Main Street

You panted, leaning your hands on your knees, back slumped and chest heaving.

“That was scary… what's up with those guys?” Grim, who jumped down from your arms the second you stopped running, asked Riddle.

Riddle huffed. “Don't ask me. Those two have always been so difficult to grasp that I can't really understand them.”

“Those two seem like they'll target you for revenge if you hurt them.” Cater shivered, thinking about the deep two-toned eyes that stare right into your soul.

“I probably won't go after them then…” Ace replied, a shudder crossing his spine.

“Alright, the sun's setting so the next one's our last observation for real. It's Savanaclaw's Jack Howl. He's a 1st year.” Cater stood up, finally caught his breath.

‘I feel like we just ran a whole mile, these guys didn't even sweat.’ You stared at the males in front of you in disbelief. ‘I don't believe this.’ You huffed, posture straightened as you listened to the third year.

“He's pretty athletic and there's a rumor that he a got flurry of invitations from various athletic clubs.”

“He might be back in his dorm around this time, huh.” Deuce pointed out, didn't even broke a sweat.

‘This guy Usain Bolt or something?’

Riddle held his wrist up. “Oh, it's already 5 pm. According to the Rule number 346 of the Queen of Hearts: ‘One must not stay and play croquet in the gardens past 5 pm’. I'll return to the dorm for now. If I take my eyes off them, there will surely be people breaking the rules.”

“I thought you'd gone soft, but you're still the same as always.” Grim shook his head, as if disappointed.

“I-I think I'm being a little bit lenient on the rules lately, though…” Riddle trailed, thinking back to the punishments he gave now versus to the punishments he gave back then.

“Yup, yup! He's been nicer lately. But his seriousness is one of his charm points too!” Cater grinned widely, backing up their Prefect. “Alright then. Good luck back there, Riddle-kun!”

Riddle waved as he turned to walk away from the group.

“Okay let's head to Savanaclaw's Dorm.” Ace sighed, wanting to get this over with quick.

Hall of Mirrors
Savanaclaw Dorm

It was warm, and dry. It felt like you were really in the middle of the Savannah.

“Whoa… so this is Savanaclaw's Dorm?” Deuce awed, looking around the warm scenery.

“Their dorm looks like it's made from really scraggy rocks! Hey, what do you think those bones are from?” Grim nudged at you as he pointed to the animal skull close to your feet.

“This is too cool to be true.” You took in the faint breeze, although it was warm the setting of the sun made it bearable.

“The atmosphere's completely different from ours.” Ace commented, poking the animal skull with his foot.

“Ain't it? It feels completely rough, doesn't it? I guess it's got a wild image in general!” Cater's smile brightened, as if that was possible.

You walked through the dry area in search of the student.

“So… Jack, was it? What kinda guy is he?” Ace queried, looking around.

Cater hummed. “He's tanned and got silver hair. It seems like wolf ears and a tufty tail are his trademarks.”
