I will state, however, that they are completely necessary and while you may object to them, it is not within your duties in this school to question my authority or my disciplinary methods with the students. This is the second time that you have seen fit to overreach your authority and poke your nose into another professor's disciplinary tactics, and I assure you it will not be tolerated. Is that clear enough for you, Miss Avalon?" Kazimeriz spoke in a cool tone, but his gaze had become hard and cold. She would learn her place, by Merlin.
She was not a spoiled child who needed to learn her place. And it soured her to be treated like one. "Has it occurred to you, Professor, that I could have told Jake Upstead that I thought your disciplinary tactics are excessive and in some cases dangerous, impugning your methods to a student rather than speaking to you directly?"

He stopped in the doorway and was just about to knock when he spotted the old man inside and he just managed to catch the last of his speech. Marcus immediately looked to Caroline and raised an eyebrow, he knew that she could handle herself, he was merely curious as to know what had happened to get such a reaction out of Kazi.

"Hope I'm not interrupting" he said quietly. Well yeah he was hoping that he was interrupting, he didn't like the way the old man looked at her but he didn't want to die...just yet!
Caroline noticed Marcus in the door and held up a hand to ask him to wait. It was maybe a little more harsh than she meant to be with him, but she was in mid-debate. "There is overreaching my authority and then there is expressing my opinion when I have one" she continued, "I have no authority whatsoever unless a student has a health related issue. I understand that. What you need to understand is that I have no intention of keeping quiet if I feel I have a valid opinion. I'm not tearing down the halls throwing fits and breaking people out of detention. Most people in there earned their place."

She had never had it in her to back down. Life would be easier for her if she had. And though Professor Kazimeriz was old, decrepit, and creepy... Cari was pretty sure she was making her life extremely hard just by saying anything at all, much less her exact words, "You heard it from me, and not from anyone else that I find some of your methods to be excessive. You will not hear it from anyone else, when I find your methods to be excessive, but you will always hear it. Is that clear enough for you?"

She glanced back up at the door where Marcus waited. Okay, so that wasn't her at her best. She certainly was keen to pick a fight with perhaps the most dangerous person on staff. Apart from Marcus himself, though she never considered Marcus to be dangerous. Unnerving yes, dangerous, no.

"I wouldn't say so," she dismissed, a little too brightly. "You can make yourself comfortable on the chaise, the Professor and I were just finishing up."
