Atem had managed to miss Linali's presence entirely as he was so focused on finding Anzu in the park. Once there, he had spoken with her until Necrophidisu had made his untimely arrival, and Anzu had fainted.

Atem sighed. This kind of wasn't fun. He hadn't slept earlier that day as he usually did due to Necrophidisu's constant looming; too creeped out to close his eyes though he knew the ghost was intangible.

He pondered for a moment what to do; whether he should wait for her to wake up or if he should try to get her back to the dorms. He could carry Anzu, but he really didn't want to. However, with another sigh, he knew that taking her back to the dorms was the best idea. She was having a hard day as it was; at the least she could wake up in a room instead of on the ground.

Carefully gathering her up in his arms, he got shakily to his feet and began back down the path he'd taken to get there. Necrophidsu followed along, chuckling creepily the whole time.

Linali was walking carefully in the dark; she wouldn't really fall, but she was afraid of dropping the books, so she kept her eyes on the ground. She lost sight of Atem, but as she was about to turn around and head back to the dorms, she saw him walking towards her.

With a girl in his arms.

Shocked, Linali managed his name. "A...Atem?"

Atem was a bit surprised to see Linali. "Linali?" He asked, blinking once. He shifted Anzu slightly in his arms, wobbling a bit, completely missing that Linali didn't seem pleased with this situation for some reason.

Necrophidisu, meanwhile, stood ominously behind them.

Completely ignoring the creepy spirit behind them, Linali could only note the gentle way he held on to her, making sure she wouldn't slip or get hurt. She did notice that he was having a difficult time holding her up. But then she got a good look at the girl's face: she was beautiful.

"Ah, I was just leaving the library," Linali squeaked out. "W-what are you doing?"

Anzu groaned, slowly opening her eyes. Now where was she? First, she was going home to help her mother with dinner after her dance practice, then she ended up in some odd park, saw Yami - and...

She shot up suddenly...which turned out not to be the best idea in the world as she closed her eyes for a moment to allow the slight throbbing to go down before opening them again. She was in - someone's room. Having a better look, she could tell it was a girl's from the few trinkets and everything that she noticed around.

Throwing the covers back, she swung her legs around til she touched ground as she decided to find out just where she was and who had brought her here...and more importantly, where Atem had disappeared to.

Atem had nodded to both Linali's vocal and implied questions and was about to answer her when he sensed someone else entering the lounge. "Just a moment, I think there's someone else here." He said to Linali, stepping over the door and opening it to lean out. He was pleasantly surprised to see it was Anzu, who aside from looking confused seemed well enough. "Anzu?"

[dark_steps]

Linali moved over to the door behind him, and saw her up and about. She smiled at the girl, hoping she wasn't too freaked out. She let Atem be the one to approach her, and stayed silent for at least a bit.

Anzu was relieved to see Atem...but who was this girl? Was she who brought her here?

"Hello...," she bowed slightly to Linali. "My name's Mazaki Anzu. Thank you for your hospitality. I apologize upon our meeting like this" she blushed a bit before turning to Atem. "Please tell me I was dreaming a moment ago..." she frowned.
