If the person surrounded by students at the edge of the Forbidden Forest had been Professor Morgan, Kiri probably would have thought twice about wandering over. She'd have made them muck out the Abraxan's pens or something, probably. Granted, the groundskeeper might have something similar in mind, but as the weather had rapidly turned cold over the last few weeks, there weren't a lot of plants that would have needed watching left on the Grounds. Except the hardened highlands grass, maybe, but it looked coarse enough to shrug off a meteor strike.
So Kiri joined the students and the groundskeeper, slightly bent to keep her face out of the biting wind as much as possible. When she was closer, she could spot other people she recognised. "Hello, Mr Masterson," she said before shuffling over to Raiden and Celandine. "Hey, you two." (Meh.) "What's, um, going on? Trip into the Forbidden Forest?"
