[From here]
The doors of the library were opened by the blue-haired Ellie to let Eva and Emily through, away from the arguing Mia and Mister I.

{carried on from here}Eva was trying her best to sooth Emily, though without much to go on and the younger super not speaking there was only so much she could say. She gave Ellie a helpless look before nodding further down the hall, to a door leading outside and to the quad. Her eyebrow arched in a way that could only be questioning.

Though not particularly socially well versed, Ellie did question the wisdom of bringing a weeping Emily through more of the school, and noticing the nearby toilets raised an eyebrow back to Eva as if to ask "Perhaps she should grab a tissue in there and compose herself?"

After a seeming eternity of silent sobbing and gazing into the middle distance through unseeing eyes, Emily finally snaps back into reality. Even as she draws them under control, her sobs mutate into violent hiccups, adding a rather surreal edge to her woes. The veritable menagerie of birds watch on intently as Emily begins to speak, in a halting, hiccup-riddled squeak.
"I. Um. I. Thank you. I was in the music room. Um. You guys were there as well. I think. It was noisy, and confusing. So. You know. I left. And then, well, I was outside. There was smoke. And Mrs Moon. And I was supposed to take notes in my notebook because of the smoke and Mrs Moon wanted me to take notes in my notebook because of the smoke and I didn't have my notebook and Mrs Moon was disappointed in me but Mrs Moon isn't my supervisor and has nothing to do with the Hall Monitors and so I left but she told me not to walk away and then I panicked and ran off but she told me not to walk away so now she's going to be really mad and and and andisawDANIELandhedidntevenlookatme."
The sentence accelerates and accelerates, becoming nearly unintelligible as Emily draws to a close. Even as she finishes speaking, she bursts into sobs once more, burying her face in her hands.

Eva was almost amazed at the turn around in the girl, going from wordless sobbing to rambling mess and back to the sobbing in a minuet flat. Unfortunately, this wasn't all that unusual. It doesn't take long for the familiar motions to kick in, Eva's hand coming down onto Emily's back, rubbing in slow circles trying to help sooth the hiccups away.
"Okay. So let me get this straight? You've lost your Hall Monitor note book so you couldn't note down that someone was smoking? Mrs Moon was disappointed at you for that and got angry because you tried to walk away?" She waited for nodded confirmation before moving on. "Well first off, if Mrs Moon was there she should have already noted down who it was and handed out the suitable disciplinary. We can swing by your supervisor and explain the situation - get you a new note book and everything okay?"
Eva was very pointedly ignoring the last jumbled bit of the females outburst. Even if she could perfectly understand speech of any speed or language, she could pretend she hadn't understood it. She did not want to talk about Daniel. Again.

"Emily, I don't suppose your notebook was in the pile of books you left in the music room?" Ellie asked, recalling the sudden disappearance of the girl earlier and the distinct lack of sudden disappearance of the pile of books she'd arrived in the room with.

Emily rapidly calms down at Eva's soothing tones. Her vibrant little face brightens, and the sobs and hiccups start to wrinkle her nose on a less regular basis. She nods almost happily at Eva's suggestions, and then gets quite excited at Ellie's question.
"Um. Yes. Thank You. Sorry. I. Um. Mrs Moon should. Yes. Oh, yes, in the music room!"
The robin flits back up to nestle in Emily's hair, and the other birds begin to depart. The boreal owl leaves a trail of devastation in its wake as it swoops through a nearby window.

Eva watches the owl with a raised eyebrow. She would call a number of other bird to pick up the mess but the glass shards are sharp and she would never put the poor things at immediate risk of cutting themselves like that. Besides, the school had cleaners for that kind of thing, right? She gives Emily one more rub on the back before pulling away with a smile.
"There, see? Knew it wasn't the end of the world."

"Shall I run and get the books if you two want to head over to the quad?" Ellie asks, figuring given the scale of the pile earlier it might be easier than asking Emily to try and shift them all again.

Emily is positively jubilant at the prospect of actually having company as she goes somewhere. If it weren't for her bleary eyes and occasional hiccup, she would look as happy as it is possible for a person to be. She speaks with a bouncy edge to her words, and the robin chirps along encouragingly.
"Thank you so much again! Erm, I was taking most of the books to the library. Are they still in the music room? I'm not actually sure where either is, or really where I am, to be honest."

Ellie, deciding that maybe Eva who knows Emily better might have a clue as to this teleportation conundrum elects to run and get the books herself. "Back in a tick," she smiles, and heads off down the corridor back toward the music room. [Ellie moves to lunch room] |

Relieved to see Emily slowly returning to her smiling, warm self, Eva pulled away and leaned against the wall of the hall. She could see the sudden burst of water outside the window and didn't want to risk getting caught in a storm. "You seem to be a bit disorientated, Emily. Is everything okay?" She asked, concern peaking her voice as she scanned the girl over, looking for anything that might be out of place. {Continued here with a bit of a time wibble skip thing - sorry Sylvan...} |

{Continued from the Quad}It was still a little strange to Eva, seeing the school's hallways so empty. So used was she to the bustling hoards of students, Laurie's presence by her side and Daniel somewhere down the hall either waiting for her or ignoring her after another break up. The hall's echoing silence was kind of unnerving. Luckily it was swiftly broken by the sounds of footsteps on the stair and a quick glance up revealed it to be Laurie. "Oh, hey." She sounded torn between happy to see her friend and embarrassed about earlier in the day.

[Coming downstairs from here]Laurie grins happily at her excellent timing. "Oh, hey Eva, I was just heading out to the Theatre complex for a bit of quiet. How are you" a pause as her eyes flick between Eva and Ellie "two doing?"

"We're good," smiled Ellie, "We were just heading over there as well!"
See, it's not a date. It's a friend-thing. Not a date.
Though if it's not a date, why am I annoyed Laurie's joining us? I'm not annoyed, it's just... er, anxiety from multiple people? That sounds right. It's definitely not a date.
