[a few hours after a wolf attack and some healing by wizardry, Hanna Cross is getting a text message]

Hanna, could you come over?

[crisscrossing]

[replies almost immediately—looks like someone actually has their cellphone on them for once]

Now???

[fourthsaken]

[replies just as quickly]

yes, and use your light rune.

[crisscrossing]

[??? rereads the text message before shoving his phone back in his pocket and setting off for Jade's cabin]

[fourthsaken]

[her cabin should be easy to spot since every single light is turned on!]

[crisscrossing]

Jade?

[comes in without knocking, AS USUAL]

[fourthsaken]

[she's sitting on the couch.

or she had been. at the noise, she startles with a scream and hides behind the couch.]

[crisscrossing]

Whoawhoawhoa, it's me!

[fourthsaken]

[peeking around the side of the couch]

Hanna? Shit. Knock next time!

[crisscrossing]

[closes the door behind him]

Err! My bad.

[fourthsaken]

[stands slowly. she's wearing her pajamas and you may notice that her eye makeup and hair are kind of a mess]

... Sorry. It's... Probably me. I'm kinda jumpy tonight.

[crisscrossing]

Did something happen?

[fourthsaken]

[nods]

But don't freak out, okay?

[crisscrossing]

That... is not encouraging!

[fourthsaken]

I know, I know. Just... Sit down first?

[gestures to the couch]

[crisscrossing]

[glances back at the door, then sits on the arm of the couch, studying her face]

[fourthsaken]

[takes a deep breath, looking down at her hands and avoiding eye contact]

I... I kinda got attacked by these, uh, shadow wolf things.

[crisscrossing]

—Waitwhat, outside? Just now? Are you okay?

[fourthsaken]

Uh, in the library. A couple hours ago. And yeah, I'm fine. Ronan did his wizard healing thing.

[crisscrossing]

...

[fourthsaken]

... Are you freaking out? I told you not to freak out.

[crisscrossing]

[getting up and heading to a window so he can peer outside]

Have you heard from anyone else?

[fourthsaken]

[shakes her head, pulling her knees up to her chest and resting her chin on her knees]

... No. I called Ronan after they left and... He teleported me right back here.

[crisscrossing]

You're sure they were shadows?

[fourthsaken]

... I think so. There were two, they were running toward me from around the bookshelves, so I ran to hide behind one of the chairs. Another wolf formed there.

[crisscrossing]

[frowns, forehead still pressed up against the window]

Corporeal, though?
