[Is this the "passed out Ion" or not? Reyna can't tell, because she doesn't know them well enough to tell the difference by sight yet. But anyway, they're headed back into the castle, and he's a few steps ahead of her.
She half-wonders if he's going to stumble. Both Ions seem to have rather delicate constitutions.
Rather than just being creepy and following him, she'll speak up since they're headed in the same direction anyway.]
Ion?
me, forgetting about unreplied to pc top levels bc not in my inbox sob
Yes? You're, ah... Miss Reyna, correct? [ Her name is on her room's door, and they share a dorm; it's just a matter of matching the face.
There is something distant and thoughtful and none-too-present in his expression as he stills and turns to face her, but still he musters up something gently kind to greet her with regardless. ]
Is there something I can help you with?
if i had a dollar for every time i've done that i could quit my job
[Hm. Still not easy to tell which this is - though she has her suspicions. She's spoken with the other one a little more often than him; the way he asks to confirm her name makes her think this may be the one who shares her dormitory.]
...I just wanted to check in. That stray vote was a little worrying, even with the clarification.
... Ah, hm. I think I see. Not unlike a... puppy, in that sense? A little eager, a little overbearing- a little likely to rush headlong into matters, but.
At least we all understand that he means well, I believe.
[ He is actively choosing to not engage with the now statement at current, because to him there's a clear 'for now' tacked onto it. ]
Here they are in the common rooms. Reyna, specifically, is eyeing the door, wondering if there's any way they can make the lock more secure. She'd prefer for it not to be picked again...]
What a dreadful predicament to be in, to think that something like this would even be necessary...
[ Still, curiosity piqued, he peers closer at the locking mechanism of the door, but doesn't get much out of it. Gee, it's like a deadlock would only be useful for the people staying inside, and impede the accessibility of the murders that the Crafters would so like for them to commit.
[Sooooo. There's stuff scattered around the castle. Some of it, Reyna doesn't particularly want - others, she does. So she can understand if anyone is going after things that appeal to them, too.
That's how she comes across Ion - who seems to be eyeing something. She's not sure if it's something he wants or just something that's caught his eye, but she stops anyway.]

god mood
[ it probably won't happen again because he gets the feeling that if a spitevote happens it'll be pointed distinctly somewhere else ]
It must be difficult, having your trust in someone betrayed like that.
no subject
[Reyna speaks from experience. And yet-]
Still, that does not excuse breaking someone else's trust in turn. Whichever of you he meant it for, neither of you did anything to deserve that vote.
no subject
[ except it was his replica whom got voted. ]
Even if I am not entirely aware what that might have been. There was, at least, no harm done in the end, and I don't believe he did it out of malice.
no subject
[So she doesn't actually think Ion did anything.]
At any rate, you're right - it's over and done with, now.

chapter one - saturday;
Here they are in the common rooms. Reyna, specifically, is eyeing the door, wondering if there's any way they can make the lock more secure. She'd prefer for it not to be picked again...]
Maybe we can barricade it?
[she mumbles to herself, as ion passes by]
no subject
[ because that's. not a bad idea. where are magical lock seals that aren't so easily picked when you need them. ]
no subject
[Ask a simple question, get a simple answer.]
The "chair under the door handle" trick may work, but that's not entirely secure in and of itself...

Hm. A thought occurs to him. ]
How well trained is your dog?
chapter five - wednesday;
That's how she comes across Ion - who seems to be eyeing something. She's not sure if it's something he wants or just something that's caught his eye, but she stops anyway.]
...need any help getting that?
