He'd been glad to find the building still open, having left his scarf in one of the empty classes earlier. Slipping inside, he made his way to the classroom he'd been in earlier.

And stopped short when he saw someone sleeping at one of the desks.

He'd known students to fall asleep during class, but usually they were either woken up by the professor or when the other students left. Figuring he might as well wake her now, he crossed to her and shook her shoulder.

"Uwah..."

The girl lightly pushed his hand away and with her other arm, propped herself up. Her eyelids were still so heavy that she almost laid her head on the table to head back to sleep. Vanessa was only then aware that someone had woken her up. With sleepy eyes she looked at the tall guy who...was there. Standing in front of her.

"Eh...hello?" She didn't really know what to say to him. Well, no one really knows what to say to strangers.

Vanessa tore her gaze from him to look out the window. Just a glance. At the sight of the lack of sun, her eyes widened a bit and she became fully awake. How long had she been asleep?

She was cute, he had to give her that.He watched her, eyebrow raised, as she just blinked up at him sleepily. At her reaction to what time it apparently was outside he was satisfied that she wasn't going to go back to sleep, he considered his good deed done for the day. He started towards where he'd sat earlier, looking for his scarf.

"You should go before they lock the building," he called over his shoulder.

With that, panic spread all over her face, She watched him as he went over to the seats to her right. "What time is it?" It was in a hushed tone but her being alarmed was obvious.

The longer time passed, the more she got closer to being fully awake. Suddenly, she realized what has got her so jumpy in the first place. Her hands slowly made their way to her lips, the tips of her fingers lightly pressing them. "Are my lips normal? Are they okay?" Her voice was louder this time, and even more concerned than with her previous question.

[oranje_windmill]

He glanced at his watch.

"About six."

At her next question, he stopped to turn and look at her with a bemused look.

"They look okay," he replied, watching her carefully. "Are you okay?"

[sailastronauts]

"Six?! I've been here for two hours?" It was more of her freaking out to herself than to him, though.

"Whaaa", she whined, looking back out the window as she kept pushing her lips. She turned back to Willem but her attention went back to them.

"Are you sure? They don't look scale-y?" she asked in sort of response to his question.

[oranje_windmill]

At that point he stood, leaning against one of the nearby desks.

"You seem fine. Are you sure you're okay?"

She may have just had a bad dream, but she might also have a fever. It would explain how she managed to sleep through the bustle at the end of class and the disorientation.

[sailastronauts]

She doubted him, his being a stranger and all, nonetheless, she dropped the subject for the mean time. "...if you say so." Still, she licked her lips after she let her hands drop to her side

"I think I'm okay. I didn't know I was asleep for so long. Were you here for two hours?"

[oranje_windmill]

He shook his head.

"Just got here."

He spied his scarf, and grabbed it from where he he had draped it across the back of his chair. Quickly he wrapped it around his neck, and then turned towards the girl.

"You should probably go home before they close the building."

He stood watching her, making sure she was truly okay.

Vanessa frowned, the realization that no one bothered to wake her up just hitting her. This guy seemed nice enough, thankfully. She gave him a small smile and nodded, "Thanks. Thank you, really. My fish won't starve tonight thanks to you."

She didn't get up, though. Her legs were still numb. Instead, she just weakly waved him off while avoiding moving her legs or having them touch anything.

[oranje_windmill]

He started to turn, walk out, when he realized she wasn't coming. He turned back to look at her, a questioning look on his face.

"Sure you're alright?"

He didn't want to leave her here if something was wrong. This late no one would be here till the janitors came and cleaned in another hour or so.

[sailastronauts]

She really was fine. She widened her smile and continued to wave him off.

"I'm all right, really. I just feel stars on my legs" she said, referring to the pins and needles feeling after moving a numb body part. The feeling usually passes in a few minutes. After, she would leave - hopefully, before the janitors arrive and then lock the building. Though she'd probably pass by one of the bathrooms first to make sure her face is not blue green and her skin is not scale.

"Thank you for your concern, mister."

[oranje_windmill]

He stood for another moment, watching her to make sure she was telling the truth, before he nodded. Turning, he walked out the door and headed back to the front of the building where he'd left his bicycle.
