there's a fire starting in my heart
reaching a fever pitch
It had been...quite an eventful couple of hours. If that. Honestly, the whole lack of natural light made it nearly impossible to tell how much time had passed. It certainly felt like a while, but his perception of time was shit at the moment. Between seeing Cera’s dead body, trying to desperately barricade the door, finally burning down the Rathskellar to destroy the monsters that had gotten inside, getting plastered, and then everything that had followed with Sunjata and Lusea, he was in a bit of a dazed state as he processed it all.He was also filthy: his shirt was gone, his pants were mostly gone, he'd lost his boots and socks somewhere along the way, he was covered in ash, blood, sweat, and other substances, all coating parts of his skin in an ungodly and sticky mess. After communicating as best he could to Remi what had gone down, the summoner realized he should probably get cleaned up before anything else.
However, he wasn’t quite ready to answer questions—about his state, about what had happened, about anything, really—so he’d crept around, grabbing some fresh clothes, a bucket of water, and some rags. Hopefully no one was the wiser as he stealthily made his over to the college. It was much more secluded and less crowded than the main part of the Temple. Plus there was probably a place to ditch bloody and burned clothes there.
Given that he was quite a sight, and given that he was still stumbling a bit from the alcohol and all the exertions, he hadn’t gone entirely unnoticed. Unfortunately, he himself did not notice that fact as he made his way up to the second floor and into an empty classroom. Opening and closing the door as best he could with his burden and in his intoxicated state (he was coming down from the buzz, but there was still a happy glow) he dumped the objects he was carrying on the desk there. Then he stripped off his pants so he was just in his undergarments, picked up a rag, wet it, and started cleaning his arms.
and it's bringing me out the dark
