And if you don't think that we can sing it faster then you're wrong But it'll help if you just sang along..." He managed to sing the entire verse without laughing his head off, though he wanted to so much. When he first heard the song, he couldn't believe its absurdity. But this wasn't the time to worry about looking silly, a little silliness is what they need right now.

It had been a long day and she hadn't even had a chance to rest yet before this happened. Her eyelids drooped a bit, but she forced them open again. As she looked across the light of the fire, she saw Ethan and heard him call to her. I can sit by him? she thought happily. She must not have been too much of a bore earlier if he was going to continue being nice to her. She was really grateful for it, and got up with her bag to sit in the empty spot near him.

Once she was settled in, she turned to him and said, "Thanks, Ethan." She smiled up at him and tried not to be too troubled by the whole situation. She was though, notoriously curious, no matter how sleepy she was. She yawned and covered her mouth. Sitting here with someone was nice. She was the oldest child in her family so she'd never really had someone to ask questions to, or rely on really. Other than her parents of course, but she didn't like to bother them with most things. She thought Ethan seemed smart so she wanted to get his thoughts on this occurrence. "What do you think happened?" she whispered. She didn't want a bunch of people to hear them, and she knew the other first years were enjoying a campfire song at the moment and she didn't want to scare them. She returned a few vacant smiles to students singing in her direction around the fire, but she did not join in yet. She wasn't so easily distracted.

Ethan had never been camping, but if this is what is was, then he thought it wasn't half-bad. He grinned over at Mick as he started the song. Ethan managed the Let's gather 'round the campfire to sing our 'Campfire Song'! OUR C-A-M-P-F-I-R-E-S-O-N-G SONG! quite well.. yes, he was quite proud of his spelling skills.. and he hummed along to the rest being unsure of the words. Maybe he'd get it on the next go. He chuckled lightly at the end.. it was a kind of fun and silly song but it seemed to lighten the mood a bit.. and that was exactly what they needed. Especially to put the younger ones at ease. "Do you know any more?" he asked Mick. Or maybe they could just sing that one again..

He smiled warmly at Eliza as she came to sit by him. The boy felt compelled to look out for the younger girl and figured if she sat near him, she might feel a little less distressed about the situation. Not that he was very confident about it himself.. but he thought he hid it well. Ethan thought for a moment about her question. He really had no idea what was going on and the thought that this was just the latest string in a series of bizarre occurrences was rather unsettling. Still, he didn't want the younger kids any more worried than they were. "I'm sure it's just like the prefect said.. The castle is playing some sort of joke on us." And he wouldn't be surprised given the odd sort of things he had seen happen the past few months.. but he had a funny feeling that wasn't it.

He glanced around the area looking for any of the Claws he knew somewhat well - Cora, Elliot, Taylor. No sign of any of them.. he figured they weren't in the common room when it happened. He turned back to Eliza and gave her a reassuring smile. "Once Professor V gets here, I'm sure he'll sort everything out." Yes, adults usually had the answers.
