Interesting that Aboli didn't find him grumpy... and he told HER she was uptight?! Well, she did do that whole 'don't hold hands with me or call me Bali,' or whatever thing. Bernie just shrugged too, accepting the possibility that the Headmaster hated her like everyone else and then WHEEEHEHEHEE! It was time to go ON UP!
Bernie gleefully led the way, but didn't say anything exactly when they arrived in the Headmaster's office. She just cleared her throat politely, nodded to the Headman, and then looked around a bit as she waited to be dismissed and/or offered a seat.
Hmhmhmhm. Anything new in here this year? Quote:

The Headmaster nodded his acknowledge to the girls before turning his gaze back to a report that had been sent in earlier that day. Troubling reports, more troubling than the former Rainbow Truffles and Song standing there like he’d been the one to summon them and they were now waiting to find out why.
One of them would find their tongue—neither was shy afterall and if they’d sought him out, it was obviously because they had something to say.
Whether he wanted to know what was a different matter but here he was, listening. At the end of his sentence, he looked to them again, one brow raised. “Yes?”
She followed Bernie up the steps, her eyes going this way and that as she took in the "scenery." It was very stone-y. She wondered if it affected his mental health at all. All dark and cool and stuff. Everyone needed some OUTSIDE AIR eventually, but she supposed he got that when he taught lessons.
She cleared her throat and waited to be spoken to because she didn't want to appear to be rude or forthcoming or anything.
"Well, Headmaster, I wasn't here, so I am not concerned with this...but...Bernadette here was very worried about the...apparent portraits of the founders from last term. And I said just to make extra sure we were ALL safe...that we would check with YOU that they were..in a safe place....you know..probably locked away....in here.....right?" She felt her ears turn red.
"I wanted to ask you in pass in the corridor - or in class - but poor Bernadette INSISTED she was so scared so ..." Yeah. Here they were.
Aboli felt stupid but also a bit of adrenaline because...well, this was kinda fun. She smiled over at Bernie. See? He didn't hate them at all. Not yet, anyhow.
