Kai stares at her, obviously able to tell she wasn't a child "I'm probably younger than you are. So no. This doesn't count. Actually. Now that I'm getting a good look at you. Eh. I'm being traumatized. What is all this-" The syphon lift his hand and made a circle motion in front of her face.

Jim glanced around the roof one last time, checking to make sure everything was all set. It was still pretty cold out, but hopefully by meeting early like this he could get her back inside before the worst of the night's chill set in. At least the weather site had been right and the night was perfectly clear. The moon gave a little light, but not enough to really block out the stars, especially since Maine didn't have LA's light pollution issue to make this any harder. She'd get something out of tonight at least. 

The bitter chill ran through Emmeline Vance like it was late winter; however is was only mid October and she was still in the girls dormitory of the Ravenclaw Tower. It hadn't been a late night of fun and mischief but Em was finding it more and more difficult to get out of bed as the weather grew colder.  It took nearly forty-five minutes that morning to get herself out of bed. 

Usually she'd hop right out of bed on the weekends, especially ones where a trip to Hogsmeade was not even an hour away. She looked over towards Parnella's bed that was already empty. She probably already went down to the Great Hall to meet Alice for breakfast before they all headed out.

She quickly brushed her hair and changed into warm clothes before she set out of the girls dorm and then the Ravenclaw Tower. She was hardly dressed to kill but it would have to be good enough for now. Sometimes the cold meant hiding what your usually care to expose. When she reached the Great Hall she searched for her friends until she came across a full mess of white-ish blonde hair.

Emmeline watched Dorcas as she left. Em was headed towards the Ravenclaw common room but as soon as Doe was out of sight she walked in another direction, no destination, just any other direction. She kept looking around to make sure that no one was following her or around her. There was no way she was calling it a night, not yet. It was early and she was still on a bit of an adrenaline rush from what had occurred earlier before.

She knew a lot of the passages around the castle and the secret hiding places. There were tons of things to do but no one to do them with. Not that she was complaining, she wasn’t really a popular person around the school. She was a troublemaker and everyone knew it. There were few she took along on her adventures with her but she hoped that would change one day.

It was strange- strange being back in Bayview after being so gone for so long. The same cold, stone walls that Aslo used to stare at, lean upon, and press upon were now so unfamiliar, though they were still the same grey walls. Bayview hadn’t changed one bit, but Aslo had. He was struggling. After three months stuffed in a padded cell, he was driven absolutely mad- madder than he was before and it wasn’t the good kind of mad either. He was going crazy on the inside, his mind constantly flashing to memories of sitting alone in that white room, hands tied behind his back via straight jacket. On the outside, he was jittery, his eyes wide and accentuated with dark rings that identified long sleepless nights, but he tried to keep sane- tried to keep cool. The only thought that kept him holding on was Alice.
