[i]Joker stood next to the lodge door, glancing at Anne as she re-entered the lodge, the door closing behind her. He let out a soft sigh, so many questions, and fleeting time to work with. Quite the striking resemblance to his everyday school life in a way. His feet guided him toward the collection of people, his tailcoat flowing behind him as he absent-mindedly fixed his crimson gloves.
