SPOILER!!:

Well, that was a stupid reason given for a stupid request.

It had not taken very long to discover, over the past few years, that upon questioning an adult on their motives, he would usually get an answer of 'because I said so', or similar. It had taken him considerably less time to realise that they generally did so as a way of flaunting their authority status, or simply because they were not intelligent enough to think of a better answer, or sometimes both. What was less easy to figure out was which of these were in were in play at any given time. Dakest did not strike Daxton as the stupid type, but he had, admittedly, been wrong about people before.

He eyed the professor now, very carefully, scrutinising him and weighing up his options. A glance to the older boy beside him allowed Daxton to notice the look he was receiving, though the intention behind it was utterly lost on him. He stared blankly at Zander Adair for a moment, blinked, then looked back at Dakest.

The prospect of detention did not much bother the Ravenclaw, in the same way that the threat of losing points had no effect on him, but the promise of an uncomfortable detention was what swayed his decision. An uncomfortable detention, more time spent with the Head Boy... No. Thank. You.

Still, Daxton did not like this situation one bit, and he did not much trust it either. After a long lingering suspicious look at Adair and then Dakest, he slowly and very reluctantly raised his arm as well, glaring at his professor with such intensity that if looks could kill, the man would already be ashes in the wind.

So it really didn't help matters when Prince continued to chip away. Letting out a breath, Sabel gave the script on the page the briefest consideration before his eyes went up to the boy. "Because I am asking. Unless you would rather detention together?" Seriously boys, that could be arranged. "I can promise you, it won't be the least bit comfortable."

And the Head Boy, for that matter, he'd be the one getting the backlash. He knew that very well, thanks. And no, he did not want to get into any more trouble over something he didn't deserve to be in trouble for in the first place. So yes, he was going to stick his arm out and ask questions later. Duh. ... Except Daxton was holding them all up. Surprise. See Professor, clearly this kid was the one with the issues. S I G H. NO. NO. NO Zander Adair DID NOT want to spend a detention together. Furthermore, how come if Daxton refused they'd BOTH be in detention? This was SO unfair. Zander was OBEYING. He was doing what he was supposed to. He DIDN'T deserve a detention. That was on DAXTON. So the Gryffindor turned to give Daxton a look. The sort of look that said, 'you better do what he says and put your arm up, kid' because Zander Adair just needed to find Damien and rant or something. This was so unfair.
