"BWAH! Housewarden?!" Ace jumped from his seat once he realized the guy behind him.
"Hey, Riddle, What's shakin', pal? You're lookin' adorbs as always!" Cater tried taking off the focus on Ace.
"Hmp. Cater, keep running that mouth and you'll loose—along with the rest of your head." The small red head did a fierce pose as he talked.
"Sorry, sorry my bad!" Cater shuts up quickly.
"Myah?! You're that guy who put that stupid collar at me in the orientation ceremony." Grim's grouchy voice yelled as his paws slam the table.
"And you're the new students that almost got expelled yesterday." He glanced at everyone except Cater and Trey.
"I'll ask you not refer to my signature spell as a 'stupid collar.'" He squint his eyes specifically at Grim.
"The headmage's habit of tolerating rulebreakers like you is going to send this entire campus spiraling into chaos one day." The tomato head's focus was now shifted to Ace.
"Those who break the rules should have their heads removed immediately, without exception." He stated in a really demanding tone.
"Dude, seriously? This guy looks like a wimp, but talks like a monster!" Ace sighed and scratched his head.
"The headmage may have forgiven you, but if you break any further rules, I assure you I will not." The midget gave Ace a unforgiving look.
"So, uh, listen, housewarden, sir... Any chance I could get you to remove this collar?" Ace tried to smooth talk the small guy.
"i had intended to remove it once you'd taken an opportunity to reflect upon your crimes." His tone stayed the same, it's like he went though these situations before.
"But I've not detected so much as a hint of remorse in the foolishness I've heard you spout today." He continued rambling on his leading butt.
"So I think I'll let you keep that for a while." He told Ace, in response Ace gave a horrible moody look.
"Don't worry. The freshman curriculum is more focused on magical theory than practice." The midget tried to reassure with the small detail.
