He was HUNGRY.
Sierra's brown eyes flickered toward the Claw. Had he even said his name yet? ... Had
she? Eh. Introductions were for Puffers.
"I happen to like the dungeons," she said.
"The darker and dingier, the less likely you are to be bothered." In her opinion, the founders should have stuck the Puffers in the towers with the Ravenclaws and Gryffindors. Then the Slytherins wouldn't have to worry about any of them.
"My...dear?" she asked. She hated names like that. He was leaving, though, which didn't phase her one way or the other really.
"Me, too." Meaning, she had to get going, too. She gathered all her materials then headed out, as well.

Hours later, when it was good and dark out, Sierra headed back up to the Observatory. This time, though, she was lugging a nocturnal instrument instead of a sundial. Now this was the instrument she really didn't understand, but...she'd just figure something out.
She moved back into nearly the same place she'd been at earlier, when she'd been testing the sundial. She plopped the nocturnal instrument down then just stared at it. So what was she supposed to do now?
