And then someone dragged his sorry butt back to school. [Action post.]
[Despite saying he was going to be gone for a day, he was actually gone for two nights and almost three days. He walked back into school almost as if nothing had happened. Battered brown leather jacket done up despite the days lingering warmth, scuffed gym bag over his shoulder and a five oclock shadow that looked more like seven fifteen. He looked tired and drawn, and there was no spring in his step. More a determination to get to his dorm and crash. Get in a good ten, twelve hours rest.
It wouldn't have been an unfamiliar sight to anyone who knew him from Capcom. The full moon had done what it did every month, though, the largest, brightest full moon of the year always had a more pronounced effect. And he'd done what he could to fight it - that was to run. Tire himself out as completely as he was able. Get as far away from people as he possibly could and just let the whole thing run it's course. If you'd been anywhere near the mountains at night, you may have heard a long, drawn out howl or two. He always enjoyed yelling at the moon when it was bright in the sky.
And now, he was back. Danger averted, a few bumps and scrapes but no mortal injuries, a warm meal to be had in all probablility and a warm bed to sink into at some point sooner rather than later.
Bliss.
Of course, there was that walk from the school gates TO the dorms. He preferred not to think about it and it's dangers.]
