He couldn’t remember a thing after he fell, but he was sure that Professor Marchand got involved right after he lost consciousness. Was it his fault? Yes. If only he’d been aware of the books’ loan period, he would’ve returned them at an earlier date. He panicked, he rushed, and he got into an accident. His fault.
Jace blinked and slowly lifted his head when Professor Marchand called out his name. The thirteen year old was almost too scared to look at the man, fearing that he will get reprimanded for the trouble he had caused. However, that was not the case. Jace began to loosen up, and his jaw slowly unhinged itself. What...what...what is going on? Why...why was he blaming himself? And...was that even normal for a professor? Jace found himself speechless and just stared at Professor Marchand openly. That...was not expected at all. “S-sensei!” The half-Japanese’s eyes grew big as saucers, alarmed at what he was saying. “N-no! No it wasn’t your fault. You didn’t know it was going to happen in the first place!” At that point, Jace has lost control of his emotions, letting panic override his thoughts. “Please professor, don’t blame yourself. If there’s someone to blame...it’s...it’s me.” Jace felt faint as he said those words, and he closed his eyes to catch his breath. A busted forehead, broken arm, and a racing heart; not a good combination at all. “We’re safe now, professor. I’m sure this is nothing serious. Healer Joy can fix us up.” He said as he looked around, assuming that Healer Joy had busied herself with collecting all the potions that she needed for the two of them. “My sincerest apologies, Professor Marchand. And thank you for helping me and Owen out there.” He said bowing his head towards his teacher. Quote:

Once inside the hospital wing Joy showed Jace to a bed allowing him a few moments to get settled in. While he was doing this she did take a few moments to return to her storage room and gather what she would need to help heal him more effectively. This only took a few minutes, long enough that he should be settled in by the time she got to the bed. "Ah, Professor Marchand, so glad you decided to join us," Joy smiled warmly at him. It was much easier then having to hunt the man down to heal his injuries after taking care of the younger Ravenclaw. Hearing what was being said between the professor and student a small frown crossed her face. "Oh my, no no, you are both not to blame here. This is all on those pesky poltergeist. You two best believe I will be speaking with the Headmaster when I'm through here." Three injuries from those pests in a matter of minutes. Something needed to be done! "Mr. Reed, here's another potion for you. This one will help relieve any discomfort you're feeling and allow you to relax, get some sleep even if you like." She passed the boy the vial and then got a cup of water to wash it down with for him. Once the potion was taken she could effectively continue healing his injuries so that he could simply rest. Then she would move on to checking over Gaston.
Gaston could barely bring himself to look at the young Ravenclaw. He half-expected the boy to be angry at him for letting this happen - and he wouldn't have blamed him one bit if he was - but instead there was only panic in his eyes and in his voice. Had he caused that? Now he felt even guiltier than ever!
He could barely believe his ears as this brave boy who hardly batted an eye at his own injury practically begged him not to blame himself for what had happened. Well, this was ironic... a student trying to comfort a professor. It was supposed to be the other way around! Gaston tried to assume a calm facade for Jace's sake, but the Ravenclaw's words touched his heart and threatened his already tenuous hold on his emotions. Neither did you... he thought when the boy said he didn't know this would happen, but his injuries and and emotions made it impossible for him to speak. All he could do was stare at the floor for several moments, hoping no one would notice the tears he was blinking back. With a heavy sigh followed by a wince, Gaston finally forced himself to look up at the young Ravenclaw. "I-I was only doing my job. there's n-no need to thank me... and certainly no need to apologize!" he said. "N-now... please relax. Don't mind me..."
He managed a weak smile when Joy arrived and told him almost exactly the same thing he'd told Mr. Montezor earlier. it seemed he had a hard time taking his own advice! "Maybe I should come back later..." he said, blushing in embarrassment at his moment of weakness. All he was doing here was putting everyone on edge and making everything worse!
