"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.
"It is," Jake replied, turning to face the other professor. Maybe it was good that his attention was off the same people for a minute... Jake knew he would be unable to control his temper if it flared. And he didn't wanted that.
"Head of House?" the young man repeated, looking at Moretti again. ANOTHER new Head of House... when did that happen?!
"Perhaps..." Jake repeated, looking at Ikea again. What to do?

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.
WHY was he getting an eyebrow raise? Could she not see Kurumi, Nymphy or Ellie?
Fine. FINE!
Fine. "Thank you, ma'am. Though it seems we have a different interpretation of rude," Jake shrugged.
"I'll respect your opinion."
In a minute.
And...
"Points?" Quote:

Jake turned and looked back at Lafay, not saying anything. Not at all.
Nnnnope.

Give it a rest? Fine. Jake would.
Because HE wanted to. Being himself didn't work, nor did his attempt at being civil.
FAIIIIIIN!
"Very well. And my name isn't Upstead."
It was JAKE. And only Jake.
He had decided.
"I will give it a rest. And I will visit your office tomorrow. Sir."
Jake may have been an adult... but he was still VERY much a sullen teenager at times.
"Unless you would prefer me to be seen and not heard all year?"
Jerk.

Jake had just opened his mouth to give the entirety of the staff who were against him a piece of his mind... when Truebridge spoke up.
And Jake had a mini-heart attack. That... kind of scared him.
The young man closed his mouth, turned back to Ikea and GLAAAAAAAAAARED at him from behind his sunglasses.
"I'll try and find you so we can talk another time," Jake spoke quietly.
"Sir."
And with that, he turned properly to Truebridge and did what most of the staff had no doubt been waiting for for so long.
"Yes sir," he said quietly and took one step back away from the table, even though he hadn't asked him to leave.
Well... if they were taking any points, he'd prefer to be there to hear it.
