The sound of Alice's voice (strangely) brought comfort to Penelope. She took her time to sit up and focus on her; sudden movements would show guilt. "Not really," she replied flatly. Nonchalantly the girl collected and put away her materials, shoving Kane as much as she could out of her dizzied mind. "I'm going to bed early."

(THE NEXT DAY)

The ex-Faunus sauntered through the empty hallways to her dorm room. Even for a studious woman like herself, three exams in a single day was draining. Out the hall windows she could see young hunters leaving for Vale, laughing and enjoying themselves. It was an off day. Only a handful of students remained inside the school. Penelope entered their room, empty as expected. She predicted it would remain that way for the next few hours, or possibly until tomorrow, for Alice and Darian sometimes stayed out entire nights. Dizzily she shuffled to her bed while slipping off her shrug, tossing it onto the dresser. She slumped down on her stomach and continued to kick off her boots while smothering her face into the pillow. Soon she drifted asleep, not caring how long she remained there.
