Blinking rapidly from the brightness of the flash, Professor Morgan just looked down at Jason and frowned. "Mister Wesley, the proper way to take someone's picture is to ASK first," she said, her hands now on her hips. "And I should take points for that comment. I am your TEACHER. Please refrain from such compliments in the future."

"S'eep now," he repeated back in a shallow whisper. Soon, though, it seemed like Lawson was being pulled off... because he was. Once more, Jake gave the tiniest whimper, but his fingers were now too weak to keep the grip. "No go 'fessor Laws'n..." but... Jake let go. And fell asleep.
Until a camera flash went off, making Jake violently twitch where he lay, shaking his head as he heard some words spoken. "See gots boyfr'en', no trildren please, miss'er Kazi... Devilsssnare in 'er offissssss... gett'er back wi' pink c't..."
As he mumbled his strange words, Jake disappeared beneath the covers for a second. Soon enough, two of his bulky skater shoes were pushed out of the side of the bed, along with his socks and finally his jacket/hoodie.
When the boy re-emerged, it was with his head at the foot of the bed, and he was hugging a pillow, as well as laying on it. Waving in Lawson's direction, then Professor Morgan's, Jake yawned and bid them goodnight.
"Nighty night Mooosic maaaaan, Nighty night Ms. Cowgiiirrrrrl..." he murmured deliriously, finally crashing out on the pillow he was hugging, the hems of the long sleeves of his red shirt held in his hand.
Iliana dropped her arms back to her side and eyed Jake's ramblings curiously. Other than 'Devil's Snare' and 'boyfriend' (was he talking about HER?!) she didn't really catch much else. She followed him with her eyes as he dove under the covers and raised an eyebrow when he popped out of the other side. "Getting comfortable, Jake?" she asked before laughing at her newest nickname. "Ms. Cowgirl, huh?" she chuckled. "I kinda like that," she added with a wink and a big smile. "Goodnight."

He ruffled Jake's hair lightly and then looked up at Iliana.
Marcus nodded his head in agreement. "I think that would be for the best, especially since this new Healer doesn't seem to be all that good." He didn't know who this Melita was but going from everyone's reaction about her, she didn't appear to be very competent. He was about to argue with her, he wanted to stay where Jake was but what would it look like if he stayed here in her hut.
He gave her a hug and held her tightly for a moment before pulling away and giving her a smile that was just for her. "You don't need to thank me Ili, I would do anything for that boy." He was about to lean in and give her another kiss but there was a knock on the door and he took a couple of steps away from her. "Come and get me in the morning when he wakes up."
Good, they were on the same page it seemed. Iliana hadn't even met this new Healer chick yet but at this point, she wasn't about to trust anyone with Jake's welfare. If she was going to keep him safe, it had to be done this way.
She returned Marcus' hug and relaxed her shoulders for the first time that day. "I know," she said quietly. Then she smiled and added, "I will." before pulling Jake's glasses out of his shirt pocket.

"Yeah I think so too. Maybe you could make a copy of that photo and give it to me" he chuckled as he headed for the door but hesitated when he heard Jake's voice.
He turned around and watched as he mumbled something in his sleep and the disappeared under the covers only to re-emerge at the other end of the bed. Marcus, chuckled softly, "Goodnight Jakester" he murmured as he opened the door of the hut and stepped outside and headed back to his office.
Standing in the doorway, Iliana glared playfully at Marcus and said, "Professor Lawson, don't encourage him." Then she waved goodbye to them both and closed the door.
Making her way across the room, Iliana checked on Jake one last time. Satisfied to see him fast asleep, she laid his glasses on the bedside table and headed off towards her own sleeping quarters.
