Tiina shuffled clumsily back into a standing position. Although she was trembling in her boots, she could tell by the tone of the Head Magister's voice that she wasn't as livid as she was sure she was. She was caught slightly off-guard when she was asked about the Shifter girl sitting next to her, but decided against probing any further into the issue, particularly because the vice principal was also within earshot.
