[center][h2][color=crimson][b]Tholl[/b][/color][/h2][/center][hr] It seemed to her that the students had finally been released from the hall and sent to their dorms, leaving the halls flooded once more by students subdued by the knowledge of a recent murder on campus. Tholl silently dreaded the idea of morning classes the next day, what with a skittish and distracted student body to settle down. [color=crimson]"Meh. First classes of the semester are pretty much throw away days anyway. Syllabuses, school rules, and all that jazz burn through the hours like nobodies business."[/color] Her audience looked at her quizzically, not comprehending such lofty topics, as it was a wild animal fitted in a spider silk harness and was presently sniffing at bits of furniture and bookshelves as it tested the limits of its leash. Tholl was surprised how well behaved it was, though she chalked that up to having enough self-preservation not to bite the hand that could end its life rather gruesomely if she wanted. She wasn't under the notion it was domesticated and were it not for the assembly she'd have struggled to reach Aria's office without it lunging at the student's who reeked of fear like irresistible prey. [color=crimson]"Though where the Hell is the Headmistress? Should I...."[/color] Her eyes flickered over the intercom positioned within reach of the diminutive telepath's chair. Smirking to herself she got up from the guest chair and swept the microphone into her hand, the wolf turning to watch her sudden movements before returning to the act of marking his new territory. [color=crimson][b]"Attention faculty, this is Mrs. Tholl speaking. Could Headmistress Aria please report to her Office at her earliest possible convenience. Her skills are required."[/b][/color] Tholl said, finding it hard not to smile as her voice echoed through the halls beyond the office door. [color=crimson][b]Oh, and if Ms. Lotte could come as well. We require two steaks, or any meat product readily available, as well as rug cleaner for...recent stains.[/b][/color] It wasn't like she could take the thing outside to do it's business. It peed on the building twice already and at this point Tholl was certain it held a reserve of urine just to mark new territory. At least Lotte was a miracle worker and would have it cleaned in a jiffy...assuming Aria didn't beat her hear and wring her out for it. Suddenly Tholl was far less cheery about being in Aria's office.
