"Stubborn ass." Bartholomew Samos said as he watched Hyght close the door on him. "You're just so damn stubborn!" He growled, turned on his heel and stormed off as his finger proceeded to glide across his scroll's keyboard. Bart was one of Hyght's only friends at Syne and with the way the former baker had been acting in the past couple weeks he was fed up with beating around the bush. Hyght needed to get over his funk and needed to get his head back on track otherwise he'd get kicked from the Academy or worse, get someone else killed during a training session or Hunt. Bart finished his message and scanned the student directory till he found the names he was looking for.
Hey, my name is Bart Samos. I'm a friend of Hyght's and I was hoping you two, being his roommates, would be able to help get him out of this funk he's in. I've been trying to give him time for the past couple weeks but it hasn't done any good except let him slip farther and farther into his funk. I know you don't know me but if you do this I'll owe both of you a huge favor. Please. He needs someone to get him to open up. Thanks, Bartholomew Samos.
Bart closed his scroll and took one final glance back toward Hyght's room before he sighed and walked off, his hands tucked into his pockets.

Hyght shut the door in Bart's face and laid back down on his bed. Once he was comfortable he realized he hadn't locked it and that Bart could just storm in if he wanted. His concern for that happening though wasn't quite as important as he thought it should be right now. All Hyght wanted was to be alone. He had to make sense of that dream. It had been weeks since he jolted awake in the middle of a class screaming in terror. Weeks since his closest friend Bart had asked him to explain more about the dream. Even though Hyght had explained what had happened(more or less) he just couldn't tell him more. It was far too hard for him to put into words. The fact he couldn't place the exact reason was only part of the issue. He hadn't heard any word from Mason in weeks either. While he knew it wasn't uncommon for that to be the case it made him very uneasy and caused him to worry. Especially since he killed Mason in his dream.
"ARG! STOP IT!" He roared and slapped his palms against his face. "Stop thinking about it!" Hyght was glad he was alone in his room right now. He didn't want to explain anything to his roommates about why he was slapping or talking to himself. Least of all Gricelda. Ever since the stuff that went down in the Faunus restaurant he hadn't been comfortable around her. He'd been angry. He'd been scared. Scared for himself and for his family. He wasn't sure if the Faunus that threatened him was telling the truth but he idnd't feel he should take that gamble. Just the thought made Hyght's skin pebble with goose flesh. If he tried hard enough he could still hear the Faunus' voice in his ear and its claws on his neck. With another snarl Hyght threw his pillow across the room and toward the door.
