"Worried for her?" I was asked as my hand rapidly pushed the same magic button over and over. And, she was right and I had no shame in admitting it.
"One of our rarest, and the most irreplaceable student within this place is at risk of dying. I will not have it on my conscious should it happen!" I sternly tell her as I continue to insist on a course of action for Student Liadanann to take. Yet, despite my efforts, she declined. My hand then returned to my side with an unnerved shiver.
"You couldn't stop her from taking part."
"Of course not, there was no rule she had violated up to this point. She has earned no exclusion from this grand occasion." I point out with uncharacteristic hysteria before I nervously put my hand on my mouth.
She then laughed, "You know, Head of Oddity House Frihdeicalkbr, it's rather adorable that your desire for knowledge makes you so caring."

She giggles some more, "Whatever you say."
"Do go away, you are annoying me now." I lightly snarl, much to her amusement.
