With any luck that one house elves would scream and sob themselves hoarse because their contributions to this conversation were not all that appreciated. Though what Eiji did pull from their ramblings was that the kitchens were somehow secure and the house elves had all fled in there. With the food. So that one little Gryffindor's question was answered as far as he was concerned.
And the headmaster was getting his share of answers to his question, another which the fourth year would not bother answering even on better days. A lot of it was common sense, honestly. And no...Eiji did not want a repeat of the last grounds incident either. He was still reliant on calming and dreamless sleep draught to get himself through the night...and some days, if he were open about things with people other than those who had been present during his examination post incident. And Missa. Always Missa.
His eyes quickly searched the room for hers again, needing them more than he was willing to admit to anyone - even to her right now - when he heard that Hufflepuff prefect offer up the most insane suggestion as a means to escape this mist and his attention was reluctantly pulled from his girlfriend. It was the same moronic suggestion that Professor O'Hara had offered in the boathouse. Incapable of being of any help to anyone and putting Eiji in reluctant debt to a centaur.
"Flying with zero visibility into this mist is a death wish," he said simply and sharply. "Once you're in it...you don't know which way is which...and it overwhelms you with fear. You wouldn't make it past the next tower let alone fly far enough to escape the grounds. The only reason any of us escaped the boathouse was because the mist hadn't thickened too far beyond the lake's shores at the time.... and Thereos was able to lead us back on foot."
And besides, the headmaster hadn't asked any of them for a plan. He had only asked them the same sort of question one would expect in a standard classroom setting.
He wanted mum. He wanted dad. He wanted grandpa to come in with the entire Ministry and get them out of here.
And he wanted both of those house elves to stop making so much nose, take a cue from the third one who had arrived and be chill as a cucumber.
Also...Missa was still his girlfriend...right? That...that hadn't changed too...in light of everything...had it?
