Sonia looked at where he held her arm. "What's wrong?" she whispered almost inaudible. Her eyes pierced his.

Sonia sighed. "How long do we have until we have to go back?"

Elrohir shrugged as he opened the door to the cell. "A couple of hours, I think. Get some sleep." He turned and left, leaving Maik guarding the door to the cell.

Sonia watched him leave sadly. she sighed and layed down. In no time she was a curled up mass of softly snoring ravenclaw. He robes were the only cover she needed.

Maik leaned against the cell door, listening to Sonia's snores. She wondered if Descartes was ok. He'd gotten the brunt of the questioning. She also wondered vaugely if he snored.

Descartes walked into the cell. He looked at his sister and smiled. "At least she's getting some sleep." he whispers.

Maik returned the smile. "You should sleep too."

"No thank you, Ms. Maik. I'm not tired." he said bowing to her before sitting beside Sonia. He gently moved some hair out of her eyes. "Won't be long now, right?"

"Hope not." Maik replied. "Not if I can help it." She adjusted her weight to make herself more comfortable. She'd probably be standing there for a while.

"Thank you, for all you're doing. I hate we have to impose on you and your brother so much." he said.

Maik just smiled. "It's no bother. I'd do the same for any of my friends." SHe galnced at him, sitting in the cell. Could he GET any more charming?

Descartes smiled at Maik. He took his cloak off and made a pillow for Sonia. He gently laid it under her head. "So peaceful when she's sleeping." he whispered. He was glad Maik coldn't read his thoughts. He had thought she was beautiful before even meeting her in person.

It was a good thing Sonia had a brother like that. The guy just kept giving her excuses to like him. Not that she was about to complain about that.

Descartes bit his lip. "Um, Ms. maik, am I allowed a cup of water?" he asks. His green eyes staring into hers.

Maik raised an eyebrow. "Of course." She went and found him a glass of water and reached through the bars of the cell to hand it to him.

Descartes gently reached out to get. As his hand enclosed around the cup, his fingers brushed hers. He blushed and took it. He looked at the floor. "Thank you." he said drinking from the cup slowly.

Maik's face really didn't change, but, her eyes betrayed her. She mumbled a "you're welcome." and quickly turned around again, praying she wasn't blushing.

WHen descartes finished he fumble with the cup. "So, if you don't mind me asking, do you think it's just me or do you think my little sister has a crush on your brother too?" he whispered.
