Was this a joke? He hesitated for a second. She seemed serious enough. "Thanks." He mumbled, looking down at his bright blue socks with dandelions on them. His favorite Spring socks. "I don't remember coming out of the portal." He added. He didn't really remember anything until he was in the hospital wing and healer Reed came to meet them. He was surprised he was sharing information with the Head Girl. Not that he didn't trust her it was just... He knew he had to be careful what to say to people, he already was the weird kid.

"And I couldn't stay in the hospital wing for the rest of the year." That was all he wanted. Was that really too much to ask? It was already April and healer Reed wouldn't even notice he was there, apart from the occassional tugging on the healer's robes.

He was safe in the hospital wing. Or at least, safer than he felt everywhere else. No place was really safe from the monster...

Shudder.
He was a sweet kid and Nat felt bad for him. He had a lot of trauma with that portal. She couldn't imagine what he went through. What they all went through. She just watched him and listened. "You don't? " Had it all been a blur to him or was his mind blocking things out to help him cope? She was interested in finding out, but she wasn't going to pry either. "I was standing there and I guess I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time because Rooney puked all over me.' She said this to maybe make him smile a little. As gross as it was the head girl being puked on had to be funny to an extent to some.

"You don't have to worry about anything now. You are safe and that's all that matters and I'll make sure you stay that way. I can make sure to be your escort around the castle if you would like. We can meet right here each morning." She put a comforting arm around him. She wanted to make sure he knew he had people around him that would help him and watch his back. He wasn't in this alone.

She could understand not wanting to leave the hospital. "Well here can be just as safe as the hospital. I promise." She'd prove it to him somehow even if she had to sleep on the common room couch where she could hear him yell if need be.
