the TV Daniel had all his video game consoles hooked up to. He grabbed the PS3 Controller from his bag and put in Skyrim. It was fantasy game and fantasy was Daniel's favorite genre of anything. Books, Games, dreams and life it's self. He always looked at fantasy as a genre that you could express yourself in more than anywhere. In a fantasy world anything was possible.

Daniel smiled as the title screen appeared and he began playing. "I won't stay up all night, I'll probably go to bed around 10 or 11. And, if you want me to I'll turn down the TV or turn it completely off. I don't want to keep anybody from sleeping tonight." Daniel said looking at everybody in the room. Daniel was laying flat on his stomach with his pillow under his chest. His blanket spread out on the floor flat, so when he was ready for bed he could roll himself up in it. He loved rolling himself up in his blankets, it reminded him of warm hugs.

Shakuntala didn't want to take Daniel's bed from him, not when she was sure she wasn't going to sleep in any case. She didn't think Weisse was comfortable with Nikita and herself here, but she definetely wasn't comfortable in her room right now, and she didn't know what else to do. "The girl that yell at you is my room mate" Shakuntala said with a sigh, watching as Daniel settled down in front of the TV, which clearly was a gaming station for him.

Curious, Shakuntala went over, with her drawing gear and careful not to step on the blankets he was laying on, she watched the TV, seeing that it was Skyrim. Without even thinking about it she sat down, and for a moment, seemed transfixed by the game. Then she sighed, and opened her drawing gear. She had use to play video games with her brothers, and these made her feel nostalgic for those times. She had her own computer in her room, and a hand held gaming console in her room, along with comic books and other such things. Sometimes she thought that her brothers had corrupted her. That she wasn't a true girl. Of course, farming life could do that to.

She smiled at her thoughts, and looked down at her blank drawing page. She began to draw. Her habit of drawing people as animals stumped her for a minute. After a moment, she decided to leave it for later, instead, she began to just draw randomly. It was only as she was finishing that she realised that it was the scene of the girl' attack. She grimaced, ripping the page out and scrunching it up.

In order to distract herself, she just began during the room around them. She drew Weisse, Nikita, and Daniel. She often had trouble drawing herself, so she left herself out. It was just a simple calming measure, and it helped to make her relax.

Takeshi heard his instructions: to go door to door to ever person's room, asking if someone with a katana was in there, or if they have had seen such a person. He was then to text Clarius the situation, where Katana-Dude was, who was with him, and so on. Then he was to go find Katana-Dude and tell him to head down to the nurse's office to speak with Clarius.

Simple enough, right?

Ehhhh.

"Claire, don't you think that's a bit excessive? I mean, every room? Come on. I'm gonna do it, but still."

With that statement, Takeshi left his friend and roommate to examine the injured girl and went to gather information. The first door he had inquired at took a little while to open. The girl on the other side was dressed to go to bed and had a toothbrush in her mouth. Oh dear. Takeshi recognized her and suddenly realized how difficult this door-to-door quest was going to be.

"Maetaka, why didn't you ever call me like you said you would?"

"Takkun, you idiot! I -sob- hate you! I thought -sob- we had something special!"

"Takeshi? Oh, please, come in. I'm always up for a good time~"

"Maetaka, I already found someone else. Please leave."

"Please don't leave again, Takeshi! Stay with me, pleeeease!"

These phrases, variations on these phrases, and phrases either too emotional, hateful, or explicit to record here were heard many times by the young man. This was the only problem with flirting so much, at least to Takeshi. You got into awkward situations like these. Horrible.

Eventually, he knocked on the door of the man he was looking for, not that he would have known. From inside, he heard noises inside that sounded like someone playing Skyrim. A fantasy game, eh? Takeshi liked Dissidium 013(Tridecim): Ultimate Illusion much better. It was a fantasy fighting game (meaning it took more skill) that had all of your favorite Ultimate Illusion characters, including Enkidu, a fan favorite from Ultimate Illusion 5. It also had fan non-favorites. Like Naav. Nobody likes Naav. It was also on handheld meaning he could play it any time he wanted.

But that didn't matter. What mattered was waiting for someone to answer the door.

Nikita didn't think it would hurt to stay a little longer in the room with Weisse, she had no one in her own room that was waiting for her safe return as of yet, so it didn't matter if she killed some time before light's out. The blonde went to the tin can of cookies and placed the top over the rest. She decided that she would just save the rest for tomorrow, she was sure that Daniel or Tala would be more than happy to eat it. When Weisse told her to sit she had picked a spot on a computer desk chair, it was on Weisse's side of the room and she watched him place his things back on the bed. Actually Nikita was about to ask what was in the bag when he spoke his prediction that soon came true.

Turning her head to look at the two walk in, Nikita chuckled and gave Weisse a look. "You are psychic." She teased, giggling and waving hello to Daniel and Tala, she than looked at what Tala had in her posession. Her inner question was answered when Daniel announced that Tala would be staying in the dorm with the two boys. She blinked and looked between the three. Was that...even allowed?...

"...And besides, I think there was still cookies"

Nikita smiled and handed her the tin as Daniel left to take a shower. "Here, plenty more." She smiled and scooted the chair closer to Shakuntala. "Us girls need to stick together, I believe is American saying." She pointed her finger up and giggled, looking to Weisse as he was the only boy in the room...Well boy in mind and body. As time went by Nikita asked Shakuntala about the guitar, Who taught her how to play? She also praised the fact that guitar players were very talented and she was never able to learn herself. She than became fascinated by the bow and arrow and asked how long she had practiced with the weapon.
It wasn't long till Daniel came back in with his question. Of course Nikita had no problem with it, she had been exposed to hairy man chest and penises all her life, as well as breast and vaginas...lets just say that Nikita didn't find vaginas and breast attractive in a sexual way, though he does dream of one day having some of his own...

With that thought she sighed and gave a sad sort of smile before Daniel began to speak.

"So, I have a feeling people think I attacked the girl."

Nikita frowned and continued to listen to Daniel's dilemma.

"Nikita do you want the sofa? It folds out into a bed."

"Oh no, no It's alright." Nikita said with a light pink blush on her cheeks, once again her hands were up in front of her chest and shaking from side to side in protest. "I live next door, so only hop-skip-jump away...I think is saying..." A finger pressed against her chin as her lips began mouthing the saying in silence. She just stopped and shrugged, her embarresement rising. "Besides, my room is less," she waved her arms in the space of the room. "Packed in." She said and eyes widened. "No offense, please. I have less things now that I unpacked." Nikita commented, these four years made her master at storing stuff in the room.

It was a maybe a couple of minutes later, after Daniel had set up his spot and began to play games, also when Tala moved the spot to begin drawing, that Nikita yawned. She covered her mouth and smiled shyly. "Excue me." She commented softly and got up, moving the chair to where it belonged and took her tin of cookies. "I should be getting back to my room. Today was too much for a first day back on campus." For a quick moment there was a hard, uneasy look in her eyes, but those lovely green orbs went back to pleasent as she made contact with the others. "Shakuntala," Nikita took in the drawing female's form on the floor. "I believe is proper to sleep in my room. Daniel and Weisse are still men after all in mind. For tonight stay in my room." She looked to the boys. "It is proper thing to do." She reminded them, giving them that mommy look of dont-argue-I'm-right. She was their senpai after all. "Good night Daniel, good night Weisse." She bowed respectfully to the boys.

Than a knock to the door. It was probably the RA, at least it was what Nikita thought. Going to the door the blonde had a feeling she was going to have to explain the reason why there was a girl in the dorm...or explain why she was there and than have to explain that she was, unfortunately, male.

"Good Evening-"

There was a pause in her greeting as she looked up at the Vice President of the student council, Takeshi Maetaka. He was also rumored to be in a club known asa the Occult Club in the school. That rumor which Nikita had deduced to be true since he was close friends with the Branfords Siblings. It wasn't that she disliked Maetaka, she just did not enjoy his stubborness when it came to flirting with women. Of course Nikita was well aware of Maetaka, though he, and the Branfods might not be so well-informed about her.
"Maetaka-sama." She finished with a small smile on her pink lips. She had once had a crush on him, before she realized how infamous he was with a woman's heart. Of course she was a woman of honor and would not be caught in a spider's web such as his...no matter how handsome...and tall...and-нет!NET!No! A strong, independent, transgendered woman like Nikita needed no skirt chaser!...was that the saying... She believed there was a 'black' added there somewhere but...Nikita wasnt black... Still! The same meaning applied that Nikita would be one of the many few girls to fall under Maetaka's lovely...strong...breathtakingly beautiful gaze....

'Я собираюсь надрать вам .*' Her thoughts threatened.

With a kind, bright smile, Nikita took Shakuntala's arm, hoping she had grabbed her things. Turning her head, she looked to Weisse. "Remeber about after 7. The same for Daniel." She gave Weisse a soft smile for a good night and tried not to be disrespectful when moving past the fourth year, and into her room next door.

"Мне не нравится этот парень . Независимо от того, является ли красивое имя .**" She said, her normally soft green eyes, hard and glaring at the now closed door.

*I'm going to kick you.
**I do not like this guy. Regardless of whether it has a beautiful name .

When Nikita questioned her on her guitar, Shakuntala shrugged "my dad played guitar, and he taught me how to play. He taught my brothers to, but none of them seemed to have a...talent with it. I did, and I took to it like a fish in water" she said with a smile and a laugh "as for my bow and arrow, I learned that myself. My brothers gave me my now and arrow when I was ten, and I soon learned to hunt animals. I got so good that sometimes we didn't need to eat our own animals, but instead used them for stock, or for their wool or milk" she said, watching as Nikita studied the weapon.

When Nikita's questions seemed to run out, Shakuntala went back to her drawing. Then looked up when Nikita said that she would go back to her room, and she smiled kindly "it's a hop, skip and a jump away" she said, not wanting to offend her, just trying to be kind and help her with her English. Shakuntala had no issues with sleeping with the boys, but rose, gathering her things, when Nikita said that she should sleep in her room, to be proper. She smiled, slinging her gear over her shoulder, making sure it was all secure before following Nikita to the door, saying a quick goodbye to Daniel and Weisse "thanks for the offer. I'm following my hearts desire of more cookies" she said rightly, "Seeya tomorrow!" She waved, looking forward as Nikita opened the door.

She stopped, seeing someone there. Shakuntala frowned, not knowing who the guy was until Nikita said "Maetaka-sama.". Shakuntala had heard of him, but hadn't had any interaction with him so far, not did she care do. She looked him over once, as if studying him briefly, then shrugged. He seemed to hold himself with arrogance, as if he knew how he looked, and was well aware of the charms he had on woman. And that put Shakuntala right off. So she simply appeared disinterested, and let Nikita led her away, twisting slightly so she could move passed the guy without hitting him with any of her gear.

She followed Nikita inside to Nikita's room, slipping inside, and putting her gear down as Nikita shut the door. "That guy is like a peacock, I think. Can't help but show his feathers and draw all the girls to him. I dislike that sought of arrogance and...smugness" she said, looking around Nikita's room

Weisse was that caught up in thought that he hardly reacted to anything until the knock on the door.
Who could that be?
But, of course, Nikita got there first, allowing a character that he would much rather keep outside in.
"Takeshi Maekama. To what do we owe this... suprise?" He said in a voice not quite cold, but not quite welcoming either. He walked over to the door, glancing subtly at Nikita and Tala, before continuing in a stiff, formal tone.
"Herr Maekama, if you would please come in." Then, in a warmer tone "Goodnight, Tala. Goodnight, Nikita. Keep safe."

When those two had cleared out, he called Daniel over.
"Don't try anything funny. I'm still jumpy from what happened." Weisse turned to Takeshi again, his hand resting on his rapier's hilt. He wasn't trying to intimidate the older boy, simply remind him to keep himself in check.
Takeshi reminded him, in some ways, of his sister. Cocky. Suave. Self-assured. He played with girls' hearts like a kitten with a ball of string.
"What is it?"

'Maetaka-sama?' the young man thought as Nikita and Shakuntala walked away. The only people that ever called him "-sama" were his grandfather's servants, and he regularly requested they not do so. The title "-sama" made Takeshi uncomfortable. He hadn't done anything to deserve being called such a thing. All he'd managed to accomplish in life so far was get lucky about the family he was born into (or perhaps "unlucky" was the right word) and read a lot. However, before he could request that "-san" or simply nothing at all were fine enough, both of the girls had disappeared into a separate room and another person had appeared at the door.

Takeshi entered when he was bid to, thought he politely corrected Weisse's pronunciation of his name. "It's actually Maetaka, if you don't mind." It was only after he corrected the other student that he realized the rapier he seemed to have his hand on. Hey, this guy had a sword. Maybe he knew Katana-Dude! But the way he was holding seemed like he was ready to use it if he needed to. It wasn't like he was going to need to use it, though. Takeshi wouldn't hurt a fly. Well, maybe a fly, but flies were bugs and bugs were Satan.

"No need for weapons, I'm not going to hurt you. I just want to talk. I've been requested by my good friend Clarius Branford to go door to door looking for some guy with a katana. He wanted me to send him down to the nurse's office so he could have a word with him. Something about that girl that got stabbed, I think. Either of you know the guy? Either of you actually the guy?"

"Verzeihein sie mir, fruend, it has been some time. This language is unfamiliar and difficult." Weisse gave a spiteful chuckle "Other Europeans would say Deutsch and Italiano were hard to learn, but by far Japanisch is the worst. Maetaka, Si? Herr Maetaka."

"If Herr Brandford needed to talk so badly, why isn't he here? I've been told by a good freind of mine not to leave the dorm after seven." The pale boy's eyes narrowed, his voice dripping with accusation "Seems curious that he sends a proxy to get a lone boy. It would be simpler, safer and miles more logical to find him on his own, especially if you've just gone door-to-door. And I'm sure you have encountered some difficulty yourself. Accusing looks, wasted time, some hassle with the... well, the female persuasion. I doubt one of your reputation made it through the girls' dorm without a hitch?"
"Anyway, I'm not the one you seek." Now Weisse turned to Daniel "It's up to you. Promise me you won't get hurt if you go?"

"It's fine, I get it. Languages can be tough to learn, and Japanese is up there with the toughest. No big deal."

Takeshi was a little put-off by the hostility of the person to whom he was speaking, but decided to play it cool and tell him the truth. "I don't know for sure why Claire sent me on this mission, but knowing that guy he has his reasons. Considering he's staying in the nurse's office while I look for the guy with the katana leads me to believe he may be staying with the girl who got stabbed. Maybe inspecting her for clues to find out who did it. He's a natural detective, that guy." When he finished tooting his buddy's horn and explaining his motives, Takeshi nervously chuckled a bit and continued on speaking.

"And about the door-to-door thing, well, you're pretty spot-on with your judgement of the situation. I won't go into details, but let's just say I got wildly varying reactions and I am pretty beat because of the ordeal." He then turned to Daniel. "And I guess your roomie's turning the conversation over to you means you're my man? Are you Katana-Dude?"

"Yeah, I'm Kanata dude." Daniel smiled at the boy and fell back into his bed. He then looked back at the screen and continued playing his video games. "I'm pretty sure I've already answered all the questions your friend asked but I'd be happy to answer more if you just hold on a minute." Daniel said saving the game and turning off his PS3. "What do you need my good man?" Daniel asked with a laugh as he moved to the edge of his bed and began to sit looking at Takeshi. Daniels Katana laid right next to him in the black polished sheath. Daniel smiled once more waiting for the questions.

"Actually, I, personally have no questions for you. I, frankly, couldn't care less about your involvement with this, It's just that Clarius wants to see you. He's the one that wants to question you. I think you left before he was done. Or something." Takeshi shrugged nonchalantly when he finished speaking. It was then that he remembered he was supposed to text Claire with information after he found Katana-Dude. He held up a single finger to signify something like "gimme a sec" or something of the like and pulled out his phone. The text he began typing out quickly read as follows:

Yo. Found him. Was in his room. Was with a couple girls. Called me "-sama." Was also with roommate. Had sword too, but different kind. Telling him to go talk to you. May or may not go, but seems happy to answer questions. Pretty cooperative guy, it seems. -Your wingman Maetakeshi
P.S. Dealt with exes going door-to-door. Not fun. 3/10, would not do again.

He often signed his texts to Clarius in such a way. Takeshi was as close to a wingman as the poor slave could get. And he was a fan of portmanteaus, hence the combining of his family and given names. But that was irrelevant.

He looked up to signify he had finished the task on his phone and was ready for a response from Daniel.

"I'd be happy to go, but not now. I'm tired and I need sleep for school tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience." Daniel with a smile as he looked at Takeshi. "And Yeah, I may have left before he was done but me and Shakuntala had to go back to her dorm and get her stuff. I offered to let her stay the night because it wasn't safe. She accepted, but then Nikita and her went over to her dorm because they're both girls; they also thought it would be better. Which I agree. Weisse wants sleep and with 4 people in a room I don't think it could have worked out." Daniel said laughing.

" Sorry that I talk so much. Kinda a habit." Daniel said smiling and picking his cover and pillow up off the floor. He then put his PS3 controller back with his videogames. After that he began to make his bed, once done he looked back at Takeshi. "I don't want to be rude, but can you please leave now. I really want to go to sleep." Daniel didn't like being rude but he was tired and he could tell Weisse was too.

After showing Tala where she would be sleeping for tonight, the two blondes shared a few words with one another before going to sleep, the sound of soft music putting Nikita to sleep as the dim Christmas lights that hung around her room glittered overhead.

The Next Morning~!

Nikita rarely had any trouble getting up in the morning, her body was used to it seeing as her grandparents rose with the sun. A soft jingle of a harp came from her flip phone announcing that it was time to wake up. So reaching out she silenced the alarm and sat up, stretching her arms and back. Her hair was loose and curled in all sorts of dirrections as her bed head tended to be really bad. Her face was free of make up and she was free from a shirt, exposing her male chest. Pushing the blankets aside, Nikita walked to the window and opened the curtains, light barging in and warming her skin. She smiled sleepily, a lopsided lazy smile and yawned again as she turned and saw Shakuntala laying in bed.It was still early so she allowed the female to sleep in while she began to heat up some water in the corner where a hot plate was set up.with a tea pot.
"Mmm tea in the morning."

The previous night, Takeshi had graciously left when asked. He knew just how important sleep could be.

Apparently, Clarius didn't.

That same night that Takeshi had left the room of those who he'd found after a long ordeal of searching, that same night that Takeshi wished more than anything to get a good night's sleep, that same night that Takeshi had flopped onto his bed the instant he returned to his room, Clarius refused to allow the poor young man to sleep. Of course, it was nothing like Clarius forcing his roommate to stay awake, no. It was unlikely that he even intended to mess up Takeshi's sleeping habits whatsoever. However, he had kept the light on the whole night and had stayed awake, formulating theories listening for any strange noises.

This kept Takeshi from getting his oh-so-dear hours of rest. And beyond even that, Claire had the nerve to, come morning, ask the poor red-haired fellow to return, in his stead, to the room he had just visited the night prior and conduct an interview with the man with whom Claire himself had intended to conduct an interview with. Basically, he was forcing Takeshi to be his little errand-boy.

But, Takeshi could understand why he would do this. He was treated like a slave by his sister on a daily basis. It was only natural to do the same to his close friend to regain some sense of control. Maybe.

Or maybe Clarius was just being an asshat. Either one was a possibility.

In the time Takeshi had taken to ponder these possibilities, he had arrived at the door leading to Daniel and Weisse's room. It was somewhat early in the morning. They might have been asleep. They both had weapons. Takeshi did not want to wake them. If he did, it would likely appear rude. Takeshi did not want to appear rude in front of two people who had weapons. All he had to fight with were two mugs (one read "World's Dumbest Brat"(given to him by his father last Christmas), the other "World's Sleaziest Douche"(to be given to his father the coming Christmas)) filled with a near-boiling black liquid that wafted a truly magnificent aroma.

Instant coffee.

Transplanting one of his mugs into his other hand, such that he was carrying both in his left and had his right open for use, he mustered up a great deal of courage, formulated a battle plan if he was double-teamed by armed teenagers (mostly involving hot coffee to the face and/or groin), reached out in front of him, and knocked on the door.

Shakuntala was happy to curl up and sleep, after talking with Nikita for a few moments, and she fell asleep easily, her hand curled around her mother's locket. She rose early, use to doing it on the farm, and then just stared at the ceiling until she fell asleep again.

She woke to the sounds of movement, and yawned, stretching, and looking over to Nikita. She sat up, and said, "Good morning" She bit her lip, and decided that she had probably over stayed her welcome, even if she did want to stay her. It would be awesome to room with Nikita, instead of the beast of a room mate.

She sighed, and said, "I should go get ready. Despite the fact I'd rather stay, I might get into trouble, despite the fact you're just stuck in a male body. Rules, right" She sighed heavily again, and rose, gathering her things. "I'll meet you for breakfast in the cafeteria, okay?" She said, smiling and heading out to the girls dorms and into her room, to the bathroom. She showered, changed, and headed outside, towards the cafeteria with her backpack on her back, before hesitating, and heading back to the guys dorms, and nikita's, knocking to see if she was still there.

Shakuntala did want to admit that she was a bit uneasy walking by herself.

Shakuntala did want to admit that she was a bit uneasy walking by herself.

It was first thing in the morning, and the sun had just risen over the horizon.

So then, why was Clairus already awake, dressed, and moving around things in a storage closet? Simple. Diana was being Diana.

Why was he already awake? Well, he didn't sleep at all last night. He was too busy piecing together the mystery, as well as trying to find out what info he could about Daniel. His actions were too weird last night. Even if he wasn't the culprit, he had to know something that Clarius didn't, and that bothered Clarius. He needed to know everything about a case before he could give an accurate final conclusion, so not having it was irritating. It's the main reason why he couldn't go to sleep. Daniel was also fleeing every interview, even with the horrible excuse he had. If a person was assaulted, you work with the investigator, no matter what.

Why was he dressed? His sister forced him out of his room to help her with something.

Why was he moving things in a storage closet? His sister forced him to help her setup her Occult club. He could have honestly cared less, but she asked nicely, so he would help her.

This did mean that he couldn't ask Daniel during this time, so Clarius did the obvious thing and asked Takeshi to go for him. Takeshi was good at detective work, even if his interrogations were bad with men, if all went wrong, Takeshi could just text him.

Hopefully, Daniel would have just gotten up when Takeshi got to his door, so no real time for him to avoid the interrogation. Since Takeshi was part of the Detection Club, and he was doing his job, there was no worry for either of them being late. There was no logical reason for him to run away from this, which would allow Takeshi to extract all of the information he could get.

He also told Takeshi to text him once he had the job with all of the info, then Clarius would give him his next instructions. Clarius liked field work, but he would just have to suck it up. Complaining around Diana was a death wish.

" Diana, have you even recruited any members to this club? Or, will it just be the three of us? "

Daniel rose with a yawn and a smile. He made his way to to the bath room where he showered and brushed his teeth. Afterwards he put on a nice pair of black jeans, white dress up shirt and bow tie. He loved bow ties. Grabbing his Katana and back pack he said good morning to Weisse who had just woken up, then he walked out the door. Daniel looked around the hall and saw Shakuntala standing by Nikita's door. "Good morning sunshine!" Daniel said with a happy laugh and smile. Daniel wrapped his arms around his new friend. He let go after a while because he didn't want to make her feel uneasy. "Sorry if that was awkward. I just like hugs." Daniel laughed. "So, is Nikita home or did she already make her way to the cafeteria? If she already left we can walk together. But, I do want to go past the nurses office and see how that girl is doing." Daniel smiled waiting for Shakuntala's response.

Daniel liked Shakuntala. Not in a wanting to date kind of way, just as a friend. She was a good person and she seemed to be okay with how much Daniel talks. She was okay with that fact he carried a sword around, most people aren't okay with it.

Shakuntala looked up as Daniel said "good morning sunshine", and she thought he was clearly a morning person. She smiled, his enthusiasm was infectious. She returned his hug, shifting slightly to prevent him from poking his eye out on her bow, and smiled. Daniel was a kind person, and Shakuntala likes that. It was easy being around him, with him rambling on. She thought it was sweet and she looked to Nikita's door when he mentioned her "I stayed with her but went back to my room,l to shower and change, and was going to go to the cafeteria, but headed back here. She hasn't opened the door or replied to my knock, so I suppose we can go check on the girl" she said, hoping that she was alright

Shakuntala bit her lip, wondering. "Do you have any idea why or how she was attacked? There was nothing at the scene to indicate that..." She trailed off, looking back to Daniel, worried and just a bit fearful
