Rule Breakers

Maddie threw a pebble at what she thought was Malvoes' window. She had tried something like five others, and they hadn't been right. Five times the charm, though. And she would think that during the sixth, seventh, and eighth windows too.

By the tenth window, she really was starting to doubt. She picked up another pebble and threw it against the glass.

"Ppppppst. Mal? Woohooo, is that you?" She threw a small handful at the window, wincing at the loud sound. Things always sounded louder in the middle of the night.

It was around five a.m., so it wasn't really night. Sometimes Maddie had trouble sleeping, during those times she would lay away, staring at her ceiling and thinking about everything and anything. Tonight, she had the best idea to sneak out. She actually didn't know whether that was against the rules here, since there was bound to be some nocturnal creatures and classes, but it felt illicit, and that was enough.

@Malvoes Boran

Maddie paled. Mal seemed like a grumpy riser. She grinned radiantly.

"No, because I don't know anything about them." Well, that was a logical answer to a probably rhetorical question.

"What would have happened?" She whispered, eyebrows coming closer together in curiosity. He made it sound like it was something terrible, but at worst they would have just gotten frustrated. Right? Like, she wouldn't be eaten or anything.... Right? R-Right...

"I'm sneaking out and enlisting you to come with me. It'll be a night of wild partying."

"A gun? I didn't know we could bring weapons to the school too!"

She stepped closer to the window, trying to get a peek in. "I wanna meet them."

Being here, Maddie was already returning to her adventurous side. "Can I meet them?" she asked right before he closed the window.

"Grumpy Mal..." she giggled to herself.

Maddie was waiting for Malvoes in the same spot, bouncing in place. She was holding one of her arms shyly, but her grin was anything but shy.

"You're grumpy in the morning," she giggled then skipped a little ways ahead of him.

"Maybe one day I'll come over and bring you a basket of muffins or something. Then they'll have to be my friend because who can turn down muffins?"

"Well I do have the strength of a walrus," Maddie answered without hesitation. She looked over her hands appreciatively.

"But no! I'm taking you to the best party spot in all of existence. Are you excited and awake now?"

She turned, walking backward. She had been practicing, but even still she was a huge klutz in her human form. Several times she almost fell over, but at least, she could manage to keep upright, even if it required some teetering.
