((She would probably tell her friends and him that she would be back within a certain time. Then Logan would start freaking out and Daemon would probably say that he's got it covered then run after her. That's what I think anyway. If you have a different idea, that's fine.))
Autumn smiled softly. "I have to be if I live in this place," she said. "I happen to think it's a good kind of crazy."

[Oooo, yeah, that's good!] Daemon chuckled quietly and said, "That is true." The song ended, and he added, "Well, I'd best not steal you away for too long. Your friends will be getting anxious." Layali had joined the group, wearing this, and in between practically squealing over the fact that Elena's baby was kicking, she glanced concernedly over at Autumn and Daemon.

((Thanks! I've been in a real plotting mood lately. It's weird... I've been thinking a ton about the Lacey/Max story. I actually just posted on LJ about it... It's a lot like that first summary I sent you (I copy and pasted it then made changes), but there's some new stuff in there. Not much, but I'll add more soon.))
Logan had barely registered his girlfriend's entrance. He was too busy watching over Autumn, ready to pounce if Daemon so much as made her look uncomfortable. Autumn glanced over at her friends. She groaned, looking back at Daemon and resisting the urge to bury her face in the crook of his neck. "Why can't they all just realize that you're not going to hurt me?" she asked.

[Cool!]
Unconsciously starting to dance with her to the next song that came on, Daemon said grimly, "They don't know me. You don't know me. For all any of you know, they could be right."

((Yep! Those posts may end up being page long rants that come to no conclusions, but they'll be there.))
Autumn sighed, letting a small amount of her concentration be focused on the dance so that she didn't fall. "I know you better than they do," she said. "And you've had your chances to hurt me. But you haven't. So either you're going to drag me out all alone into the woods to dispose of me, or you're not going to do anything. At this point, I'm thinking the latter."

Daemon laughed softly and said, "At this point, the latter is more likely. As long as you don't go pissing off any money moguls or decide to turn me in to authorities. And I do still owe you for saving my life."

"I thought I already cashed in that debt," Autumn noted, confused. Hadn't he said that letting her see his mind was her payment? "And I won't turn you in or piss off money moguls. They'd probably try to pull something on me and I'd be forced to do something I'd regret more than turning you in."

"In part," Daemon agreed. "But it still weighs upon my.." His lips twitched into a small smile. "Call it my conscience, for argument's sake. I feel I have not fully repaid you. After all, you did also teach me much about my nature." He referred to the snake tooth, not wanting to speak of it directly in the middle of a crowd.

"I guess," Autumn said reluctantly. "I don't really think you need to worry about it as much as you are though. Helping people is basically part of who I am at this point. I wanted to help, so I did. That doesn't really seem worthy of a life debt."

Daemon shrugged and said, "Mine is a world where nothing is free."

"Well," Autumn said, trying to come up with something to say in response. "Well, I guess nothing really is here either. We just don't really call attention to it. And it's never a big affair."

Daemon thought for a moment, and then said suddenly, "Perhaps I could pay you the going rate for my death, and call my debt repaid. Would that be satisfactory?"

Isabella had just arrived to the academy a few minutes ago and was wandering around in the dark, quiet hallway. She heard a commotion coming from the dining hall and peeped through the crack of the 2 large doors, seeing there was a dance going on. Smirking slightly, she thought of ways to cause mischief and tapped her wand to change her appearance to this, entering the dining hall.

Autumn groaned. "Why do people insist on giving me money?" she said, frustrated and closing her eyes. Then she sighed and looked at him again. "No, I don't want the money. It wouldn't do me any good."

Layali looked up when Isabella entered and gave her a friendly half-smile.
Daemon shrugged and said, "I wouldn't miss it. I have more than I would ever actually need."

Isabelle smiled a bit at Layali as she made her way over to the punch bowl. Looking around to see if any teachers were watching, she poured half a bottle of whisky into the bowl. She put some in a cup to taste it, grinning in satisfaction.

"Seriously, I would have no idea what to do with it," Autumn said. "It's better if you keep it. It would make me happier if you kept it."

Daemon shrugged and said, "Alright, then I shall."
Elena glanced over in time to see the whiskey go into the punch, and gave a wistful sigh. "Oh, what I wouldn't give," she muttered. Layali shot her a stern look and Elena continued, "Oh, relax, I won't."

Autumn smiled. "Thank you," she said. "Because, as weird as it sounds, I really don't want it."
Jasper leaned down to kiss Elena's cheek and whispered, "Don't worry, I'll make it up to you somehow." Logan put his arm around Layali, still ignoring everyone and trying to make sure that Autumn was okay.
