MC: *carries him to the infirmary as though he weighs nothing; a faint smile lingers on their lips, while their footsteps remain unnaturally quiet, swallowed by the silence of the hallway*
Cater: I-I can walk on my own.
MC: Ah, but you were unsteady on your feet a moment ago.
Cater: (Yeah, and whose fault is that?) *can't help but roll his eyes*
MC: *liking his reaction* I'd like to apologize again. I didn't realize it was you until I heard the bat connect.
Cater: Huh? You were after my clones, though??
MC: Yes. But your clones sounded different. Like wood against paper. They also made a distinct popping sound when they disappeared. I found it... interesting.
MC: And that's why I was surprised when I found the real thing.
MC: I'll leave you be. If you decide to report me to the professors, I won't stand in your way. After all, I did endanger your life.
Riddle: Cater, are you sure you're alright?
Cater: I'm totes okay, Riddle-kun! Professor Crewel said I'd just have some headaches, and that's about it!
Riddle: Regardless, I expect an explanation. How exactly did you end up like this?
Cater: *laughs sheepishly* It was just an accident, Riddle-kun! They were playing around with a bat and didn't notice me, so I got hit instead. But it's all good now!
Riddle: What? How utterly irresponsible! Who was it? I need to have a word with them at once!
Cater: Seriously, it's fine! They helped me to the infirmary right after it happened!
Riddle: Very well. I won't press the matter any further.
Cater: Thanks a lot, Riddle-kun!
Trey: MC? Are you here to visit Cater?
MC: Yes. It was my fault he was injured. *smiles*
Trey: Oh, but it was an accident.
MC: An 'accident'? Is that how he chose to describe it?
MC: *chuckles softly* Never mind. In any case, I brought these for him. *holds out the bag of spicy treats*
Trey: Oh, Cater will surely like these.
Trey: Okay. Be careful on your way.
