Thread: Your Weekly Appointment WHO: Jack Cavanaugh and Galadari Rubinhart WHERE: Jack's temporary office WHEN: Friday afternoon
Outside, you could hear the shouts of the other students as they streamed out of the castle, ready to embrace the weekend. Snowballs were thrown, gossip was exchanged, plans were made. Even inside Jack's office, you could almost feel the palpable excitement pouring in through the crack in the window. Inside, however, it fell flat. Here, it was quiet, the only sound the scratching of Jack's pen as he filled out forms.
Galad was at his usual desk. Jack had picked Friday afternoon purposefully, thinking it was one of the most valuable hours of free time to be taken away from a student. While he knew he could not give Galadari detention indefinitely, he knew it would have to be a long one to make an impression on him. He had earned it, openly defying Jack after having taken flight on the injured Roc.
Easy fixes indeed.
Usually, Galad would engage in conversation during his detention, but thus far, Jack felt like they had not made much progress. This time, Jack hoped it would be different. He raised his eyes from his paper and asked: "How was your week, Mr. Rubinhart?"
