THE HUNT

[wolfetracks]

( somewhere, childe is making a horrible decision. elsewhere, sidney is... trying to be a responsible authority figure. being out of commission entirely the past month- stress induced illness followed by a legitimate cold, jesus christ- and chaperoning. going between classes and booths in the hallway, making sure things are going well, if the students need anything... a lot of legwork for a tired man, but if he lets the depression eat him, where will he be?

...

he considers, briefly, retreating for a small nap, at the very least. in an hour or so, he may regret not taking himself up on that as he descends the stairs to the third floor. what's here... ah, the cooking contest, the costume booth...

he's unaware of anything that could possibly go wrong for him, personally. )

[Truthfully, he’s already written off the spell thing as nothing more than a little placebo to goad people into acting upon their wants when they lack the courage to do so regularly. The single moment of strangeness was perhaps nothing more than his mind playing tricks and conjuring up images to go along with Komaeda’s narration. He certainly feels fine.

He’d decided to move on from the kissing booth soon thereafter, though not before checking in on Noah to make sure the boy was alright. He certainly had seemed fine - flustered, mostly - so Childe felt pretty confident that things were safe enough for him to continue on and enjoy his day. His trip to the booth marked his second floor wanderings as finished, which meant it was time to head onwards and upwards.

His hands are in his pockets as he starts up the steps to the third floor, shifting to the side to let a particularly excited gaggle of first years rush past him. There’s an amused smile on his face as he watches them race downward, shaking his head with a soft chuckle before resuming on his way.

It’s nice to get some time to relax, honestly. Ideally he would love to spend his relaxation in the throes of battle, but even he knows how to appreciate the downtime every now and then.]

( this is when an ordinary- which, given sidney's recent life, just means 'good'- day turns very bad. because of course it does, because this is his life. ... at least childe isn't, you know, the october 1st incident at least.

sidney passes childe while he's checking the forums on the PDA- it's mostly normal, for once. just kids advertising their classroom's booths and events, lost item posts, the like. maybe he'll swing by the lost and found and see if anything's been turned in.

legitimately i just want to give sidney one more moment of oblivious peace before childe gets That Way. )
