Daniel: Daniel was smiling until he saw what River had mouthed. He looked around the room, but to no avail, as there was no trace of her. He blinked, also confused. His first thought was that despite her penchant for trouble in class, she wouldn't deliberately not show up. Then he stopped himself. He didn't know Max at all. His inferences were based on what she had allowed him and the others to see. She could alter what they saw, her sides, as he thought of them, could be truth, lie, or somewhere in the middle. He was beginning to fom a hypothesis in his mind. But he'd have to talk about it later, and only to people he trusted not to say anything. Right now, the most important thing was that Max wasn't there. 'Where's Max?" he wondered aloud. He hoped that maybe the others had seen her, and she could just be trying to find something or in the restrom.
Max: Max heard Daniel ask where she was. She stopped moving, and stayed silent. It had taken quite a while for someone to notice her absense. Clearly she meant nothing to them. For one fleeting moment, a smile crept onto her lips. This could be really fun, if she allowed it to be. She could get in troublew, but it could also be like hide and seek. But the smile left her as soon as it arrived. However amusing it was to her, it wouldn't be to anyone else. And River would not be happy. Max decided to listen to hear the replies to Daniel's question.
