With the grace of an elephant and profanity of a teenager, that boy finally entered his office. The headmaster carefully popped the last of his biscuit into his mouth and chewed slowly, eyeing him up and down. Over the centuries, he'd had his fair share of semi-permanent residents. Those who needed a place to feel safe. A place where they were wanted. Or simply a place to learn to control powers that were, let's say, resistant to being controlled. He was more than happy to offer such a place to those who needed it, but rarely did one come across who was so… resentful about his stay.
Despite being reminded, multiple times, that he was welcome to leave at any time. Provided he could adequately control his powers under emotional distress. Hmm. Perhaps it was still too soon.
"Ezikyl!" The Headmaster greeted with a smile that showed far too many tiny, razor-sharp teeth. "Fancy you should stop in! I was just wondering when you'd get around to bringing him here.” At this the headmaster tilted his head slightly, rising from his desk as if trying to see around the student in front of him. "Well? Where is he?"
He’d been rather specific with his instructions!
"You know? The boy wandering in the woods? I did send you to fetch him.” Here he paused and hummed, tapping his child with one curved claw. “Oh, wait, silly me.” The Headmaster plopped back into his chair with a chuckle. “I’m going to send you to fetch him. You best hurry, he's about to learn a dangerous lesson about motherhood. If you hurry he might not need to be carried back!”
With a shooing motion, the Headmaster turned away from the child at his door and selected a new biscuit to nibble on. Time to look at the funnies! Oh, he did enjoy newspapers.
crack
Of course he wouldn't have two fucking minutes to himself before something went wrong. Kadin whipped around, glaring into the woods and whatever the fuck thought it could sneak up on him, only to be met with nothing. Because why would anything be there? Now he was going crazy. Cursing a bit more under his breath, he wandered a bit towards where he’d heard to the sound, refusing to believe that just a few days in the woods by himself would make him start hearing things.
As he got closer, he started to hear a soft snuffling sort of sound. It kinda sounded like a dog sniffing around for something. There was more rustling, too, and scratching. A few weird sort of grunt sounds. Until, lo and behold, Kadin found himself looking down at a really fucking adorable bear cub that looked like it was trying to dig up something under a bush.
“Oh. Shit.”
