Kanra Kida's Story

~Day Class Begins~

Angel's POV
Today is the first day Aurora Academy will be holding classes, so the disciplinary committee are to report to the front of the school to see that all the students get to their dorms and to make sure no one gets out of line. The headmaster informed them the day before that they were to be ready bright and early, and it was definitely early.. The sun was just barely peeking over the horizon and Angel's alarm clock was going off. "Oh no.. It can't be time to go to work already.." She groaned and hesitantly propped herself up on one arm. "I don't understand what the students even need us for.. what could possibly happen?" She sighed and slumped out of bed, then dragged her feet over to the closet and pulled out her uniform, pausing to look out the window at the sun coming up, she couldn't help but wonder if the vampire students would be in a bad mood due to having to be out so early. "What am I thinking? Even I'm in a bad mood this early in the morning, but it's not like I'd start anything." She chuckled and started getting dressed.

Kanra's POV
Class wouldn't be beginning for the night class students for a while, however, the vampires still had to sign in and get to their dorms along with all the other students at 6 AM, which Kanra didn't really mind, he was looking forward to being around humans, to breathe in their smell. Ah, the first day of school, how exciting." He yawned and started the shower. "Today is going to be truly perfect." As the water hit his face, and rolled down his body he thought of all the different people he'd meet, all the different smells, the different blood types, the different tastes.. he bit into his hand letting the blood flow down his fingertips and dissolve with the water. "Calm yourself Kanra, you must not feed unless they offer it to you.." he mentally talked himself out of any stupid ideas, and gained his composure.

Angel's POV
As Angel approached the front of the academy she could see Drake standing there with that sour look on his face again. She let out a slight sigh "Do you have to be so loud this early in the morning? I could hear you yelling from my room." She walked up to him slowly, still half asleep and far too tired to put any real effort into scolding him.

Instead she leaned back against one of the pillars that supported the entrance of the academy and pulled out a pack of chocolate candies, she plopped one in her mouth then glanced at him. "I was nice enough to get you something too when I stopped by the snack machine." reaching in her other pocket, she pulled out a bag of skittles. "But I guess, if you're going to be mean all day I'll just hold onto them." Angel smirked and slid the skittles back into her pocket, then continued eating her chocolate candies.

Kanra's POV
Kanra turned the shower knob, making the water come to a stop, he then stepped out, dried off, and put on his uniform. He took a moment to kneel down and pet his cat Kirimi. "You are such a good girl, I'll bring you home a treat after I sign in." After giving his cat a bit of attention he stepped outside, wincing a bit at the sun bearing down on him.

Kanra began walking down the long path to the main office, where he could sign in and receive his class schedule. During his morning stroll he kept getting distracted by the thought of humans. "Such beautiful creatures.. what a shame they are so fragile."

Catherine had never been so nervous as she had been the moment she awoke this morning. Well, at least not over something so... mundane, for lack of a better word. It wasn't staying up at night watching a match burn between your fingers, it wasn't looking for odd jobs, it wasn't looking behind you for tell-tale signs of fangs, and it definitely wasn't burning buildings down only to escape with your life. It was... it was joining school... school. She'd had to teach herself everything for as long as she could remember, now she'd have someone teaching it to her alongside others with pencils, boards, assignments and boring old text books. The young woman was so excited she couldn't wait, but also so nervous she laid awake a full hour before her alarm began ringing in order to psych herself into getting ready for the day. Today... today could be the best and worst day of her life all at the same time. Catherine had completely, terrifyingly, absolutely no idea what could happen to her with this sudden change of events. And she relished and despised every minute as she stepped from her door, refreshed, ready, and prepaired as she'd ever be for whatever might be coming her way. She even wore the uniform... with the skirt... and she hated skirts... she was smiling as she willingly wore a skirt.

"Well... I suppose I'm ready for this... yeah, let's get going."

Her hair was still somewhat damp, giving a sense of something akin to rain and it made her smile as she headed for the front office to recieve her class schedule. She loved rain, enjoyed it, often danced under it and just laughed when she could. Thunder intrigued her, lighting drew her, and the rain bound her in her place when she got to it. She never ran and hid from it, never complained about her clothes getting wet, and continuously commented on the scent it left afterwards. 'Petrichor,' she thought, 'what an odd word for it.'

Despite her thoughts distracting her, she made it to the office without distraction and paused somewhat of a distance away from it. Others stood there, those of the something-or-other commitee. That wasn't what stopped her there, though, what stopped her was a tugging feeling in her gut she got when she took the whole group into her view. It could be any one of them, any single one or all of them that gave her that odd feeling. The pause was short-lived though, easily mistaken for an interruptive thought if not analyzed to every detail such as her quick visual scan of each person there. It ended as quickly as it began, and she was once again approaching the process of recieving her schedule. Meanwhile, she looked around a bit warily to the other people around her, the 'disciplinary commitee' now that she remembered, and she tried to be at least somewhat friendly towards the strangers.

"It must suck having to be up this early for a job, huh?"

---

Killian was having a great morning so far, a great, relaxing morning in full. He'd awoken at an oddly early time, sure, but he was comfortable with it since it meant recieving his schedule earlier and without maximum crowding. And once he got what he needed he'd be able to take a nap before the day actually started up and more students awoke. This could be a good start for the school year. Killian had taken a shower before he went to bed, not wanting to have to take one just after waking and risk accidentally killing himself. If he became a ghost he'd be naked for the rest of his undead life, odd to think of indeed but really, who would want that?

Leaving his dorm, he carried himself with his usual relaxed manner, his eyes somewhat hooded and a lazy smile on his lips. All was well as he made his way to the office, even with the sun coming up to glare down on everything below it. He entered and gave warm smiles and nodded greetings to those already there, waiting behind a pale-haired girl already getting her schedule. His head was tilted downward in thought and his gaze wandered off, his mind going with it as he simply stood and waited.

Angel's Pov

Angel couldn't help but chuckle softly at Drake's sudden change in attitude, she reached into her uniform and pulled out the pack of skittles. "Here, take em'" she said with a smile as she threw the pack at him playfully. Angel then proceeded to take out her cell phone and look at the time."Oh man.. you know what's even worse than this?"

She groaned and pulled herself away from the pillar she was propped up against. "It's about time to head to class.." She took notice of the other students all making their way to the office and picking up their schedules, she was also relieved to see that the other members of the disciplinary committee were there to help. She grinned and waved at them, hoping there arrival meant she could sneak away for a quick nap.

Kanra's Pov

Kanra finally made it to the front of the academy where a few members of the disciplinary committee were gathered. He took a few steps closer to Drake and Angel, pausing to take in their scent. Good morning disciplinary committee." He grinned as he spoke to them, his voice was soft and laced with malicious intentions.

Kanra liked pushing the boundaries of what he could get away with, although he was simply giving a 'good morning' his tone of voice suggested he felt like pushing Drake's buttons, having heard him yelling from down at the night class dormitory, he realized Drake must be quick to anger, which would be fun for Kanra.

Catherine took somewhat slow steps as she looked over her own schedule and went to go outside, though she knew she'd have to come back in for classes at some point. She just needed some fresh air to calm her nerves that had began to buzz. School... school. Again, she was so ready for it yet so not. Her eyes scanned the piece of paper, committing everything to memory as her free hand subconsciously tugged at the bottom of her skirt. She didn't know if it'd be an option, but she'd have to try to get a longer skirt. Her utter spite for skirts was bad enough, the uniform just had to have a short one. It bugged her so much to the point that it took her attention from the paper as she stepped outside and leaned against the outside wall of the building, noticing the others there.

A soft sigh left her lips and she leaned her head back against the building with her eyes closed. After a few minutes of her own silent she rolled her shoulders and looked up to the strangers within the same area, inspecting them more out of habit than of interest. After a moment of silence and with a tilt of her head as she ignored a strong tugging in her gut when she looked to the night class student, she simply closed her eyes and leaned her head back again. Catherine breathed in the fresh air, content with it yet wishing it would rain or do something to rid her of this infernal sunlight warming the air.

---

Killian hadn't takne much time between recieving his needed information and heading off for his room his class was to be in. He'd just nap there until class really started, then he'd probably zone out at something. He found it wasn't really something he could control... not that he'd really tried too often. He just didn't see why he should kepe it under control. He usually heard everything he needed of each lesson and did his homework, even if there were times he missed a few important parts due to his wandering mind. He was comfortable with it though, as it always turned out for the best as he saw it.

He'd never been much of a worry-wart, and he was sure that wouldn't change today. So, with a content smile and some stretching, he continued onward with high hopes for today, the first day of this new school.

Ame's POV

As Ame waited patiently for her sister, she heard a faint call from down the hall. "Hey! Ame-chi! Over here!" Ame spotted her best friend Akira running towards her. And after a minor greeting and hug, Akira almost kicked the door down. "Sera! Hurry up! I'm hungry and want to get some food!" Finally they hear the voice of her older sister. "You two could've gone without me." Sera walked past them. "Are you coming then?" The two follow Sera as they approached the office to get their schedule. Ame held her sisters hand tightly, slightly nervous, with Emi in her other hand. Ame wasn't always good around lots of people. She hid behind her sister's back as they entered.

"Onee-chan... scared.." Ame shrinked into Sera's back, scared for her life. Akira looked over and gave her a reassuring smile to cheer her up. She noticed a commitee member with blazing red hair walk over to them. Telling by the uniform, he was a vampire. Ame looked from behind her sister's back, staring intently at the boy's beautiful red hair.

---

Akira's POV

"You could've gone without me." Sera slowly opened her room door. Akira chuckled nervously. He hadn't thought about that possibility. They began to head down to the office, and he saw a red-headed vampire commitee member come over to the three of them. Akira smiled at Ame, to make her a little less nervous. He grinned as she stared at the boy's hair. Slightly poking Sera, he pointed towards Ame, who wouldn't take her eyes off the big red blob on this student's head. 'Ames gotta crush~' he sing-songed in his head.

He chuckled lightly, trying to hold in his laughter. But he just couldn't keep it in, and so Akira fell to the ground rolling around laughing so hard his chest hurt. Other students looked at him like he was crazy. "Oh god! I can't stop laughing... BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!" Now he needed somebody to calm him the heck down...

Sera's Pov
Sera smiled down at her sister as she took hold of her hand, trying to hide herself from other view. "Don't worry no one will hurt you" She told her with a smile trying to reassure her sister. 'Not on my watch anyway She thought bitterly.

After a short walk towards the academy they finally arrived at the entrance, there seemed to be a lot of students there waiting to receive their schedules and room assignments. Fortunately the Night class students shared the same schedule so they basically knew what classes they were taking it was only the dorm rooms that needed assigning, not like she would share a room with anyone. She would go mental if she were to share a room. And none would argue with her.

Sera's thoughts were interrupted by the sound of hysterical laughter and it sounded like it was coming from Akira, she couldn't help but tilt her head in annoyance at the lack of control he had. "Compose yourself" She told him with irritation. Sera looked back towards her sister to notice her starring intently at a boy with fiery red hair.
Causing her to smirk. Scanning her eyes across the entrance, noticing there weren't as many night class students as she expected, but it seemed the Disciplinary committee had everything under control though.

Drake's Pov
Drake caught the skittles with a smile on his face, immediately opening the packet and tucking in. "This is why you're my best friend" He continued smiling. Anyone that knew Drake knew he was a massive fan of food especially sweets, mainly skittles to be exact, probably being a massive weakness of his.

"You know I rather not attend class" He spoke with a sigh, just the thought of going to class after being up at the crack of dawn did not interest him in the slightest. "If I fall asleep, you cover me got it?" He told Angel with a serious voice.

The sound of Blair's voice directing the students mainly the Night student irritated him, he didn't particularly care for the Night class students, nor did he agree with them attending the Academy. But no matter how many times he's discussed it with the headmaster, it was never listened to, so he had no choice but to do his job. Unfortunately.

He was about to make his way towards class, but three people caught his attention. Three vampires to be specific. Two female's and one male. The two girls looked quite similar both with long silver hair and red eyes, one looked slightly older than other but they were most likely siblings. The male had blonde hair and red eyes. But he knew who they were without them even introducing themselves.

Looking towards the other committee members he couldn't help but be annoyed. "The Tenshi is here" He grumbled.

Angel blinked at Drake a few times, making sure she heard him correctly, then she leaned her head against the wall with a sigh. "Me? Cover for you?" she paused before busting out laughing. "You must be joking, no way, I was gonna ask you to cover for me." She smiled sweetly at him, as if begging with her eyes, then with a sudden change of personality she motioned to the bag of skittles in his hand. "I did after all, do you a favor." she said menacingly, as if she was bribing him with the delicious candies.

She gave a wink and then pulled her schedule out, glancing over it half-heartedly. "I'm just messin' we'll both go. Right? Headmaster put a lot of faith into us, the least we can do is show up for class." she grabbed his arm with little effort and began dragging him slowly and hesitantly to class.




Kanra wouldn't have class for a while, which meant he would be stuck in his dorm with the rest of Night Class for the day. That seemed boring, a room full of vampires wasn't exactly his cup of tea, now a room full of humans? that was a different story entirely.
He contemplated sneaking into day class, pausing in front of the day class school hall. "Let's see just how much I can get away with."

He managed to sneak past the day class disciplinary committee, who were discussing candied treats, or some sort of nonsense. His uniform was obviously white instead of the day classes black color, but he didn't care, he liked getting in trouble, he found punishment to be fun, especially if it was painful.

And with the attitude purebloods are known to have, his punishment would indeed involve pain. "It's not like I want a bite.. I just want to smell them." he told himself as he walked into the day class classroom and took a seat near the back.

Sakio decided she did not like the white haired boy. He hadn't really done anything to her to deserve the dislike, but something about the way he talked just... didn't sit right with her. She wasn't sure how much she liked the Day Class student either, but at least she seemed normal. He turned to her, and introduced himself as Kanra, going as far to bow to her. She raised an eyebrow at the overly formal action but didn't say anything back. After all, he hadn't done anything to make her want to give her name.

"Perhaps I'm in the wrong place after all, would you like to escort me to the right place?"

Sakio scowled at him, but slowly stood, not breaking eye contact with him. She didn't like his smirk, and something about the way he asked made it sound more like a challenge than anything else. "Okay, I'll escort you back. After all, what kind of person would I be if I just left the poor clueless student on his own?" Though she had just offered to help him back, she was still scowling at him, only breaking eye contact to walk toward the door to the hallway. In all honesty, she just felt him being here as wrong. She paused for a moment to glance at him. "You comin', Night Class?"

Kanra directed his gaze back in front of him, returning his attention to the now very tense young lady sitting in her desk. "Oh, I'm sure you will be seeing me, lovely." he grinned, once again making very direct eye contact. "You attract trouble remember?" and with those words he began slowly walking to the door, stopping closely behind the raven haired girl.

He leaned past her to grab the door knob and open it, then held out his hand. "After you miss." he said politely. All the while several fun scenarios were playing out in his head.
He had a human girl, walking him back to his room, where he could invite her in, offer her a drink... and maybe she could offer him a drink as well. He snickered quietly to himself, his inner thoughts amusing him.
Then another fun scenario popped into his twisted mind. He imagined being caught by one of the disciplinary committee members and being 'punished' or even, being caught by a pureblood. He couldn't keep the smug grin off his face, the thoughts were far too pleasing to him.
A human punishing him was more of a hilarious thought, one he'd play along with though if it came to that. A pureblood punishing him however, now that would be painful.. which would make it all the more exciting.

Drake
Drake couldn't help but sigh in annoyance. He wanted to take a nap instead of attending a class but so did Angel. So It looked like they both had to attend class. Maybe no one will notice if they snuck out... Drake was so busy thinking to himself he hadn't even realized that Angel was dragging him to the classroom. It wasn't until he actually made it into the class did he realize where he was.
"I really need to stop spacing out" He mumbled as he took a seat at a desk beside Angel.
"Oh! Don't forget the headmaster wants us to pop by his office later to discuss some things.." He said as he turned the pages in his text book.

Sera
Was rather bored, standing at the entrance of the Academy. One of the students had all ready handed her schedule so there was no need for her to wait around with the other Nigh class students anymore. And since she was all ready up, she didn't feel like going back to bed. Since she had some stuff do anyway. But she needed to head back to the Night class dorms before she went to the headmasters office.

"I've got a few errands to run. Akira, look after Ame whilst i'm gone." She spoke with her usual monotone voice. Without waiting for a reply she left, making her way to her respected dorms. On the way over she spotted a familiar white haired male vampire as well as a darker hair human who she didn't exactly recognize. Speeding up slightly as she made her way over towards them, appearing infront of the pair rather quickly. "Kanra, shouldn't you be in your dorm by now?" She questioned him specifically. Sera knew Kanra rather well, as well as knowing what the fellow vampire was like so she couldn't help but be suspicious about him.
Diverting her gaze towards the dark haired human, her red eyes appearing stern and emotionless. "Shouldn't you be in class? Day class student?" She questioned the girl.

Sakio walked out the door being held open for her, not buying the "gentleman" act for a second. The only time she was polite was when she wanted something. But she couldn't imagine what he would want, so she chose to ignore that fact and simply continued walking him to his dorms. She was planning to take him to the gate, but not go inside. Not really because it was against the rules, but because the one time she got even close to the entrance of their dorms she felt... odd. Like she had a sudden impulse to run the other way. Which was very out of character for her, so she'd been weary of the place since.

"I don't like that smile. Why do you keep smiling like that?" she finally asked, breaking the silence. He hadn't been speaking but had looked like he was in deep thought, and then suddenly started smiling. Sakio couldn't really place the smile, but she didn't exactly find it comforting. After a moment she realized he kind of looked cute smiling like that. If it weren't for the fact he was kind of creeping her out.

While waiting for an answer some girl literally cut them off. Like, she practically jumped in front of them. She had this kind of stuck up air about her that immediately pissed Sakio off, but she had to admit there was something about her that demanded authority. Didn't mean Sakio was going to buy into it, but it was there.

"Kanra, shouldn't you be in your dorm by now?" Sakio was going to speak up about how the idiot was in her class room, but the girl wasn't even paying attention to her. So she just folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. This lady wasn't from the disciplinary committee, what the hell did she want?
When she finally looked at Sakio, something in her changed. "Shouldn't you be in class? Day class student?" And Sakio laughed. Actually, outright laughed. She couldn't help it, was this person for real?

"Yes, and I would be, Night Class student, if it weren't for the fact Kanra here decided to pop into my class to hang out. I thought he was lost so I was helping him to his dorm."

Kanra stepped in front of Sakio protectively out of instinct. From what he had witnessed so far, she had a bit of a mouth on her and he definitely did not want her mouthing off to Sera.
"Please forgive us Lady Sera, this kind young girl was just escorting me to my dorm.. I seemed to have gotten lost." He kneeled before her, looking up to meet her eyes, his were that soft baby blue with sorrow in them. Kanra was good at looking genuinely sorry when he needed to, and his many years on this Earth have taught him everything about being a perfect gentleman which helped him talk his way out of most situations.

He stood up and turned to the day class girl, giving her one more smile. "Oh, and I smile because you are lovely." he said softly, honestly feeling saddened that he didn't get more time with her.
She may have acted tough, but Kanra felt a softness from her.



Angel already had her head down on the desk, and her textbook pushed to the side. It had been less than five minutes since she and Drake stepped foot in the classroom and she was already fed up with the whole thing.
When she heard him speak she picked her head up, blinking at him for a few minutes, her eyes heavy. "Oh yeah.. I wonder what he wants." As the teacher walked in she opened her book, and pretended to be studying for today's lesson.

Blair watched seeing Tak becoming clearly awkward whilst trying to be friendly to the pureblood girl. She smirked a little, being slightly amused by the event. Shortly after the Ame was left in the hands of the blonde, Akira. Blair had slightly doubted the males responsibility but as the pureblood had trusted him he must be… well alright to trust. Though Ame was a pureblood, albeit a little shy, so she must be able to take care of herself, right?

Tak smiled, well it wasn’t exactly a smile, he still appeared to be somewhat awkward about the situation. He obviously needed an escape plan because he quickly looked back to Blair. "Get them their schedules and stuff, yeah?”

“Yeah, right,” she said looking back, quickly wiping the smirk off her face. She turned, heading back inside, catching sight of the older pureblood, Seraphina, as she walked past the dorm. She was seeming to be scolding a white haired vampire that Blair knew all too well, and of course there was a human involved, there always was with him.

“Kanra,” she muttered under her breath. She had to say, the vampire hadn’t actually ever done anything wrong, he just… Got too close to humans for Blair’s liking. She had always been suspicious because of this, always thinking he was going to be breaking the rules, though he seemed to be very obedient to what the Purebloods asked.

Now it dawned on her that Sera was doing her job. Blair felt a stab of annoyance and her face formed into a slight frown but she quickly snapped out of it. She was doing Blair’s job, therefore that meant she had less to concern herself with. With a small shake of her head she picked up the pace a little, glancing over her shoulder at Tak before walking into the front office.

The dorm rooms and schedules were in a sort of folder, she pulled them out, handed half to Tak, and took the other half herself. Which ended being very few small piles. They couldn’t even be called a pile as there only seemed to be several sheets in each.
“Right then,” she muttered, more to herself, most of the vampires where (hopefully) in the dorm so there would be no need to go looking for them.

Sera

Sera couldn't help but stand in front of the pair with no emotion laced on her face, It wasn't that she didn't want to show her emotions, she was just taught not too. But it was safe to say this Day class girl surprised her. She hadn't exactly expected that reaction from her, normally the humans were afraid of her or showed nothing but respect for Sera. But this girl stood up for herself. She was a gobby one at that. And for some reason Sera liked it.

This caused her to smirk slightly. She was about to speak, but Kanra suddenly knelt down in front of her. He began to apologize for his actions, though she wasn't entirely sure if he was being completely genuine or not. Either way she would find out later, and more than likely have words with him later.

"It better not happen again, and next time you get lost" She chuckled slightly "It may be your last" She whispered the last part.

Turning towards the dark haired girl, a smirk still etched onto her face. Her eyes reflecting amusment. " What's your name?" She questioned her with genuine curiosity.

Drake
Drake couldn't help but sigh as the lecture began. Turning to Angel to respond to her previous question. " I have no idea what the headmaster wants" He muttered, quickly looking back towards the teacher before he caught them chatting. "But knowing him it will probably involve some extra work for us." He grumbled.

As many could tell Drake wasn't the biggest fan of being part of the Disciplinary committee, don't get him wrong it had it's perks but it just meant extra work for them, and it was time that could be better spent sleeping, eating or watching films.

Before Sakio could get much of a reply from the random girl in front of them, Kanra was stepping in front of her and apologizing. And then proceeded to kneel. Kneel. Sakio would have laughed but she was too busy feeling shocked. There were manners, and then there was crazy. Was Kanra on the crazy list? But 'Lady Sera' (as the white haired boy had called her), didn't seem surprised by the action in the least. So Sakio decided to just go with it and pretend these people didn't weird her out.

"I smile because you are lovely," was the quiet compliment that Kanra gave her after getting scolded by Sera. Sakio raised an eyebrow at the boy, not really sure how to respond to that. She was glad she wasn't the easily embarrassed type too, otherwise she'd probably blush. Before she could even begin to reply her attention was drawn back to Sera, who was smiling. Actually, it was more like a smirk. And she looked like she was genuinely enjoying herself. For some reason.

" What's your name?" Sakio stared, kind of confused. That's all she wanted?

"Sakio." Her reply was short if not a bit cold, but that was more because she didn't like the amusement playing on Sera's face than anything else. If she didn't know better, she'd say the girl found her funny. And Sakio wasn't really all that "funny", to say the least. She'd tried to joke around before, but it usually ended badly. So she just stopped.

"Right, well. I'm gonna go now. To class, I mean. SO, yeah... you two have a nice day," Sakio said while taking a few steps back. She wasn't completely sure why she had the sudden urge to get out of there, but she did. It wasn't exactly a scared feeling. More like she felt out of place. She was the only one in the area wearing a Day Class uniform after all, so the feeling was justified to say the least. "Bye," she added, looking over at Kanra before turning around and walking back to class.

After letting Blair take over handing out schedules, Tak decided to go back to zoning out. He was doing that a lot more recently. Maybe it was the weather. Most of the students had gotten their schedules and either headed to class or to their dorms at this point. And for Tak, heading to his dorm sounded wonderful. He hadn't felt tired when he first set out to do the stupid disciplinary committee stuff, but now he was exhausted. He hadn't even done anything. Just the few moments of human (well, sort of human) interaction was enough to make him want to crawl into bed to sleep and never wake up. Or maybe write something. That was fun too sometimes.

Suddenly Tak found himself yawning, something he didn't do often. He was lazy, not in a way that made him tired all the time when he was awake but in a way where he just generally slept and relaxed more. So, when he was actually up he was less tired than other people. Sort of.

"Blair, I'm heading to the dorms," Tak mumbled, actually rubbing his eyes like a little kid. "I'm tired. You probably don't have to stay. Anyone who hasn't shown up yet deserves to be lost."
