The sound of the door opening and footsteps coming in didn't attract [Timothy](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75166/posts/char#post-2323135)'s attention, but the melodious voice that graced his ears did. Turning his head with a quirked brow to see who it was, his eyes widened as he was struck by the sheer and palpable beauty of the blonde before him. Unconsciously closing his book and settling it on the table, as if suddenly forced to by some invisible command, he looked up at the standing Henrietta as she looked down at him, who sat. The image, when viewed from a distance, reeked of symbolism.

_"Oh boy,"_ there was an amused tone in Cadwal's ghostly mind-voice. _"Here comes the Great Temptress."_

_"What is she doing here?"_

_"You are about to find out. Probably going to seduce you two into joining her Mamluk band."_

_"I trust you to advise me to the contrary if so ever I falter."_

_"Worry not,"_ Cadwal reassured. _"I will yell so loudly you cannot hear yourself think."_

Tim, after [Poppy](http://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/75166/posts/char#post-2323885)'s recitation, found his own words to say: "Yes. We're new students," was his simple and rather lacking reply.
