Kazimeriz watched the two women as they went back and forth like two kneazles fighting over a bowl of cream. Amusing, really, how little Alessia was being protective of his interests. It did his old heart good to be cared for. He patted the little lupine woman's hand. Down, girl... his glance shot at her. "Why, Miss Bunbury, I thought I asked you to call me Valon." he chuckled. He had a natural affinity to dangerous and fiery beasties, and both Alessia Lupa and Anastasia Bunbury fell squarely into this category in the old man's mind. "I am certain that the headmaster will address the replacement of your things as soon as possible, at the present time there are safety issues with this flooding that I am certain command the majority of his time. Like yourself, I have suffered the loss of many valuable and even irreplaceable items,and our poor Slytherins and Hufflepuffs likely make the same claim. But we all must be patient in times of crisis, mustn't we?" he gently admonished her.
YAY! He hugged her! "Yes Papa Valon, they are more than satisfactory, I'm just glad you are well, and... well... dry." She said beaming up at him... wait... He'd asked her to call him Valon? Her eyes narrowed a moment and then softened... so she was befriending him was she? For what? Another pair of boots? Jewelry? What did she want this time. Papa Valon was not stupid, he'd see through her soon enough.
"Indeed we must..." Alessia agreed with a smile.
