Luckily, that wasn't necessary. He spied her as he made his way down the hall, and hurried to catch up with her. She was just standing there, looking at something... upon reaching her, Raiden grabbed her arm and roughly turned her to face him.
"What are you playing at?" he demanded, pointing down the hall toward the staircase, his right hand still on her upper arm. "I don't care if you're losing your mind or not, there's no good reason for you to have just done that."
Obviously she'd done something. Set the latch to break upon command, or shot off a spell at it from the staircase. Something. Anything. There was no other way she could know the thing would bust, was there.
Cela's eyes widened and when Raiden grabbed her arm, her hand spasmed, the paper bag drifting to the floor in all its fresh, tear stained glory. She flicked her eyes quickly in the direction he indicated, her expression genuinely puzzled. He meant... her walking off? Maybe?
"
I... didn't think you wanted to talk anymore." Cela managed a choked little whisper , screwing up the tissue in her free hand. Thats why she'd left. That and to get some bruise healing paste, which she'd do when she got to her common room.
