As it was, Howl didn't really care. The rest of the afternoon activities had been canceled, (although the time agents still expected everyone to turn up to the firepit at 7,) and Howl was glad of it.
He sat on his bunk, in his proper clothes again, his skating gear that had been provided for him drying, magically suspended, on the other side of the room. He heard footsteps from outside. Probably Dom, after fetching Blade her dog. It was a very nice dog. Howl liked the dog.
The time agent walked through the door. Actually, through the door. Howl looked up, but the time agent didn't look at him. It simply walked over to the skating gear, and picked them up. It walked to the door, but before it left, looked at Howl. Howl looked sullenly back. Despite the time agent being invisible, Howl felt he was in a staring competition.
They stood for about three minutes, before the time agent turned and left.
