Avery's breathing was heavier than normal having made good pace back to the academy. He had long since let go of Aurum and honestly wasn't even sure if he was still following him or not. He rolled around the doorway to the headmaster's office only to find that he was speaking to someone else entirely. Amarant paused mid-speech, tilting his body to see around his visitor. "Ms de Cortez is already gone," he told Avery as he shooed him away.
Avery left without saying anything and made his way toward the team's dorm room. He noticed the mask sitting beside Saffron's bed and picked it up, recognizing it from his previous visits to the headmaster's office. Avery sighed as he set it down and took a seat on his bed, leaning forward and resting his head upon his clasped hands. "She's quick," he said half-jokingly, but he didn't even crack a smile himself.
