The Inspection
On the whole, the weather had been temperamental lately. One minute, it was absolutely bucketing it down, and the next, it was bright sunshine. The amount of rain had turned the ground into a muddy mess, but at least the tents provided perfectly adequate shelter, and a gazebo had been erected over the community dining table to protect everyone from the elements.
Despite the temperamental weather, however, it had been fairly warm throughout the past two weeks, so the chill in the air during dinner that evening was particularly noticeable, even before the dark, hooded figure by the Ministry's representative's desk had been seen.
Nervously, the Ministry representative approached the table.
"I'm afraid we have a visitor," he said, addressing everyone at the table and hoping that anyone not there could hear him. "This is a Dementor, one of the Guards at Azkaban. It's a high security prison. He's just here to, well, ensure that a certain escaped criminal isn't hiding amongst you.
"I don't expect he'll be here for more than an half an hour, so do try not to worry too much. They can make people rather, well... uncomfortable."
Bowing his head slightly, he left the Outsiders to their meal.
[And so, a Dementor is lurking around the camp, just in case one of the Outsiders is secretly Sirius Black. They're known to sap the happiness out of the environment, and - in cases where there are true horrors in someone's past - cause traumatic memories to resurface.
The chilly, depressed feeling can be lifted by the deliciousness of chocolate, though the Outsiders will need to discover this on their own. Good thing there's dessert.]

no subject
[He stares at her blankly for a moment, but as he thinks, it registers in his head what she's talking about. That defensiveness begins to border on straight panic.]
H-How do... you know...?!
no subject
[She can't even imagine that it would not be.]
If there is a creature here that caused it, we should know.
no subject
[He looks terrified now, even beyond before, but he's so afraid he can't even move now.]
...No. F...From home...
no subject
I have no intention of causing anyone to bring harm to you.
[Including herself, but phrasing.]
no subject
....
[Sorry, Lenneth, he doesn't look like he believes you.]
no subject
[Not quite a question, not quite a statement. Certainly an observation, thoughtfully-phrased.]
no subject
....
[He runs his hands backwards through his hair, but the odd placement of them makes it look more like he's trying to mimic the wings on her helm.]
no subject
[Unlikely. But not impossible.]
...What do you see?
no subject
[It's a small word, but he's looking... well, right at your armor, Lenneth. It seems he can see it fairly clearly...
Especially when he mimics the wings again.]
no subject
[That is dangerous, but not disastrous. Well-aware that she might be underestimating this child, she nevertheless has no desire to cause him any grief.]
I will keep your secret if you will keep mine.
no subject
Promise! I won't... tell anyone.
no subject
But if this is a world of magic, keep your eyes open. A cure may exist. You would be wise not to let fear prevent you from seeking it.
no subject
Can... it be...?
no subject
no subject
I... I'd... be really happy... if it would... go away...
[And here comes a bout of tears.]
no subject
The true test of a soul is not in the quiet peace of home. To forge a sword, you must pass it through fire.
no subject
...What does a sword have to do with it...?
