14; action

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji's in a hurry and he has a good reason to be. But for him, it's unusual, hurrying through the halls to get to the Slytherin commonroom in the dungeons. His movements are abrupt and urgent and he looks around nervously as he goes. Unfortunately, this is around the time people are coming back from Hogsmeade, but he can't get himself to calm down in their presence.]


[Feel free to stop him in the halls or, for fellow Slytherins, talk to him once he gets to the commonroom.]

But you didn't do this maliciously! You shouldn't get...it's just, it's not right.

[eatsyourscience]

...Do intentions matter more than actions?

[akapeanut]

I-- I don't know...

[She bites her lip.]

You aren't a bad person.

[eatsyourscience]

[Souji glances away and clenches his teeth. He really has no idea what to do or even say right now.]

[akapeanut]

I won't tell anyone. But if someone asks, I have your back, okay?

[eatsyourscience]

...Thank you. [He offers a small, tired looking smile.]

[akapeanut]

Do you...want me to leave?

[eatsyourscience]

[Not really.]

You probably don't want to get caught in the male dorm.

[akapeanut]

I don't mind it.

[eatsyourscience]

[He smiles. Just a little.]

I wouldn't mind if you stayed awhile.

[akapeanut]

[George smiles back weakly.]

We could practice for class or something.

[eatsyourscience]

Yeah. [He takes a deep breath and nods.] Yeah, let's do that.
