"Alexa," she greeted the girl coldly, her eyes flicking to the girl's cat and then up to her dad's face, "and Mr. Cambridge. I was expecting you," she lied, having completely forgotten about their appointment, "but I'm afraid the kneazle is NOT invited to this meeting. All pets are to remain in the common rooms or dormitories at all times, Alexa, you know that."
She turned on her heel and led the way back past Presly, and straight to the stone gargoyles, which parted like the Red Sea. "Mr. Cambridge, you may head upstairs. I'll be right behind you. Alexa, however, may return once she has put her cat away, or sent it home."
Annie gestured for the father to step onto the revolving staircase.
Michael greeted the woman when she approached him. It didn't go unnoticed however, just how cold she had greeted his angel. Clearly there was some kind of animosity. This was made even more evident when he felt Alexa latch onto his coat and shift behind him slightly. He raised a puzzled eyebrow at her but knew she wouldn't explain.
His eyes darted to the kneazle for a moment before resting on the headmistress again. "Right. I tried telling her that." Then he turned to Alexa. "You see darling? Felix has to stay in his cage until it's over...but don't get upset, he'll be fine for a little bit." Yeah he was trying to appease his daughter while getting her to comply. Was that a problem? No? Okay. And with that he stepped on the spiral staircase.
Alexa had to fight the pout that was forming on her face. Barely back and the woman was already being mean...SIGH.
But she had promised to be good. She
had to be good for this to work so with a lot of reluctance she slipped Felix into his cage and bolted the lock. If he died from being locked up too long she would never forgive either of them.
Her gaze rested on the woman again.
Happy now?
