"Yeah," Jenny replied slowly, catching the shirt and quickly pulling it over herself, pulling her knees up to her chest and pulling the tee over them so she was sort of cocooned inside. It was better than nothing. "I remember.. that stipulation of the rules. You didn't-- I mean, my.."

She trailed off, unsure of what to say. She had been about to try to comfort him and suggest that maybe it wasn't so bad since, it was just her, and beside the tattoo on Ella's buttcheek, it was all the same thing. But it really wasn't, and she grossed herself out by even comparing. It was so different.

"No, don't be sorry! I- It really wasn't anyone's fault. I don't think. It was.. just an accident," she murmured, peering over at him with a little pout. It felt like the hundredth accident to happen this year, and she was once again reminded that she had picked a hell of a year to become Head Girl.

"We'll figure everything out, and-- there's no way, right? Ella wouldn't.. not with somebody else. There's no way," she offered, though she was mostly just hopeful. If that potion had been strong enough to sway her and Hen into half-naked snuggles together in Ella's bed, then there was really no telling what the rest of the school was waking up to. She vaguely wondered where Sera was, and Charlie for that matter, and stopped before she made herself jealous on top of traumatized.

He groaned and plunked down on Jenny's bed, covering his face with his hands. The night was slowly coming back to him now. He had been acting like an idiot and yes... playing strip chess but he hadn't been terribly uncouth. Still... the thought of the night before maybe him shiver. "Damn it," he muttered through his hands, staring up at the bottom of the bunk.

Hendrix felt sick. He couldn't think of Ella because every time he did he just thought of some other person wooing her away. She did deserve the best, maybe there was someone more suited for her. He just rolled over, curling into as small a ball as possible.

"Right," he said feeling just as hopeless as ever. He had no idea what he could do to make it better but even worse... what if she didn't want to fix it? What if she was just done with him? "We'll figure it out," he said quietly.

Hendrix's lull into silence allowed Jenny to do the same, half mimicking him as she turned on her own side and pulled the pillow closer against her face. With nothing to really do but think, it was harder to keep her mind away from Charlie and Sera. Either one of them could be with anybody.. not that she was supposed to care who Sera ended up with. No one could really be much worse than that buffoon Max anyway..

Sighing heavily, Jenny flipped over on her other side. "Seriously, Hen.. we will, we really will. Everything, there has to be some logical explanation. There's always a logical explanation," she informed him, trying hard to believe in her words. There was something in that punch, and it had been strong. But they were out of it now, and she really hoped that everyone else was too. If everyone came to their senses, they could just sort everything out and it would be all good, right? Especially if Ella and Charlie were with other people too.. they had to understand.

He nodded but realized she couldn't very well see him nodding from underneath the bunk. "Right," he said, a bit stiffly. "We'll be fine." He forced himself out of the bed and grabbed his shirt from the floor. "I should go try to find El," he said running a hand through his hair. Pulling his shirt on he looked at Jenny, a bit sadly. "Promise we won't be weird?" he asked.
