Not That It Matters

[Drew Thornton]

{Yeah, I saw that and now I'm not sure how it's going to work, because my first inclination is...}

Drew frowned back at Reina's news. "She can't wake up?" he asked, shaking her lightly. She wasn't as heavy a sleeper as he was and a good shake usually did the trick. "I think we should take her to the Hospital wing," he told her. If she couldn't wake up, something was wrong.

[arianna]

A frown formed on Arianna's lips. A sound like a whimper escaped her. It was as though she was struggling to say something, but nothing would come. Perhaps it was good that she now lay in REM sleep, her body naturally paralized to keep her from thrashing around and hurting herself. Otherwise her poor kitten might have been dropped.

[diablo]

Reina shook her head.

"Why? You suddenly like nurses? What I mean is the girl is probably exhausted. Also it's almost time that we get in trouble for being out after curfew. Let's take her to the Commonroom, go find Prof. Raynor, and let that be the reason you were out of bed or better yet she was out waaaaay past curfew. Look we have a game coming up soon. Both houses can't afford to lose the three of us to detention, because we weren't in our dorms when we should have been."

[Drew Thornton]

"We have a legitamate reason," Drew answered, thinking Reina was suspiciously talking in circles. "And Raynor's not going to bust her if she's sick. And if she's not waking up, something is wrong. She needs the nurse."

[diablo]

Reina sighed.

"Drew, I'll play horrible if I don't get enough sleep and so would you. Can't we see if she'll wake up in her own bed. She's probably exhausted. Let the poor girl get some sleep."

[Drew Thornton]

"Fine... YOU get some sleep and I'll get Ari to the Hospital wing," Drew answered. "Or, better yet, maybe to Raynor. She was a healer for a while. I know she'd want to know about this if Ari isn't well."

[arianna]

"Wasamlitego," Arianna muttered, her frown deepening. This was the point when she would wake up from her dream. At least, that's how it usually was. This time, however, she found herself in one of those odd dreams in which you think you're awake when you really aren't. Even worse, the things that had happened in the dream were continuing in her waking dream. She tried to fight off whatever was bothering her, but her body just wouldn't move. Nor could she let loose the scream for help.

[diablo]

Reina looked at Ari with concern.

"Does she usually talk in her sleep? Let's get her to Prof. Raynor."

Reina knew that is she continued doing the responsible thing she wouldn't be held responsible.

[Drew Thornton]

"Huh! What a great idea!" Drew answered sarcastically as if he hadn't just said the very thing two seconds ago. He held out his arms, ready to pick the girl up. "Move so I can get her better."

[diablo]

Reina rolled her eyes. She had suggested such like two minutes ago. Reina quickly moved to ths side so he could pick her up. She had to admit levitating Ari wasn't much good...to the girl.

"So, where is said Prof?"

[Drew Thornton]

"Probably in her room," Drew answered, picking up the girl and making sure she still had a hold on Juniper. "Unless she's patroling halls too. But she has to go back there eventually, right?"

[diablo]

Reina looked confused for a minute til it dawned on her.

"Her room? You mean the room she shares with Prof. G that she married? You mean the room she sleeps in? You mean her personal quarters?"

Reina looked really shaken. She didn't think it was a good idea to wake the woman with a sleeping child. That woman was scary with enough Beauty sleep, Reina didn't want to make her grumpy.

[Drew Thornton]

"You have a better idea?" Drew asked, raising an eyebrow. "One that doesn't involve taking her up and just dumping her in front of Ravenclaw tower for some random person to find?"

[arianna]

{was that concern I saw from Reina? }

"Mm-mm. Way...gewway," Arianna murmured again. Her body tensed and her breath quickened. Again, she woke in her dream only to find herself caught in another. She was too afraid to go on, though. All she wanted to do was wake up and forget this nightmare. The spell, however, still would not let her go.

[diablo]

{nope none at all. }

Reina shrugged at Drew's question. That sounded like a brilliant plan to her. Then Ari would be off her hands.

"Well... no, but Prof. Raynor! Let's take her to Prof. Banks or to my HoH. He seems less evil than Raynor."
