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.

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?"

Merlin. What was taking the kid so long? Didn't Dakest SEE??? The real problem was that Daxton kid, clearly. Still, he kept his arm held out. Waiting for-- Ah. Nice of you to finally follow instructions, Daxton. Were they done now?

....
....

UH????

Okay, didn't Dakest literally JUST say that Daxton wasn't a fan of personal space breeches?

Great. So the kid hated being close to other people, why not just take a sash ~~that started this whole mess~~ and tie him to someone else so that they'd be FORCED to stay close. Absolutely BRILLIANT. And the worst bit was, Zander Adair had actually kind of seen this coming. Well, not really. But he knew that the arm thing was going to be some sort of test. They weren't just getting a detention. No, that'd be all too easy. And Dakest was like Airey. They were both people who liked to make things very not easy.

But the next bit was... Unexpected.

Obstacle course? So not only did they have to walk around whilst being attached by the arm. But they had to do an OBSTACLE course. Might as well just set the entire school on fire right now. It had to have been coming. Nothing seriously bad had happened at all this year. This was it. This was the Hogwarts plot. Tie Daxton Prince and Zander Adair together and see how long the school remains standing. Bets will start at ten galleons each. Choose wisely.

The Gryffindor glanced over at Daxton to see how the kid was taking all of this. Merlin. This was a terrible day. As for questions, Zander only had one: WHAT WAS THIS MEANT TO ACCOMPLISH? But instead, "Errr, what happens if we don't make it through to the end?" Just wondering.

Also still didn't understand why he was being punished when this was all Daxton's fault in the first place.
