Yeah.

First of all, how are you?

You seemed off in Transfig.

Yeah, everything just weird right now. Reckon that goes without saying though. [. . .] Just kinda rethinking everything and thinking maybe I'm just crazy.

You doing okay, though?

Crazy? Seems to me you've got a pretty sensible head on your shoulders. What makes you say that?

I'm [...] okay. Little frustrated, I guess. Ebonhide is so out of the way, hard to work the buddy-buddy system all the time.

Workin myself crazy thinking on how to say "either there's something in them woods that ain't no kid in no trick or treat getup, or I was visited by demons in them woods."

You got Nate and Maggie, sure they'll work something out for y'all.

Demons? ~~Isn't that a little dra~~ Did you see someone? I mean, something didn't feel right, but I wouldn't go that far.

Yeah, we'll make it work. ~~I just~~

Well they had horns. Or antlers. Like how you always imagine demons and devils got in them bible stories. When I woke up they was all around me. And they tried to say something but it didn't make no sense. And then when I tried to sit up from the ground they was all gone.

I mean this is what I mean. Sounds damn crazy don't it.

Damn, Wes, why didn't you say somethin?

Believe me when I say I'm not trying to call you a liar, but are you sure you weren't dreaming?

Wait. Are you saying that you didn't leave ou your tent on purpose? Like, you hadn't hopped to another tent before someone/thing dragged you out there?

Probably cause everybody already causing a ruckus over this masked killer nonsense and it ain't like they gonna believe me neither if even you don't.

Cause that don't explain how someone even pulled me on outta the tent without waking you up at all.

Nope. Alls I know is I went to sleep with you and that's kinda a sudden onset of sleepwalking.

I'm sorry. I just assumed you'd left me on your own accord.

I didn't say I don't believe you, Wes. Just trying to make sense of it all, same as you.

And it ~~don't~~ doesn't make sense. I don't sleep heavy. Never have.

Nah I wouldn't have done nothing like that.

I was an unexpected guest, is all. I just thought [...]

Nevermind. I'm sorry.

Well. Now you know why I didn't tell nobody. Clearly wouldn't have made no difference no how.

I don't sleep that heavy neither. Coulda been one of them damn fools out there with us messing around with sleep powder or something but who knows. Speculating don't help nothing.

For what?

Sure it would have. We didn't even check the woods. I wish you'd said something. I thought I was the only one going crazy.

I think it's worth a bit of speculating. That's not so farfetched. You know how Trixie likes to tamper with things. Maybe Levi was up to something? I don't know.

For assuming.

Before I could say anything we was packing up to get on outta there so teachers probably know something they don't wanna tell us.

Wouldn't surprise me none, damn buncha couillons out there with us. But even I can't brew no sleep potion that good and usually you wake up real nice and rested when that's the case. Felt real foggy and weird waking up out there. It don't make no sense.

I mean I guess I can't really fault you for that none. But no, sure didn't leave willingly, in case you couldn't tell.

I just figured they were mad at us for pulling more pranks, after everything that's been going on here on campus. But, you're right, they were acting strange. I'll see Mr. Covington tonight at Equestrian Club. Want me to ask him about it?

Yeah. Can't say I was exactly chipper when I woke up, neither. I ~~wanted to th~~ thought it was maybe just the cold.

Can't say you're the easiest person to read, Wes.

Maybe, if you wanna. He probably trusts you more than he trusts me.

Coulda been. Mostly I was just damn confused.

~~I did try to kiss you tho~~ I can work on that maybe.
