The sound of the door clicking shut made Sylvia's heart finally ease.
Damon stood outside slowly. He turned to the others. "Let's get to bed…"
Sylvia nodded her head while the others all looked at Damon without saying anything. Leona opened her mouth to say something but… Sylvia shook her head.
She looked at Damon.
"Let's go to sleep."
He nodded slowly…
As they walked past the dining hall, by the hearth, Sylvia subtly picked up a paper and a quill when no one was looking. She tucked it under her arm and walked quietly in the middle of her friends.
Carefully, she scribbled something and shoved it into Xander's hand. He frowned a bit but wordlessly squeezed it into his arm, holding it tight without even reading its contents. He wasn't stupid—if she was handing him a hidden note, then clearly, she couldn't speak out loud.
Damon and Xander stopped outside the room that belonged to the two boys. Damon looked at Sylvia.
"Good night…"
