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?"

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.

Daxton had seen it coming - any idiot would have, though he was certainly no idiot - but that did not mean he was happy with the conversation in the slightest. While Dakest used the sash to link their arms, Daxton gritted his teeth hard and looked off in another direction entirely. He could not help but tense up - Dakest was too close too close too close and he did not like it one bit - and even when the man stepped away the Ravenclaw did not relax, not one iota. The only redeeming part of this was that the sash was not tied with magic, so he would be able to get himself free at any moment, and he fully intended that moment to be soon.

While Dakest spoke, Daxton kept his gaze fixed at a point away from either him or the Head Boy, his jaw set, chest visibly rising and falling as he took deep, steadying breaths. Calm, he needed to remain calm. Nobody could see him not calm, not if he could help it.

Daxton lowered his arm again, the movement sharp and deliberate, intended to jerk the older boy's hand as uncomfortably as possible, as it was all his fault they were in this situation in the first place, and now he was trapped, tied to him. He hated this. He hated him.

An obstacle course while tied together? Yes, because that was so smart. Not dangerous at all. Surely there were some sort of health and safety regulations that were being breached here, breached along with Daxton's precious personal space.

Daxton had been trying to tune them both out, to forget they were there, to zone out entirely. It was the only way he thought he would be able to get through that stupid obstacle course with this Gryffindor attached to his arm, but he was unable to ignore the sash tied around his wrist. Daxton looked down at it now, and while the Head Baby asked his stupid question (except not that stupid, because Daxton wanted to know the answer too, but he was not about to admit it), he tugged at the material, trying to loosen it, to free his wrist up just a little, and to make sure he could get it off when the opportunity eventually arose, make it easier to slip away.

Still he did not acknowledge Professor Dakest or Head Boy Zander Adair, but he absolutely took the opportunity to give the sash a good jerk a couple of times, to make his frustration regarding the matter well known, while not affording either of them his direct attention. It was clearly not a tug that signalled for the older boy to come closer, but a sign of Daxton's deep displeasure, expressed in the only way he knew how, much like when he had shoved Adair not too long ago.

What, exactly, was the point in any of this? That may have been Daxton's question, but he was ignoring Dakest now, and would not allow himself to ask anything.
