Uhhoo. Professor Kennedy was using his professor tone. Noelle's face went from amused to serious. When someone brought that tone of voice out, they meant business.

"Z...' Noelle started to try and get her up and standing but the professor was already taking points. "You are out of your dorm now aren't you? it's past curfew. " Noelle said softly. She didn't want to escalate the situation.

As for the book.

Noelle looked at the professor. Technically, it was his property. He was the librarian. And if he felt that she wasn't taking care of the book properly, he had every right to take the book back. And by Little Z's diffusion... it sounded like she wanted to.... absorb the book? Heh. Noelle bit her cheek to keep her facial expression serious because it was just like Little Z to think she could absorb information from a book while sleeping on it... without reading it.

"Zoryn...' Noelle said, motioning her up. "I think I have some books on diffusion. Actually I have quite a few books. They are in my dorm though. We can look at them tomorrow if you'd like. It's past curfew. " She'd let Professor Kennedy decide what he wanted to do with that book.
