Judging by the Headmistress's silence, she would be the one to start things off... but really, what had she expected? Something that resembled a job interview? An interrogation?
"I'm sorry to say this has been troubling me for some time, and for a long while now I've wondered how to broach the topic or if I even wanted to... but I do," she started, certain that she wasn't making sense, but continuing anyway. "Ten years at a school is a long time, and I have a young family... and I need to spend more time with them," she continued, daring to avert her eyes briefly to extract a sealed envelope from her top drawer.

"I'd appreciate if you accepted my... letter of resignation."

Yes. That... this is what that was. Seren slid the envelope across the desk to her employer, and instead wrapped her hands around a cup and poured herself some much needed tea.

So she.... wasn't here to talk about plants then. As soon as Seren started speaking, Annie knew what was coming next. She had had enough of these resignation conversations to predict when a letter was coming, usually.

She took the letter in hand to read it, of course. "Ten years is a long time," the redhead mused in the meanwhile, taking her time with this sensitive subject. Ten years though. To think, Seren had been the only halfway decent Herbology teacher, the only one who had lasted any substantial amount of time, since Annie herself had taught the subject! Huh!
