I had considered waking you earlier but I decided the rest would do you good.”[/color]  Alfonse set down the student council records he was working through down and poured alice a cup of tea, leaving cream and sugar on the side. He bowed and returned to his seat, picking up the papers to continue preparing for the audits coming up. He needed the head start since there was a stray to deal with tonight.

The thought made him hum, pleased with himself. Running into the boy tonight should be next to guaranteed. His alcoholic father broke easily after a few polite demands and the boy should be homeless within the hour, leaving him emotional and vulnerable. All in preparation for Alice to secure his sacred gear into her household. He looked back up at Alice.

[color=f7976a]“Ah forgive me, there are a few matters I should brief you on. Narti successfully located the stray earlier this afternoon. Once you are prepared, I will transfer us there immediately. In mortal affairs, rumors that several clubs on campus have broken multiple policies are growing. In an effort to reduce the chance of the school board directly interjecting in our affairs, I established a monthly audit of the clubs and their activities and spending habits so I can control the flow of information that makes it to the school board.”[/color]
