Esther returned to the world of the living when she detected movement near her, leaving the terrible maelstrom of chaotic thoughts in her mind behind. She was surprised to see the good Professor Rowan seated at her side, blinking a few times to wet her dry eyes. When Rowan whispered those comforting little words to her, Esther let out a relieved sigh and slightly leaned into her as she put her arm around her tired shoulders. Esther rubbed at her weary eyes and took a moment to straighten up her hair before burying her face in her still-gloved hands. Scoffing at first, Esther chuckled and quietly responded to her boss and yet friend.

[b]"Huh. You know me, Rowan. I can never slow down. But, I appreciate the concern."[/b]

Esther's voice betrayed just how exhausted she was to her friend. Though, as bone-tired and soul-drained as she was, it was unfair to not be considerate of her students. All of whom save for Diamond were laid up on hospital beds. Not to mention the four that weren't even allowed the luxury of breathing on this earth. Esther sighed, her shoulders sagging. Running her hands back across her hair, she lowered her head to stare at the ground. Groaning softly, she allowed herself to complain a little bit. Her head aching.

[b]"Ugh, I could really use a drink right now. Or 10. And a cigarette. Why the fuck can't we smoke on campus grounds...?"[/b]
Esther bitched privately to Rowan.
