His father had hung up. Edric had no doubt in his mind that he'd immediately make his way to Athalia. If he really tried, he could make it up in a matter of hours. Coincidentally, Edric had been scouring the school for an hour or two.
"Jason?" He said, poking his head into an empty storage closet.
He had sprinted back into the ballroom. A quick scan led him to believe that his father wasn't there. He figured a drunken adult stumbling into the ballroom and yelling for his wife would create more of a scene. He ran to the dorms.
"Jason!" He yelled, running through dorm halls. Speaking of, where the hell was his room? He was fairly sure he'd been given a key. He shook that thought aside. Finally, he skidded to a halt outside a door that was ajar.
"...wearing shades?".
Edric cocked an eyebrow. That was his father's voice, but he could not think of a feasible reason for Jason Karst to be inquiring about someone's sunglasses while on a drunken search for his wife.
"Maybe he's sober.
Fat chance of that, Eddy.
He sighed. Azamor had a point. He took a deep breath and walked into the room. There was his father, as well as a girl with snakes in her hair.
Uh...
She's a gorgon.
Thank you, Aza. Knowing why the girl has snakes in her hair completely alleviates the strangeness of this situation.
Sarcasm? Wonderful, I really am a bad influence.
Edric shook his head. He walked over to his father, tapping him on the shoulder.
"Dad. Dad, her name is Lily now. You dropped the phone before I could tell you." He took a shaky breath, steeling himself for Jason's reaction. "She's suffering from some sort of amnesia. She doesn't remember us." He didn't have the heart to tell him that she also seemed romantically involved with a Skylark. That would certainly be an interesting conversation, but it would probably be best saved for later. He turned to the gorgon, mouthing the words I'm sorry.
