Welcome Party
[quote]Alpheus's demeanor shifted, and Violet, frankly, was glad to see that he wasn't without solemnity. It was disturbing, to say the least, and his agreement renewed in her a certain quality of fire ignited when Quillius has first expounded on the news. This school, and the children in it... They were her charge, and she would not, for her own life, allow anything to happen to them willingly. It seemed a view Alpheus shared, and it was a relief, for having seen in the man something of a ridiculous nature when first they had been reintroduced.
"Unfortunately, I haven't been here long enough to know much of what's been previously discussed, but I imagine there's been some discussion. It might not be a terrible idea though, if we held something of a meeting of minds with everyone. I could speak to Ackerley about it..." Teeth pinching the edge of her lip, she considered this, before he moved on.
"It was, yes... And it seems from what the students have spoken about, the masked boy was certainly not acting on his own accord." A sigh escaped as she contemplated the ramifications of this growing worse. If a student could be controlled, so too could any one of them.
"It's time we were proactive, indeed. I'll speak to Quill once he's returned from his vacation about that meeting. Thank you, Alfie... The more minds we have on these concerns, the better... And given your extent of knowledge, it's my hope we can put this behind us with the year ahead."
