Ajax POV
Nighttime. After I told my story to Weiss, dark fell over and she had to go back to her dorm. After a long day, I arrive at my dorm, mentally exhausted. I open the door slightly and see Hana doing some notes while Titus and Zack were doing some work on Sirius. I completely open the door and everyone's attention gets diverted towards me standing below the door frame.
"Geist! Have you been? You skipped professor Oobleck's class," Hana exclaimed and rushed towards me.
"Oh, just needed some air after that kerfuffle..."
"Do not fret Geist, you are not the enemy," Titus walked over to me and placed his hand on my shoulder.
"Thanks..." I fake a smile. "Let's get some rest, I think everyone needs it. Tomorrow we have a trip, don't we?"
"Sure do! I'm excited about it! I hope there are Grimm around. I've been meaning to test my new upgrade," He said caressing Sirius's blade with a devilish smirk on his face.
"Zack, you ought to be careful with that. It is still a work in progress, who knows, you could perhaps explode when you activate it," Titus explained.
"You designed something that could explode?!" Hana asked worriedly.
"He sure did! And that's where the fun is," Zack exclaimed with his hands in fists.
I couldn't help but smile at this. Zack's trigger-happy attitude compensates for my laid-back attitude. Titus is like a big brother and Hana is the big sister of the team, always worrying about everyone's safety.
"Let's hope that nothing blows up," I add with a smile. "I'm going to change,"
I left for the bathroom and did my nightly routine. I had planned to sleep tonight. I need that mental nothingness for at least one night.
Jester, mind waking me up at eight o'clock?
With pleasure.
I exited the bathroom with the pajamas Zack lent me and see that the lights were already off. Zack was already sound asleep. Titus was getting in his bed and Hana was reading with a nightlight on. I head to my bed and turn away from Hana's nightlight and close my eyes, quickly falling asleep.
The Next Day...
"Alright, everyone! Time to get up!" I heard Jester's voice yell at us.
Oh no. Please don't tell me he's...
I quickly get up and look at the figure and it was in fact, Jester. He was standing there with his usual attire and his hands behind his back.
"Jester?! What are you doing there standing in front of everyone?!" I asked him yelling at him but whispering at the same time.
"Well, I thought you told me to wake you up? Am I not wrong?" He asked calmly.
"Yeah, but I meant only me and in my mind! Not the entire team and yelling at them!" I yell at him once again. I hear rustling sheets coming from next to me. I see Hana was waking up.
"Morning everyone. Why so much chatter-" She opened her eyes and saw the black figure with a top hat on. "Am I having a nightmare?"
"You are certainly not, Hana Hayashi," Jester added. Titus was next to this mess.
"Hmm... Geist, mind telling us why you were scolding a tall, sharply dressed shadow with a top hat on?" Titus sat there on his bed dumbfounded. I simply sigh.
"Can you guys shut the fuck up? I'm trying to sleep here!" Zack aggressively said and buried his head in the pillow.
"Zachary Solaris, watch that attitude!" Jester scolded him in a mocking matter. Zack unburied his head and looked up at Jester.
