His gaze slowly focused on the features of the student in front of him, who had to be one of the older ones if his height was any indication. His manners hardly seemed indicant of his age but from their first eye contact, Ikenna could sense troubled waters beneath the boy's confident veneer.
"Ikenna Gevrik, Special Security Liaison to Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry."
One eyebrow slowly raised in question as Ikenna's gaze locked on Jake's. "And you are..?"
Hmm. A boy with one too many surnames?
That was a name Jake wasn't even going to attempt to repeat.
He didn't for ONCE consider that the man had any power pertaining to eye contact or whatever, even though he knew of legilimancy and the like... after all, why
would he?
Jake's eyes hadn't been locked on the man's at first, but kind of darting around his face and stuff... he wasn't good with eye contact at all, and glanced over at Truebridge a couple of times as well, but once his they made eye contact he stuck with it as a matter of principle, no matter how much eye contact with anyone made Jake feel nervous and anxious.
"Jake," he responded simply, no physical indication of any emotions or difficulties or a need to put his sunglasses back on. He left out his surname.
But back to the matter at hand.
"So... you're here as a member of security," Jake spoke, the statement just verging on a question.
"Not as the deputy head?"
Jake glanced over at Vindictus, and then at Truebridge again, before looking back at... Ikea or whoever he was.
"Why do we need security?"
