Lysander watched Vesper close the blinds and sit down as the Headmaster departed. He chuckled silently to himself: he had killed men, won battles, and conquered empires, but he had never been alone in a room with a woman, let alone in a bedroom. He sighed and laid back on the nearest mattress. The furnishings were mediocre, but lavish compared to the military cots that he was used to on the nights he didn't sleep under the stars."I'll be fine." Lysander said, looking at Nyx with mild curiosity. "I just have to lay low and work out a contingency plan. None of this is your fault. In fact, thank you. You saved my life back there."

[i]"It's no problem... We should probably get some sleep though, I suppose. I'm thinking tomorrow will be a big day..."[/i] Vesper said quietly, almost whispering. She looked at Lysander gently again for a brief moment before resting her gaze on Nyx, who was now cleaning the blood from her talons. Vesper sighed softly, suddenly feeling home sick. She reached over and ran her fingers through Nyx's feathers softly before shifting to lay down on the firm mattress. After pulling the blankets up over her shoulders, she stared at the blank wall in silence, her mind wandering to what tomorrow might bring. She chewed her lip a bit before turning over to face Lysander and Nyx, quickly falling into the blackness of a deep slumber.
