Just Away from the Bonfire: Ellie & Rider & Kaden
The look on their faces was priceless, and if Kaden wasn't in such a sour mood with tensions high after the mysterious death of one of their students, he might have actually laughed and let them off easier for being so loyal to one another. Ellie would've made a fine Ladon. But no, this was serious business. Alcohol had been consumed by minors and one of them happened to be a pyromancer who already had just a tentative control over her powers.
He looked from one student to the other as each tried to take the rap for the alcohol. Even if they had been convincing - which they weren't - they both had equally broken the rules. Kaden could smell it.
"You're both done," Kaden growled, spilling the rest of Ellie's drink into the bushes with an angry jerk. "Get back to your room - your own rooms - and stay there. I don't want to see or smell either of you for the rest of the night. Understood?" He fixed each of them with a sharp look and stacked the cups together.
"You'll be serving a week of detention starting tomorrow at dawn, bright and early, with the groundskeeper." There was always a mess to clean up on November 1st. Halloween at the Academy was an all night affair.
