Artemia sighed, and for one second, it looked like she might apologize to Katherine, but instead, she stood up from her seat. She spoke to Nikolaos in Greek, before exiting the dining room. It was most likely that she was going to speak to Branwen. Niko stared at Katherine and sighed. "Feel free to finish your dinner. Or not, that's not my problem."
(Not me about to poke then realizing I’m the one who didn’t respond 😭)
Kat looked around for a moment, then sighed, standing up. “I think I’ll just excuse myself,” she said.
(sneep snorp)
(AHHH I'M SO SORRY)
"Suit yourself," Niko responded with a shrug. He didn't look up from his food, but out of the corner of his eyes, he watched her. He could call for a servant to bring her back to her room, but he decided it would be more fun if he didn't. Besides, he hoped that Katherine would get herself lost…stumble into one of their secret rooms….and get trapped down there with no food or water whatsoever. He was already excited at the mere thought of Kat getting lost and then dying.
(DW ABOUT IT)
Katherine walked off, and started wandering around. She had no idea where she was going, but she wasn’t about to ask for help. No, she could find her room on her own. Probably.
(me ignoring my oxo rps for no reason whatsoever)
Branwen sulkily started making her way back to her room. She had made a detour to the library to grab some books that she knew Artemia wouldn't like her to read. Something about her being too young or too dark, she didn't quite remember. But she was basically 14! That was old for gargoyles. She humphed as she brought the books closer to her and then stopped in her tracks as the lights started to flicker…before everything went dark.
