"You're not crusty and you're not old." He wanted to scrub his hands over his face. "But hanging out with you does have a significant role in my life." Even though it wasn't everyday. The man didn't realize how significant an impact he had, period, did he?
Letting out a heavy breath, he pushed himself to his feet, considering taking the rope with him before deciding against it. "You're going to start scaring me, if you keep covering." Definitely not the most respectful tone to take with the Headmaster; he really needed to stop thinking he could converse with the man like he was a close friend.
This time he did draw his hands over his face. "I just meant..." Dropping his hands he cast his eyes back to the rope on the corner of the desk. "You're like a second father to me...and I worry about you." He was probably going to be told it wasn't his place to worry, but he didn't see it that way. Not one bit.
