Mathias had ventured out of the comfortable den that was his dorm room with a small, magazine like book clutched in one clawed hand, and a haunted pen in the other. He had just wanted a change of scenery, to get out, but for once not to go and burn off excess energy, but to relax. He followed the maze of corridors, a certain amount of spring in his swift stride, and hopped down the stairs, always taking a giant leap when near the bottom few and landing with a solid thud of thickly soled boots on the floor each time he did so. He had opted to take a room fairly high up, because he often liked to look out of his window and imagine what it might be like to fly, looking forward to the day when he might be able to stretch his own wings out and do so, though at the moment they were still far too weak. In any case, because of this, he had a lot of stairs to jump down until he reached the ground floor, and once there, he was intent on going to find a quiet place to relax outside.
But then as he passed the common room, he couldn't help but notice how empty it was. And quiet. And those couches did really look super incredibly comfortable.
And so, that is where Mathias ended up, slouched low in a couch so that only his ears were shown peeking up, his knees raised, and a crossword puzzle book open for him to scribble away on as he guessed the correct words to fill each box. It was nice. Peaceful even. The couch itself was so soft that even his small frame seemed to just sink into it. In fact, it was so nice, he found himself feeling sleepy, and yawned, his eyelids sliding closed..
THUD!"AUCH!" The wolpertinger startled at the sudden noise, eyes flying open and ears swiveling towards the cause of the sound, jumping a little in his seat before quickly flipping himself over and slowly peeking over the edge to whatever it was, and then quickly averting his gaze. Ghoul. It was a ghoul. Of course it was a ghoul, as they were clearly the source of all trouble in the world. He sniffed the air a little, nostrils flaring as he did so, and then hunkered back down and turned so that once again, only his ears were showing.
"Vas alvays there before." He called out to her.
"Maybe next time be vatching vhere you put your clumsy feet." He was scowling to himself, irritated that his peaceful moment had been ruined.
