There was something at the back of his mind, a nagging feeling that had grown more and more pronounced every time he heard Professor Croan speak. Thus arousing suspition that he felt validated was the moment the man vanished.

He decided to share it with the group 

[color=FFCC33][i]"Guys, I'm beggining to suspect that Professor Croan doesn't like us"[/i][/color]

He was joking of course and made sure his smile reflected that, while he wanted to do the whole clueless act everyone was acting way too serious for that to fly. Speaking of...

He looked towards Jake, he said something really interesting [color=FFCC33]"If you want another name just ask people to call you that"[/color] He thought for a moment [color=FFCC33]" Or you could get yourself adopted into a family I suppose"[/color]

Wisdom delivered he turned towards the handsome man, and he couldn't help but laugh good naturatedly, he was not sure if the other man was being serious, joking or a mix of the two, he was accustomed to that kind of joke and if he wasn't he would politely decline. Being in a relationship was such a drag.

[color=FFCC33]"A curse? I will be honest, I have never had much direct contact with them before but if it is centered around an object I should be able to check it out at least"[/color]

It was giving him ideas, a crow? No, not quite right, was it even avian?... A frog! Of course, with soft textiles for the stomach and a strong structure for the frame, no wings but cat front legs and the tail of a monkey, pelican beak! Yes and... Oh right people were speaking.

Hearing Connie explain what happened to those that crossed the door dimmed his enthusiasm [color=FFCC33]"Madness eh? That sounds nasty[/color] it was a weaponized mental illness, frankly it made him queasy to think about, it also gave him an idea [color=FFCC33]"Have people tried to use non-biological familiars or golems?"[/color] That may be an avenue of exploration.

Sharing his thoughts he decided to see how his Covenmates(?) interacted. Maybe it was rash but he suspected that Connie and the other man [color=FFCC33][i]"Should ask for his name at some point... Although it IS funny waiting for someone to say it"[/i][/color] He was also surprised! Connie seemed the levelheaded type but it was clear she would start bickering with the handsome man if left alone.

However, that wasn't as important as the moment Connie pulled her [url=https://img.roleplayerguild.com/prod/users/01989523-aa1d-777c-82d3-4cf473a23137.webp]key[/url].

[color=FFCC33]"Oh hey! we got the same one!"[/color]

He pulled his own to show it.
