Hearing the announcement Astrid sighed. She was freezing parts of her anatomy really hurt and she just wanted to leave. She glanced at Rogers who seemed perfectly distracted then around to the guards who seemed to be watching everything as the older students departed this was it her only shot to get lost in the crowd and disappear for a few moments. With nibble fingers she fumbled around behind her neck looking for the link between the collar and the leash. After several agonizing moments she found it and quietly unlatched it and equally as quiet lowered the chain leash to the ground.<br/><br/>Then walking with the older students as if she belonged with them Astrid stayed with the crowd till they passed where her dorm building was then broke off and tried to slip inside. If she was lucky the older students would provide the cover she needed to make it all the way to her room without anyone noticing a thing.
