House crossed lovers.

Pounce. Pounce, come back! [Nepeta looked furtively about the dark halls, certain that Mr. Filch was going to pop out of the shadows at any moment. She usually considered herself a fairly adventurous person, and it wasn't as if she weren't breaking any bigger rules but she was walking a rather fine line here at Hogwarts. Unless it was for certain purposes, she'd rather keep a low profile if she could. Unfortunately it seem that Pounce had ideas of her own and she had gone zipping out when the portrait had opened.

It really was not like her to keep evading her like this. She was usually such an obedient cat, what was going on that had her so determined to get away? It seemed like she was headed somewhere specific too. Nepeta frowned, but continued her pursuit.]

We're down near the kitchens. [Which of course made for a lot of jokes of her house being full of puffy people. Really, you think they would come up with something a little more imaginative. Nevermind the fact that Nepeta often went into the kitchens to ask the elves for a snack or to teach her how to make food. Girl was like a dispenser.]

I really wonder who thought it would be a good idea to make these constantly changing stairs. It has almost made me late to my classes so many times. [In fact for the first couple days she pretty much WAS always late because she got so lost.] I bet half the rooms in this place aren't even used....but then again, that makes them fun to explore.

Kitchens, huh. Yeah, we're in one of the eastern towers higher up. [ Dave didn't really pay much mind to any of the jokes or insults the other students threw at each other. What little he'd heard wasn't exactly original. You wanted to insult someone, and have it stick, you should've thought up something new. ... Much like he did. ]

Vantas would probably know the answer to that question. It wouldn't surprise me if it was done as a defense mechanism. We can't navigate the halls, but neither could an invader. [ He shrugs. He's gotten the hang of traveling the halls by now, but the first week he was only on time anywhere because he put his agility to good use. ] Plenty of rooms are locked up and used more for storage, I think.

Karkat knows the answer to everything. [She gave a small roll of her eyes, but secretly she was envious. She wished things could come as easy to her as they seemed to come to Karkat.]

Well, maybe not everything, but sometimes it sure feels like it.

[She finally set Pounce down so she could follow at her leisure.] One day I'd like to figure out just what it is they keep holed up in here. I bet there is all sorts of cool stuff. We should go check some of them out one day, when it's not after hours.
