Welcome to Gaia! ::

After leaving the empty classroom in the Dungeons, Vikram needed to walk and get some time away from everyone. He started walking, letting his feet lead him where he needed to go, rather than trying to think about somewhere to go. His feet carried him out of the dungeons, then out of the school entirely. It didn't matter that it was the middle of winter and there was snow on the ground; he needed to wander and wander he did. Vikram was kicking himself in the a**... how could he believe that Csuri would actually care about him? Was he the thick one? Maybe, he had hoped, Csuri would come around and start to feel things for him too. They had met up several times, mostly in that abandoned classroom to be physical together, but Vikram had wanted more. He had hoped that she would too, but clearly, it was only the physical release for her and that's all he meant to her. He could scream. It was all so stressful! Why couldn't she show feeling once?! It was like she was a robot, but one that had a massively bitchy attitude. While he was thinking to himself, he'd been walking. Finally, he realized how far he'd walked around the Black Lake, finding himself nowhere near the castle anymore.

Vikram sank down onto the soft sand of the beach, looking out over the water at the sun setting behind the horizon. Jeez, he'd actually slapped her. Vikram looked down at his hands and sighed. Well, it wasn't like she actually cared about him, so why did it matter if he'd ruined everything by slapping her. He imagined she immediately ran to a Professor or Head to report him and he'd have detention when he got back. He didn't want to go back right now. Looking around, he waved his hand, drawing over some sticks and leaves nearby, watching as they arranged themselves into a campfire. Then he cast a fire charm, lighting his little campfire. After the sun had set, Vikram sat on the beach staring into the fire. With another heavy sigh, he pulled his legs up to his chest and held them, watching the fire burn. Gods above, he was so stupid. He loved someone who hated him. The fire continued to burn as Vikram watched it. He was tired. He'd cried and walked very far. Sitting there, staring into the fire, Vikram fell asleep. As the fire burned down to ashes, the cold of the winter night soaked into his bones, causing him to shiver awake. Sitting up, he rubbed his eyes and looked up at the starry night sky. With a sigh, he pushed himself up and stalked back to the school.
