Could it have gone any worse? No, probably not. He had made a fool out of himself, upset Myriam, and well... he was sure there was more he could cringe about later. How he had managed to go from having an actual conversation to whatever that mess was, is a total mystery. All he knew was that he would probably never hear the end of it from Leila, because there was no way Myriam would want to talk to either of them again after that. He had watched her go, followed the path of water so he could also return his tray, but she was long gone before he did so. He couldn't risk bumping into her again, not if everything that came out of his mouth was so stupid.

With a groan, Luke started towards his room, trudging down the halls slowly, avoiding eye contact with anyone, as if they could somehow magically see his shame, his embarrassment, and just how socially awkward he was. Why did Leila always have to put him in these positions? She knew how bad he was at this! He needed to calm down, to distract himself... His destination changed, he hurried to the library, the one spot where he could just read, and where even Leila rarely bothered him. For all her craziness she knew that this was his special place, if he was here then she needed to just leave him be.

It didn't take long for him to be settled in the plush, leather chair at the back of the library, book in hand. He had skimmed the books, barely reading the titles, and it wasn't until he flipped open the cover that he realized he had picked up a book about Gorgons. It was one of the old, dusty ones that was rarely used, but pages yellow. He had read books about a lot of the species, mostly when he met or saw someone at school and was curious. Despite knowing that he could never really show his face around Myriam again, he wanted to know more, to see if the ones like her, were in this book.

It was no surprise that Leila didn't actually go to class, not when there were so many more fun things to do, which included spying on her brother. Of course she didn't get to do much of that, by the time she had made it to her room, left behind her pretty blue dress, and turned into her cat form, apparently her brother had messed it all up. As she padded down the hall, tail swishing happily, she noticed first Myriam come through, then Luke, who looked entirely unhappy. Never a good sign with him. She was going to confront him, but as she followed him she realized he was going to the library, his special place. With an annoyed meow she let him continue on without her, she would have to wait until he went back to his room to figure out what happened. Unless...

She wasn't sure which room was Myriam's, but the trail of water proved useful. She followed it through the halls of the girls dorms until it stopped at a door. It would be hard to talk to her in this current form, and she wasn't sure Myriam would appreciate her... lack of clothing when she transformed out of it, so she hurried back to her room, where she would have to figure out how she was going to do this. Another note? It seemed like a good choice, but then again she didn't know how bad her brother had messed things up. No, this was going to be more difficult than she thought...
