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?

Special Security Liason? Overhearing that, Ethan Truebridge frowned slightly.

Why, after so many years of trouble, was the ministry only JUST getting around to something like that? Especially since, at least to his knowledge, the past few terms had been relatively peaceful. Did this have something to do with the Quidditch Pitches?

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?"

He returned Jake's look calmly, but was curious to hear the man's answer too. Ethan sipped his water and nudged his sunglasses down again, relaxing into his chair.

Was it odd that he felt some relief knowing he had Ethan back at Hogwarts? Tate raised an eyebrow and nodded a greeting in the man's direction as he took a seat.

"Good to have you back with us, Ethan. I hope Annie is well."

Tate snorted a bit and studied the table top, refusing to make eye contact with anyone until he had collected himself. Nope. Not collecting himself any time soon.

"At your leave, Mr. Ikenna... can we proceed with the speech?"

"Yes. She's... she's well." Zan answered quietly. Hmm. Was it just him or was Gaellen Tate just a little put out by their 'security' guest?

Yeah he was getting just a touch better at reading the man.

"Oh, Headmaster, isn't that the way you came to Hogwarts? As a glorified babysitter?" She smiled at him, "Look where it got you..." She may have to watch her step around Truebridge, but Tate should be worried about his job around Ikenna...

"Hurt?" He glanced at Lafay. "I don't hurt anyone intentionally, Hecate."

But the Slytherin side of his brain pointed out that accidents, oh so unfortunately, happened.

Hmm? A glorified babysitter? She had a point there.

"Did he just say his name was Ikea Garlic?" he snickered in a low voice to Ethan but it was loud enough for only Tate and Lafay to overhear. "No wonder he's angry at the world."

"Ike..." Ethan half murmured a repetition and thought about it seriously. No. he hadn't said that but...

"I like Garlic." Truebridge commented quietly, eyes flicking to Tate from behind his stunna shades.

Easy, man.
