There was no other exit. None that wouldn't be BLATANTLY obvious. And rude.

So Annie had no choice but to square her shoulders, toss her red mane back, and strut past Jake Updale. Whatever his name was. "Hello," she said coolly as she moved by, "thanks for keeping our castle safe...."

That was a generic enough brush-off, no?

It was pretty clear towards the end of the feast that nobody was about to come charging into the school demanding the Board of Governors to, like, surrender all the broomsticks or whatever. At least, Jake was pretty sure of that. But he hadn't let his guard down at all, perhaps because of seeing his little sister. Even though she wasn't a Quidditch player he was still her to protect her, sooooooooooo...

Wait. Wait wait wait. Bunbury was coming. She was coming right at him oh snap what did he dooooooo?

Oh, nothing. Jake breathed a sigh of relief when it became clear that ~~Bunbury~~ Truebridge was actually just... intending to go through the doors. As people tended to do. He wasn't really prepared for them to exchange any words, though.

"Hello, Headmistress... Truebridge." Always needed to consciously remember that that was her name now. "It's not a problem. Anything... to help." Jake had to hold back from grinning at just how amusing this situation was, because that didn't seem smart. At all. He also didn't look Annie in the eye, but rather continued watching those who remained in the Hall. It was never smart to stare down a dragon, you see.

.............

"Tell Ethan I said hi?" Jake found himself calling after the Headmistress, hopefully before she was too far away to hear him.
