Kiri sat on her own at one of the tables, staring blankly into space. That, she was doing quite literally. The lily pads had only captured her attention for a short time. The beetles the professor pointed out were not visible to Kiri, and she'd found her eyes starting to hurt as she looked and looked into the near-complete darkness around the pond.

Her gaze had drifted off to the horizon, then higher, and even higher than that, and she'd slid down in her chair further and further... And now her head was resting on the back of the chair, and she was looking upwards into the starry night sky, only vaguely aware that this was not what she was supposed to be doing. Professor Bunbury was busy with a lot of other students, though, and even some professors... The garden party (it was even called a party) had such an informal atmosphere to it that she didn't feel too bad about it. Until she would be discovered, of course.
