Simon sighed listening as he stepped in, but stayed by the door. He listened to it all, and then voiced his concerns, speaking up. "Sir, I currently have students I need to look after. There have been a few attacks against them, which Oliva and myself have reported. They seem capable of dealing with them, or at least most of them do, but I would not feel comfortable leaving them behind, when they have only had a few days training. And I do not wish to leave them with just Oliva, no matter how capable she is. Cassandra and Lorenzo so far have managed to control Themselves, but they can't do it forever, which is another reason why Oliva and Myself have decided to take the classes together. They seem to be able to help each other out together, preventing each other from losing control. And they get along well with their other classmates, Ren and Kiddo, and appear to get along well with the others as well. This is why if I am to be taken away From them, even for a short time, I recommend sending them to their comrades. Kiddo has had to leave, with permission, for his fathers funeral and Ren accompanied him. However, if there are attacks against Cassandra and Lorenzo, then there will be against Kiddo and Ren. I believe that together, all four of them can work together well, and prevent losing control for the two. I would also suggest sending Lilly with them, given that she has been attacked as well. If you do not accept these recommendations, then I'm afraid I won't be able to go with Igor and Hax. I do not wish to leave Oliva with them, if something bad happens"

He said all this softly and calmly, his eyes grave.

"I know it will take time" Cassandra said softly "but I will still try. I have to try. I'll do what I can to get there before anything bad happens, but if I can't....wLl at least I tried" she said, "and I'll know I tried" she shifted, "perhaps being on the move will distract whoever is doing this to us, and distract them from kiddo and Ren"
