With three exceptionally warm adults around him, Jace could not help but feel a bit suffocated. The young Ravenclaw was used to tending to his own injuries, and would get help discreetly if he needed one badly. This time around, it was very different. It was like his family’s eyes were on him. It did feel good, yes, but the boy could not shake off the embarrassment. The tension however, died down a bit when Jace saw Professor Marchand went back to sit down on the overstuffed armchair. He didn’t look good at all, and his groan sounded way too familiar to the boy. It was the sound of a man suffering an injury. Albeit the professor being in pain, Jace nodded to him and muttered his thanks for staying beside him. Besides, he didn’t want to be left alone with Professor Hirsch...yet. “Arigatou, sensei.” He said bowing his head once to the Charms Professor.

The Ravenclaw drew in another breath, as Professor Marchand took notice of the clay in his hand. Hiding it from Professor Hirsch’s view would be useless, given that Professor Marchand’s attention was on it already. Jace could feel his heartbeat quicken, sparing his Head of House a very quick glance. “Uhm...yes...please. I would appreciate it very much.” Jace then placed his smashed clay golem on the night stand beside his bed.

His attention then shifted when Healer Joy took his injured arm, and began to fix it. He couldn’t feel anything at first, until there was a tingling sensation. He kept his brown eyes on his arm as he watched it straighten up again without feeling any pain. That was it? Healed already? Jace’s face was graced with a tired grin as he looked at Healer Joy. “Arigatou gozaimasu, sensei.” He said inclining his head toward her. Jace began to open and close his hand, while his right hand carefully massaged his mended limb.

The Ravenclaw finally tuned all of his attention to his Head of House, but he couldn’t properly look back at his Defence Professor. Jace saw the smile, but he couldn’t help but feel that the man was just being civil in front of the other two adults in the room. Surely, he will get a word or two from him the moment he steps out of the Hospital Wing. “It...it feels a bit numb professor...” Jace pretty much mumbled to himself, too afraid to show his face to the professor. Why? If news already reached his Head of House, he was sure that the news has reached the Headmaster as well. All this time, the Ravenclaw was very careful not to get involved in such situations. Mustering all the pride that he got, Jace assumed the kneeling position on the bed, both hands on his lap and his head inclined to his Head of House. “I’m sorry I worried you, Professor Hirsch.” The Ravenclaw could feel his disappointment form inside him. He knew he’s no longer a child, and because of his carelessness, he was able to bother such a busy man. Jace stayed in that uncomfortable position, and listened as the adults discussed amongst themselves.
