Jace, without having realized it, had fallen asleep on the lounge. Thoughts of the day swirled around in his head, images of fighting, magic, lots and lots of blood and most of all, demons. Images of imps and blobs made their way around and around, ducking in and out of his sight. He tossed and turned a little before the image of a demon threw itself right at him. In a moment of panic he flayed wildly, falling off the lounge to a rather loud thud and startling his wolves. They didn’t get down from the lounge, but they did glance down at him before going back to their rest. His hawk however was not as forgiving. As he realized he was lying face down on the ground, Aiah lightly nipped his nose, disgruntled from being awoken. Jace let out a sigh as he sat up and rubbed his head, glancing around the room. It seems in the time that he had gone to sleep, considerably more people had arrived. He could name a few of them, but he wasn’t the most social person so most of them were simply familiar faces. He stood up and dusted himself off before sitting down calmly on the lounge. He kept a straight face, but on the inside, his brain was literally kicking itself for falling asleep like that.

‘Why did there have to be so many people?’ he thought as he sunk into the lounge. It was at that moment that his stomach let out a loud grumbling sound. His embarrassment was immediately replaced with the realization that he hadn’t eaten anything except that god awful since that morning. Being a survivalist he wasn’t picky with his food, so he reached into his bag at his waist and pulled out a small bread roll biting into it with vigor. He was used to plain meals, when he used to live in the mountains he would camp out for a few days at a time, so he always had a small surplus of food. He wasn’t picky with food, but he did like the dinners at the school. He swallowed the mouthful before breaking a little bit off and giving it to the little hawk that had hopped its way back up onto his chest. After glancing around at the room for a while, not having any idea what was going on after sleeping through all the conversation, he decided he would add his two cents.

“So today was a crazy day, huh?” He said with a smile to no one in particular. He took another bite of his bread as he rested his bandaged hand on the pair of wolves, admiring how the heat from their fur seemed to make the pain fade.
