Duncan also declined the healing potion. [color=6795ea]"I only got punched in the stomach once, and it winded me. I'm not actually hurt anywhere,"[/color] he explained, before standing back and listening to Circe and Roland, raising his eyebrow. He didn't actually suspect that they were planning anything to do with the attack. For one, he didn't know that Circe had any interest in it. He also didn't think that Roland would actually go out alone or in a small party of first years looking for life-threatening danger against the will of the teachers. In that situation, Duncan didn't know who he'd be more afraid of; the monster or the teachers!

What Duncan did know about Roland was that he thought Circe was cute. [color=6795ea]"I'll leave you two alone,"[/color] he said, his tone making his meaning clear, before walking away from them. He looked back to Sonia, who was at this point surrounded by teachers. No matter. They could be introduced later. He sat down at an empty table besides one other person, which was good, s the centaur practically took up two seats in his efforts to stop his horse end blocking the space between tables.

After finishing his meal, he looked up at the other occupant of his table. [color=6795ea]"Hey,"[/color] he greeted. [color=6795ea]"What's up?"[/color]

After collecting her own food, at the cafeteria, Mako was about to sit down with the other teachers. Other people of note sitting with them included the spider girl, and the subpar human boy, both from her class. The human boy appeared to be twitching, however, and this time he could clearly sense something about him, like a fire burning him from the inside out. Interesting.

The Witch sat besides the twitching boy, and smiled. [color=d1aaf7]"Potions aren't for everyone,"[/color] she consoled in a soothing, almost motherly voice. [color=d1aaf7]"I noticed that you struggled in class today. Don't worry. You'll probably do a lot better with the rituals and incantations. I've yet to ever meet a student who was bad at all three."[/color]

After his next twitch, she let a beat of silence pass, then leaned closer, concerned. [color=d1aaf7]"Are you aright? You look uncomfortable. Would you like me to take you to the nurse's office?"[/color]
