Everyone knew that.
Plymouth sat back on his knees and beamed like a proud momma at Kazimeriz. He was going to be just fiiiine. Plymouth was sooooo glad, too. He waited for more instruction - since, you know, Plymouth was part hero now.
Merlin, that was manly. Vindictus must have been so proud.
Kazimeriz sat, utterly stunned as Plymouth "his-children's-children's-children-will-spend-Hogwarts-in-detention" Morgan actually. HUGGED. him. And then sat there beaming at him like they were best pals or something! Freezing, wet, having spent all that time treading water, the stress of being trapped and then being yanked about by Vindictus, the super-stress of being 'treated' at the scene by Plymouth "Florence Nightengale" Morgan... and knowing there was still sounds of another student in the water... it all became too much for the old man. The world around him swam bright and brilliant and then faded... First grey, then black.
Kazimeriz collapsed.
