Ssarak looked to Coco and gave her a nod, more out of habit than anything, since she couldn't actually see it. "Morning, Coco." He said in greeting before turning back to Annabeth. The Foreas was perhaps the most unique individual at the college, in form and personality. He couldn't claim to be close to her, but she was someone who might consider him a friend. Of course, with how friendly she was, he would not be surprised if she considered everyone a friend. 

"There is something wrong, I'm afraid." Ssarak answered to Annabeth. "You remember the story I told you about my past, not long after we arrived here. I fear my past has come to find me. I do not wish to say any more in a public place, but it is possible that I may be forcibly taken from the college soon if nothing is done to stop it. As much as I wish I did not need to burden others with my struggles, I worry that I will not be able to succeed on my own." Ssarak explained. In truth, he did not know how he was going to succeed at all, with or without help. He was guilty of his crimes. He had never once said that he was not, and no evidence existed that could change that story. Rather, they would have to find some other way to demonstrate that Dirssi should not be allowed to take him, but he had no idea how to go about doing that. It could be that such a task was impossible.
