Biting her lip, she ended up handing it over. "I didn't mean any disrespect. I'm just-" Scared, "-worried."
Still smiling kindly as he accepted the letter, Atticus nodded a little at the girl's reply. "I understand. We're going to do everything we can to help you, okay?" he replied reassuringly. Then he looked over the letter and attempted to read it quickly even with all the talking and noise going on around him. It said basically everything that all the others were talking about but much more concise. This would be good for reference if they needed it. So he set it on the table and gave the girl another small nod and smile to let her know she was not in trouble. Hopefully that would relieve some of the worry she had?

Then he remained quiet for a bit to listen as more and more students kept entering and talking. Not all, thankfully, as some knew how to be quiet and listen, but this was still getting a bit too chaotic.

He wasn't quite sure about the quarantine idea, though not entirely opposed to it either, but then Althea suggested an interesting idea. That was definitely worth looking into as well. The timeline idea might not have been good to tell them, however...but what was done was done. They just didn't need anymore panicking or shouting in here. Thank Merlin for the Head Girl and Nolan trying to reassure them.

"If you all would like to stay in here and give your input, you may IF and only IF you can take your seats and remain silent unless we address a question to you." That certainly wasn't a guarantee that all, or any, of them could stay if the rest of his fellow governors agreed they should leave, but Atticus had no problems with at least a few staying to give more details they might not yet know about all this to help them find the best solution. But if they were going to constantly interrupt and not let them discuss, then they needed to leave because they weren't helping themselves by talking over everyone and complaining about every idea they came up with.


Penelope was still silent as everything went on, listening but choosing not to comment much. It would have been amusing to see some of them getting overly excited and talking so much if the situation wasn't actually pretty serious and affecting her too. But then the idea of a "timeline" came up and...

Timeline? Timeline to... She didn't really want to finish that thought but then Alexa and some other guy blurted it out anyway.

That...that was...........

Yeah, she was just gonna continue to sit here silently and watch. And breathe. And not think about stuff like that. That wasn't gonna happen, like Ella and another governor guy were saying.
