Isaac was not the only one sitting out of the Halloween festivities, but Hawke was abstaining for different reasons, reasons that mostly involved him being a gigantic wet blanket.

Tonight, however, he at least had a reason to be out and about, albeit not in costume. After last year's zombie episode, Hawke was not too keen on having something like that happen again, and had left his dorm with the intent to patrol. Partly because it was a nice night...but partly because he wanted to hedge his bets and make sure there weren't rampaging zombies again.

He saw Isaac's shadow from around the corner and instantly tensed, wondering why the figure was so still. Hawke knew it was probably just a student, but better safe than sorry, and put his back against the wall, taking a deep breath before springing around the corner.

It was just a student, after all. "Oh."
