I12 DT - Center of the Maze at Night

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizeable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days.

"It might be," Roland admitted. "It took a lot for me to try to break free from that mindset."

"I hope I don't understand. I don't want to kill anyone."

Haley had a brief mental flashback of some of Regan's darker experiences in Limbo, and she winced.

"...at least I don't think I do?"

"That's what I do.

Oh, sure, I've done other things -- I've been a doctor and a dancer and sailor and a baker -- but it all comes back to what I do best. It's been who I am since I escaped to Africa as a teenager."

Haley smirked "well the good food and booze sure help. But yeah. I feel pretty close to you after what we had to do and shit, and...I dunno. Now that I'm pretty sure you don't wanna kill me."

"...unless you poisoned dinner or the wine in which case fuck you," she joked.

"Well shit," she smirked, finishing her wine. "Guess I'll find out soon since fatty cleared her plate and finished her wine."

"I don't get it either, to be honest." she shrugged.

And really, she was very near stick skinny.

"Okay," she smiled, pushing away from the table and walking over to him and giving him a tight hug.

"I'll see you in class, Prof."

"G'night Prof," she smiled, making her way towards the door. She very nearly forgot her jacket, but she grabbed it with her tk and pulled it on.

Roland stood for a minute staring at her, then looked towards the little shrine in the corner.

"I know, I know. I'll take it easy this time."

"This time."
