While Indigo was still deciding whether or not to just turn around and leave, it became clear that his presence had not gone undetected. And he wasn't getting in trouble, so that was great. What was more, this professor knew his name. Which was unfortunate, because Indigo had no idea what this professor's name was. He was new, and his name had probably been announced at the feast but Indigo hadn't really been paying attention. He nodded slowly. "Yes, that's me. It's, uh, Indigo."

How did one talk to a professor? Indigo barely knew how to properly communicate with people his own age. What was he supposed to say to a professor? He had to think of something. Standing here silently was not the best option. "I, uh, didn't know these chambers were here. Do you know where they actually go?" That was fine, right?
