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.

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.

It was rather easy to ignore and dismiss the looks he was getting from both students. Perhaps if one hadn't shoved the other, and if one hadn't exhibited less decorum than was necessary, then they could all have traveled to the great hall for a bite to eat. As it was, a second lesson was in effect, as soon as all mandatory participants well...participated.

When at last Prince decided that he would comply, Sabel let out a breath he hadn't realized he had been holding. "Thank you."

And then, before either boy could think of retracting his arm or second guessing his decision, Sabel looped one end of the sash around Prince's extended wrist and tied it in place. The other end of the sash was looped and tied around Adiar's wrist. So, while they were bound together, they could still get about a foot or two apart. Proximity, wasn't entirely breached.

Taking a step back, Sabel looked between the boys. "Now, fairly simple. Keep that on." Really, he had a good guess as to what would happen the second he turned his back. "And you are to complete the obstacle course in the DADA practice hall, together. I don't care how you do it, as long as you stay attached until you are finished."

They could be at the very ends of the sash for all he cared, with the fabric taut between them, as long as they made it through. He was more interested in fixing the issue of communication and trust, though there was a nagging thought that this might also be the best way to break those two concepts completely. Either way, it was done. Task was set. And he was sure he'd be getting some more withering glares.

"Questions?"
