Once you are covered, Alex opens the door, and reveals two guards. One with a black helmet with a glassy covering for the face, and another, standing closer, without one. The former slowly glides into the center of the room, her weapon hanging at her chest as she apologetically smiles at your roommates.
Yet, she's taken aback when she sees you all covered, and quickly nods. "Apology for poor timing, girls. I will make it quick! We are to deliver the message from the 'authorities'. Long story short, lessons delayed. Sorry for... Interrupting~" She smirks, and hands Alex a sheet of paper.
"Well, for your own good, there are going to be bad people coming here soon, so better stay indoors... Although the director failed to mention a curfew so here is that, or maybe she did? But was babbling incomprehensibly, if so it doesn't count. Well, just don't break the usual guidelines, and we are fine." As she says the last part, she and her collage pat their weapons, although her expression is that of being bored.
Then she does a quick turn on her heel and walks back to the doors. "One more thing, it's not my business, or anything, but I would advise being polite, preferably pretty, if you see anyone... Not that I would doubt your looks, of course." She bows and kisses Jaq's palm, just like Alex often did, with a wide grin, but Jaq seems elsewhere, and doesn't react at all.
"Better not to talk at all, actually. oh, and- eiii?!
You all jump when the guard at the door slams the but of his weapon into the doorframe with a deep huff.
"Alright, alright, have a interesting day, girls." She says as she moves to leave, but when she does, you see a small Swiss flag on her shoulder and a plaque with the name 'Leonie'.
When the doors close behind her, awkward silence is cast on the dingy dorm, as Jaq seems to be deep in thoughts... And shaken(?), Meanwhile Alex reads...
You aim to ask Jaq again, when Alex speaks and interrupts you. You aren't even mad anymore. You saw it coming.
"We are instructed that lessons will occur in 3 hours time, do you hear, mistress Jaq?" So you have plenty of time... Well, convenient.
Jaq merely nods, still thinking, but mutters anyway: "Aki, we need you dressed... Today, if you have nothing, take one of mine, or Alex's. We cannot gain any suspicion. Not this far. I need to know if you know anything." B-but you asked first...
You don't get to ask however, Jaq drops on her bed and nestles into her bedding, with a small smile and a sigh of relief audible for all.
Then she just stares at you, emotions once again gone, leaving only a impatience...
Also, did your eyes fail you, or is everyone just a little more... No, ridiculous. Jaq always was... but the way she expresses... No. Alex is different too... What does it mean?
