Just before she could round the corner, Kirse felt something... off. She stopped in her tracks and sure enough, after silencing her own steps, she could hear a familiar pattern of another's from the left turn of the hall. The fact that it was coming down the same way as her room only helped to confirm her suspicion.<br/><br/>She quietly took a step back, then turned on her heel to go back the way she came. Kirse had little desire to interact with a certain "friend" today. It might have been a futile move, considering she was already at the hallway connection, but if she walked quickly enough she might be able to duck outside before Aiden caught up with her. Or if she was really lucky, he'd walk right by without noticing.<br/><br/>But if he did notice, oh, joy. She pinched the bridge of her nose, already imagining what stupid antics he could have planned for today. More than likely, at least one part of it would involve finding some way to bother her into another fit of rage. If only she had the permission to strangle him and get away with it, life would be so much easier. Glancing back up to find the exit in front of herself, Kirse reached out and pushed it open just a crack before glancing back over her shoulder to check for that fiend.
