Daemon nodded, eating in silence for a moment before asking, "So. What are you going to tell the others when we get back?"

Autumn grimaced as that thought entered her mind. "As little as I can. I mean, Jasper will find out since I can't block him out forever, then he'll tell Logan, but hopefully no one else will have to know," she said. She poked at one of the croutons in her salad before sighing. "It won't work, though. I'll have to tell them everything."

"I think they'll just be glad you're safe," Daemon said lamely, because starcrossed was unsure of what else to say.

Autumn snorted. "Not likely," she said. "They might like you a little more for saving me and actually hold a conversation with you, but they'll all converge on me and dish out the biggest lecture I've ever heard."

Daemon chuckled and said, "That does sound rather more realistic."

Autumn continued to poke at her food as she thought. "It almost might be better if I fall asleep before we get there," she said. "That way they can cool down for a little bit. And no one would even dare accuse you because both Jasper and Layali would be able to tell that I was alive."

Daemon nodded and agreed, "I could carry you."

Autumn looked over at him and smiled. "It's a plan then," she said.

Daemon polished off his burger quickly, and then sat back to wait patiently for Autumn to finish her food.

Autumn tried to finish off her food as quickly as she could, trying not to dwell on the fact that Daemon was agreeing to carry her at some point. When she was done, she put her plate and cup back on the tray and got up to throw it away.

Daemon got up and dumped his cup and burger wrapper as well, then opened the door for her, asking, "You ready?"

Autumn nodded. "Yeah," she said before yawning as she passed him to go through the door. She chuckled. "I guess I'm more tired than I thought."

Daemon smiled and said, "Just let me know when you want to be carried."

Autumn nodded. "I'll wait as long as I can I think," she said. "That way everyone will be fairly calm by the time I wake up."

"You don't even have to let them know you're back until tomorrow," Daemon pointed out. "You have one more day before they panic."

"You know I can't do that," Autumn said with a sigh. "Jasper will rally them as soon as I'm back within range."

"You don't have to go within range," Daemon suggested. "You could stay in Hogsmeade or something for the night, to rest up before having to deal with them."

Autumn hesitated. "I guess," she said. "As long as we come up with a decent enough explanation."

Daemon laughed and asked, "'We'?"

Autumn raised an eyebrow. "You really think that I'm going to be able to come up with anything?" she asked. "I tried to get out of that stupid room for two days and had nothing. I need your help."
