Sage honestly doesn't know how to keep himself out of trouble. He'd made a post which he'd thought would be taken in stride, and it ended up slapping him in the face. Now he was at risk for more punishment, when this was supposed to be a relaxing trip away from that damned school. Sage groaned, rolling out of bed, shrugging on his long winter coat, pulling on his warm furry gloves and slipping his feet into some cute fur boots his mother had bought him for the cold (never mind socks). He made it outside of his shared cabin with only five seconds to spare, and let out a soft sigh of relief. The teacher would certainly not feel inclined to let him off the hook if he was late-- if he could feel inclined to begin with. As soon as he met Edward outside, he put his hands up in surrender, his eyes wide and innocent.
"Sir, before you begin thinking up new ways to punish me, I'd like to apologize for my post. It was irrational, and admittedly not a very funny joke. I only said it because I realize I do look tired-- my eyes are red and my hair is messy, and I've got these stupid bags under my eyes. However, Toulouse Chatte can vouch for me and tell you that I was crying a lot last night, that I was extremely upset, and that I was most certainly not under the influence." Lies, lies, lies, lies, lies. Well, the bit about him crying and looking like shit because of it was true; but, he'd definitely taken a few shots from a flask a few older doms had been passing around under the radar. You know, to forget about his emotional pain.
