The banter between the two boys didn't interest her a great deal, or at least not beyond her concern for Zander's health. Was he okay? She glanced between the two, but easily accepted Zander's response. Nothing was wrong.

Of course, this meeting business was nagging her somewhat, though perhaps moreso because she couldn't recall a meeting at all, let alone one where they discussed the late Astronomy Professor. Not last year anyway. "That explains it... almost.. I don't remember much from last year, it's all a bit hazy." And that was an understatement too. "Burbage is the late Astronomy Professor... died only a few short years ago." Just before his time, she supposed. It was beginning to get difficult, remembering all these years... so much time had passed at this school, it started rolling into one big experience. Survival was her priority. Not just surviving a term, or semester, or a year... just surviving.

"Okay... alright... you win, Kevin."
