Lilia quirked his head to the side, prompting Silver to continue on. However, just as the ethereal male open his mouth to speak, someone barged into the room with wide eyes, a look of panic present on his face. "MASTER LILIA!!!!! LORD MALLEUS IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND!!!!!" The lime green haired male screamed in distress, Silver flinching at the sheer volume of his voice.

The aurora eyed male gave him the side eyes. "Quiet, Sebek. Don't be so loud." He chastised in his usual soft tone. Lilia only continued smiling. "Listen to Silver, child. I can still hear perfectly fine." He said with a cheeky wink.

Sebek flushed in embarrassment. "P-Pardon my outburst!" He apologized with his hand to his chest, "After yesterday's turmoil, I thought of doing more patrols for fear of Lord Malleus being attacked, but... I did not see Lord Malleus when I checked his room earlier...!" He explained nervously.

Silver nodded. "Sebek says he was patrolling Lord Malleus's room every ten minutes... I tried to warn against it because it might cause you trouble." He said with a shrug. Sebek snapped his head to glare at him. "Unbelievable, Silver! We simply cannot let Lord Malleus become a target!!" He cried.

"Calm yourself, Sebek," prompted the pale fae, "Have we not already established that the Gatekeeper is not our enemy? They may not be hostile, but they are an ally to no one as well. Though they show no mercy, they do not practice favoritism." A sly smirk crossed his face. "Unless dear Y/N managed to charm them as well." He added on.

The two younger boys blinked, unsure of how to respond before Silver ultimately spoke up to his fellow knight. "Sebek, Father understands them better than we do. Keep yourself available for when the situation is really dire instead." He advised.

A tick mark appeared over Sebek's head as his eye twitched. "Urk... I do not need you to tell me that! However, I have been tasked with guarding Lord Malleus and I have failed!!!" Lilia waved a hand in dismissal. "You need not worry. He must have gone out for his nightly stroll. I have an idea where he might be. I will go and check on him, so you children get some rest now." He said before standing up with a bounce.

Sebek saluted. "UNDERSTOOD!!" He shouted. Silver only bobbed his head tiredly, drowsiness beginning to take over him. "Yes." He mumbled before stumbling into his room filled to the very brim with alarm clocks - Sebek begrudgingly going into his own room for a restless sleep.

Meanwhile, Lilia took himself to the place he knew for a fact that Malleus would be. After all, this had become a popular spot for many of the boys on campus.

He'd heard of some of the Heartslabyul boys sitting around the destroyed living room couch, all oddly quiet. The two first years, still with bandages, looking at the front door with an expectant look, waiting for someone to come in - particularly someone with (E/C) eyes. His fellow vice-housewarden stayed slumped in a seat, head down as he drummed his fingers against his arm in a stiff manner. As for his Pop Music club friend, well he lay against the armrest of the couch, scrolling through his phone like usual but always going back to his photo gallery to look at pictures containing a certain girl.

Some of the debris had been cleaned up though. The dirty blonde hyena had come back once or twice with a broom, slowly sweeping the dust up with a dejected look. The white haired wolf, on the other hand, took on the more manual labor job, picking up larger pieces of the broken walls and furniture to throw out, every once in a while gritting his teeth in a guilty anger.

The Octavinelle twins had come by to survey the mess, walking around with blank faces. Occasionally the calmer one would pick up an item that had fallen, observe it for a minute, then place it back into it's rightful place. The other one would be pouting, sometimes even glaring at debris along the floor before sulking away on the couch.
