Sitting alone

The Estate's meticulously kept gardens, including a hedgemaze that students have occasionally described as "sadistic" and a sizable rose garden. Benches in shaded spots are plentiful, and the gardens are popular to study in on pleasant days. The nearby stables are still maintained with a number of well-heeled equines.

"And you're gonna fix it up again. If you ever finished it you'd just get bored anyway. And if it hadn't been Mongols and a British douche then it would have broken down on the way to town or when some gasket thingie freezes shut in Winter." she tries to joke encouragingly.

"Broken gaskets my left fanny. You're more likely to see my foot spontaneously explode than you are to see one thing go wrong with that van," Vinny said, conveniently ignoring all the times things had gone quite horrifically badly with the van.

"Oh you think you're so clever." she mutters as she finally manages to come to a stop and turn around in mid air. She takes careful aim for a moment and then zips through the air across campus with enough force to leave behind a wake of air that's shaking the treetops.

Vinny still had to run up stairs and things, giving him a distinct disadvantage.

Had he had better control, he might have been able to go solid for long enough to jump on something and go through the ceiling intangible, but he was just a dude, not some crazy parkour expert, so he instead started booking it up the stairs.

Meanwhile Amy tries her best to slow down just outside the dorms to locate the window to her dorm. What follows is a series of very careful jerks forward through the air as she tries to get to the windowsill without crashing into the wall or the window itself.

Vinny ran up the stairs, and briefly tried to fiddle with Amy's locked door, before realizing, oh yeah, phasing, and darting inside, gasping for air.

Amy, meanwhile, is still fiddling with the window, trying to get it open. Upon seeing Vinny run inside she rolls her head back and groans.
