Yes, quite so. She was sure. No more trouble than any of the other houses anyway. "Oh I'm fine, thank you. Just a few first day nerves. Nothing that won't go away." Once I've eaten. Candy on a previously empty stomach might be the real problem. Maybe she shouldn't have skipped lunch.

Enough of that.

And... why would he be 'one' of the nurse's? That was just bizarre.



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.
This boy was certainly determined to stay there. He was right to be curious, of course. Things were different to how he knew them. Different faces, names. Isabelle would have been surprised if there weren't anyone asking questions.

Not that she wanted to butt in, but he had addressed the rest of the professor's as a whole. "Jake, is it?" she smiled, leaning forward in her seat. "Your Head of House is correct," she WAS the HoH, right? Ohh Issy really needed to get to know more people. "Perhaps if you wait until tomorrow, after the feast, when everyone has had a good dinner and a decent nights sleep, they might be more inclined to answer your questions? Mr Gevrik included." But don't take her word for that one. She didn't know the man.
