Silas stood alone in the common room, notice clutched in one hand. Looking it over reminded him of all that had happened last night. Meeting Vera, the seniors at the crossroads, the encounter with Felix. It was hard for him to believe that all of last night's chaos had happened so quickly, it felt like Silas had spent an eternity in that ominous forest!

The turning of a doorknob drew Silas's attention away from the sheet of paper and towards the other side of the room. The scent of... oranges? struck him before he even saw his roommate. The smell was very nice... but it also certainly served to remind him of his current hunger. He watched as the source of the sweet aroma, Vera, emerged from her side of the dorm. She looked... beautiful to put it simply, her appearance leaving Silas stunned. He looked away quickly as he noticed that he'd been staring for a couple of seconds. [color=8493ca][i]Don't stare at her you idiot! What are you doing?![/i][/color] By the time his conscience had quit yelling at him, Vera was already talking about where they could go. 

"Hmm, how about we check out the city area near the academy? We could probably find someplace for lunch out there. I'd love to try the tram system too, that'll be fun."

[color=8493ca]"The tram?"[/color] He asked, quite confused. [color=8493ca] "I'm... not sure why you'd want to do that, but okay"[/color]

"How about it? It'll even be my treat, a little 'thank you' for helping me along last night."

Her excitement was infectious, Silas couldn't help but be just as happy as they made their way out of the dorm. However the mention of last night stirred something in him. Just as they had left their room, he stopped Vera for a moment. 

[color=8493ca]"It sound's great to me! but... since you mentioned it..."[/color]

His expression shifting to a slight grimace as he prepared to speak.

[color=8493ca]"About yesterday... there's something I need to say"[/color]

Seemingly uneasy, Silas shot a glance down the hallway to make certain that nobody else would overhear their conversation.

[color=8493ca]"I wanted to say... thank you. Thank you... for what you did yesterday. If you didn't say anything when we ran into Felix... I might've... I might've done something really, REALLY drastic. So... Thank you, Vera."[/color]

Every word was delivered with reluctance, he hated that he was admitting this. Yet he knew it was true, that he probably would've done something... stupid if she hadn't been there. Silas let out a small laugh as the unease faded, before looking back to Vera and speaking up again.

[color=8493ca]"Sorry about being so... depressing. I just... needed to say that."[/color]
