You haven't smiled in days.
You were back in Ramshackle, snug under piles of blankets, warm by the fire, a mug of your favorite hot drink in hand, and you pouted. You moped. You sighed.
You were downright miserable.
"D'you think it's the cold?" Deuce asks, closing the front door delicately, as if the sound might disturb you.
Ace scoffs. "Don't be dense. They've been acting like this since Azul's overblot,"
Ace sticks his hands in his pockets and the two start their long, snowy walk back to the mirror chamber.
"Three overblots in..." Deuce counts on his fingers. "...Four months takes a toll on you."
"You and I know the Prefect better than anyone, and I don't think that's what's causing... this," Ace says.
