[He signed his name at the front desk roster and took a deep breath as he shifted the strap of his bag on his shoulder. He had sent a letter to the Headmaster announcing his return, but he couldn't put pen-to-paper when it came to letting his friends know. Specifically? Letting her know.]

Some things have to be done face-to-face, Milo. It's okay. You got this. You got this...

Three hundred and seven, three hundred and seven.

[He swallowed as he repeated the number, instead of the name associated with it, somehow it helped. He stopped in front of the door, his eyes closing as he felt a rush of dizziness and nausea wash over him.]

Steady...

[DEEP breath. He opened his eyes again, wiped his sweaty palms off on his coat, and rose his hand up to knock on the door. Well, he thought it was knocking. In reality it was more of a 'tap tap tap'. And now? He waits.]

(OOC note: If you want to catch Milo before he makes it to Kida's room, GO FOR IT!)
