She turned to Moretti and said. "He's one of yours..."
WHAT?! And they called JAKE rude?!
Jake's eyes narrowed furiously behind his sunglasses and he glared at Lafay, forgetting she couldn't see him. HE wasn't ONE of ANYBODY'S.
Enough of that.
And... why would he be 'one' of the nurse's? That was just bizarre.

It wasn't a question, and it wasn't a suggestion, it was a decision.
Besides, did he really want to get on Hecate's bad side?
Lily didn't.
Jake could only stare for a little while, suddenly very confused by what was going on.
"Why, Professor? I am merely having a conversation, as plenty of other students are with other professors, without them being sent away."
Like
children. "Our distinguished guest hasn't complained about me yet. Nevertheless, despite having done nothing wrong, I will leave," Jake told her.
Well... he would. In a moment. After Ikea spoke. It was, after all, rude to say something to someone and leave without giving them a chance to respond.
And the staff were big on manners.
"And, ma'am, I would much prefer being adressed as Jake. My last name... it's a delicate subject. Would that be alright?" he added.
"Please?"
For the very first time, he was suddenly struck with the thought that maybe the staff percieved him as being rude... may as well put them right.
"And, Professors, I do not intend to be rude. It just seems to happen." Jake turned his head towards Truebridge as well... they'd work out he was more like the man than they realised.
