The Silent Z
Just Here
Roderick looked to Jade and watched her sit on the edge of her bed, listening to her respond and feeling a sadness while trying to find his thoughts and see, think a bit more clearly. He had no plan, no strategy to offer.... No tactics of any kind. It wasn't like quidditch, it wasn't like duel club and practice. They're was no second chances, they're was no room to fail and grow. He felt useless and a mess, his mind still clearing up and while the pain lowered and treatment took effect and started to do something for him, he wasn't certain of what to say next or if he should. He was glad to see Jade calming down and allowing for time to rest and pull together with a goal of learning information and forming a plan. Oh how he wished he had a time turner for moments like this, but he didn't and it was only wishful thinking in after thought of what had happened. He opened his mouth seemingly several times but no words came out, nothing seemed right to say or seemed the best time for it. Finally after awhile passed since Jade said "Okay." And the silence filled the room, he shook his head and smiled.... He wasn't sure why, the thoughts he had in mind were varied, scattered and were both sad and memories a bit more cheery. Perhaps it was the cheery memories that brought a smile to him, he wasn't sure. A mixture of emotions running inside and swelling up trying to keep them in check, while a part of him wanted to let loose and get it off his chest. But finally he spoke with a simple and calm tone and response "Okay."
As he laid there in his bed and looked to the ceiling, Roderick turned his head and gaze and looked toward the girl who had walked up and asked for guidance to the headmasters office, he hadn't seen her before and would likely not be allowed to help guide her in his state with madam Pomfrey giving him a look to stay put. While he also knew it wouldn't have been good to push himself to much and after he just mentioned rest. He smiled and looked to Madam Pomfrey and Madden then toward James, "Normally I would love to help ya miss, but I'm a bit banged up and wouldn't be much help to ya right now. But I could give directions if you would like or perhaps they could help you as well," Roderick replied with a kind tone and smile.
