Thread - A Break
WHO: Aktamun and Mani
WHEN: Thursday, Sept 6th
WHERE: Main classroom building, lower level
When Mani had seen Aktamun in the hallway between classes, the impulse had struck and he went with it. He caught the witch gently by the arm and leaned in quickly to whisper into his ear, “Let’s get out of here, yeah?”
Mani led the way through the throng of students, turned down a less populated hall, then an empty one. He led them to a stairwell and behind it, where an usually unnoticed set of stairs led down to the lower level. “I just noticed these the other day”, he told him, still using a quiet voice. “Want to see where they go? Should be a bit cooler down there anyway.” Mani didn’t tend o be bothered by temperatures much, but it was an unseasonably warm day and he could tell the heat had been making many of his classmates uncomfortable.
“Come on”, he encouraged, leading the way. The light seemed more dim as they descended. Mani noticed the walls were stone and that it was indeed cooler, like a cellar. Wall sconces holding candles lit this new hallway they stepped down into. “I just needed me a break today”, he explained. “Didn’t think I’d be this busy so early in the year.” Most of that had been his own fault for choosing to run for student council.
