[[Filtered to staff]]

Ignore the cat basket near the fire in the secondary staff room. Its occupant was injured on the grounds and took refuge in the school. The rest of its recovery should take no more than a week.

*grim, pacing the deserted staff room with the journal on a lectern nearby*

Filch has found no fallen stone or limb near the castle, but that creature couldn't have come far with a broken back. *voice rises, unconsciously trying to block out the painful sound of the animal's breathing* Its very presence here is abominable. What kind of sick sadist would abandon a hairless cat in this climate -- to say nothing of covering its thin hide with tattoos? Why hasn't anyone come for it? Does nobody care?

Someone else should have found it. It isn't my business. There could be complications -- pneumonia -- congestion -- that healer was too optimistic by half. I have work to do. This is ridiculous. Events will take their course, with or without my attention.

*vanishes through the wall toward his office; a few moments pass; slinks back in and, with a muttered curse, resumes his pacing*

[[Guess who's going to keep the cat and doesn't know it yet. XDDD]]

*hard glare*

Thank you for that vote of confidence -- but there are problems that magic cannot and should not solve.

Come now. I'm sure that you will be able to find some barely relevant material in that library of self-authored grimoires.

*flinches*

*low, silky voice* I hardly think that enough of those still exist to be called a library. What do you know of my works, Ryuzaki?

Re: Filtered

Not as much as I should. I've thought about looking into the matter.

You really are an obnoxious little brat, aren't you?

*biting* Oh, feel free -- as long as you can leave what you find out of my classroom.

But of course. I trust you to keep my name confidential, it's only right that I return the favor.
