A bit sheepish now, Z mustered up something that could be a smile.
"Sorry. I shouldn't have dumped all of that on you at once. Long day and all, and it's not like I have too many people I can talk to about all of this stuff."
Z really didn't mean to make Adam her therapist, it just sort of...happened. She needed to get out of the castle and talk to people who were entirely unconnected to school drama and politics.
"I'm mostly just stressing the fuck out because until Schechter can hire a proper Runes instructor, I'm the best we've got, except for maybe Victoria and it's just, finding time and balancing everything. It's difficult."
That was the understatement of the year. Z needed to sort about a million things out, then she would be able to function and be less of a bitch to people.
"Anyways. I'm fine with Victoria being part of the project-she's an excellent asset. I just really wasn't expecting that. I should have known she'd realize something was off with the wards and then come talk to you. So, sorry for biting your head off about that."
