The moment Clarissa pushed out of the classroom once more, she locked eyes on Lysander and Derec across the courtyard. [color=FF650E]“Professor Roland, you disingenuous boor! Rarely have I been so tempted to bear the colorful epithets of the sailors of Edmund against a man of your stature and yet your duplicity tempts me so.”[/color] Clarissa boomed, uncaring of those around them as the world seemed to disappear, leaving only her and the target of her ire, as she stalked towards Lysander. [color=FF650E] “In the name of common decency however, I will afford you freedom from such language. I expect you’ll learn from the example.”[/color] 

Clarissa’s words dropped to a furious snarl as she approached, jabbing her finger directly into Lysandar’s chest. [color=FF650E]“How [i]dare[/i] you abuse trust unconditionally given! How [i]dare[/i] you wield your authority to violate our autonomy so blatantly in front of our peers! How [i]dare[/i] you turn our Professors into goalers and hold a dagger to our throat in one of the most cowardly ambushes I have seen in my life!”[/color] She puntucated her points with sharp jabs to his chest. [color=FF650E] “Tell me, [i]Professor[/i], did you consider the consequences of your actions when you violated our autonomy? Did you consider our goals when you violated our autonomy? Did you consider the rifts that would form when you violated our autonomy?”[/color]

[color=FF650E] “Don’t bother answering. I don’t care to hear the well rehearsed lies of the delusionally self righteous.”[/color] Clarissa scoffed, dismissing whatever pathetic excuse the man may muster. [color=FF650E]“I am not naive enough to believe you unaware of our specific Crests if you know enough to stack your hand full of them and as such I am hard pressed to find any benign or ingenious intention that would lead you to believe your decision to handle sensitive matters with such callous methods ethically acceptable. I have goals and aspirations that, shy of the Goddess herself descending from heavens and issuing a divine edict against me, I am fully determined to complete and I do not need her servants sabotaging me on holy grounds!”[/color] 

[color=FF650E]“And furthermore, I have not had the luxury of ignoring my Crest. Since I was barely to your knee, I was made full aware of the implications and the burden of mine. Every step I’ve taken, every breath I’ve drawn, and every decision I’ve made since has been in restitution for the sins of my forefathers and in service to the expectations placed on me because of it and you have the nerve to lock me in a room, expose me to the future’s most influential individuals, and then expect me to lean on a power tainted by failure and treachery? I cannot begin to [i]fathom[/i] the depths of depravity through which you trudged to reach this inane conclusion.”[/color] She laughed mirthlessly.

[color=FF650E]“I foolishly believed myself safe here, above the petty politics of the world and the black mark on my family name. I suppose I should thank you for enlightening me.”[/color] Clarissa spat out and turned away from Professor Roland, her piece said and the edge of her temper dulled for a moment, to address Derec. [color=FF650E] “Join me for an afternoon ride with the Deer. A little distance and discretion will give you some opportunity to collect your thoughts and prepare for the tribulations ahead.”[/color]
