Hecate nodded to the woman. If it would make Jacob leave it will have done it's job.

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.

Lilyan glanced down the table, seeing no other students around, but him. She raised her eyebrow at the boy, as if to relay this information to him. The other students have returned to their tables.

"I will respect your request, if you would respect mine." Lilyan could call the child whatever she deemed so, and so far, he had not listened to Hecate, or herself, "And since you have not, I feel less inclined to do so. You may not intend to be rude, but you are not obeying, and that is rude."

So.

"Since you have not returned to your table as requested, I will be taking points, and, Professor LaFay may care to take hers as well." Lily didn't care, he had started with the woman, it seemed only fair that she would get a piece of it as well. Lilyan acknowledged the other woman, who was trying to help, but the time for civil negotiations was over.

The truth be told, Lily didn't really care if the kid wanted to stay, but the simple fact that he had refused to leave when told, negated her caring completely.
