Now back in St. Laurel's, Ascot was not satisfied. He had found out what would be a wealth of information to other people - King being unchanging was the best bit - but there was nothing on achieving the happy ending that he wanted. More to the point, he was growing obsessed with Vittorio Twinveil, more than he had gotten obsessed with getting Alto and Clara together. Compared to making sure Vittorio - easily the most sympatethic character of the students of all three organizations - had his happy ending and stopped trying to kill Alto (did that guy have a death wish or something?), mere matchmaking was not enough. 

There was also the fact that he had not gained anything more on Mephisto's identity except that he had a hidden agenda and unscrupulous means to promote it. That was also satisfying information to the anonymous Mephistos' students - the sibilings with light and smoke powers - that Michael had recruited for him. But it did not satisfy him. [i]Stay detached, pull strings,[/i] his mind whispered. [i]Too much focus on one objective will show all your cards.[/i] A nod from himself. [i]I wish I can go talk to Alto[/i] part of him thought. [i]Wait, why can't I? Samoth is away and he's my ally anyway.[/i]

And so Ascot went to walk towards where Alto was, using Narrative Role of Familiairty to make himself look like part of the Student Council...
