Jake's eyes hadn't been locked on the man's at first, but kind of darting around his face and stuff... he wasn't good with eye contact at all, and glanced over at Truebridge a couple of times as well, but once his they made eye contact he stuck with it as a matter of principle, no matter how much eye contact with anyone made Jake feel nervous and anxious.

"Jake," he responded simply, no physical indication of any emotions or difficulties or a need to put his sunglasses back on. He left out his surname.

But back to the matter at hand. "So... you're here as a member of security," Jake spoke, the statement just verging on a question. "Not as the deputy head?"

Jake glanced over at Vindictus, and then at Truebridge again, before looking back at... Ikea or whoever he was.

"Why do we need security?"

Perhaps the ones dressed in yellow were a nervous lot, Ikenna noted. They certainly weren't the 'brainy' group.

"Not just a member of security," he corrected Jake in a slow, warning tone. No, he was not the deputy headmaster either. Keep going, boy, you'll get there.

Now why did they need security? Gevrik didn't seem to blink or move his head yet he knew precisely who the Hufflepuff was looking toward, and that small movement made him smirk.

Ethan Alexander Truebridge would have his turn.

Tate shoved back from the table a bit more violently than he intended and glanced at the professors who were chatting amicably. What was the matter with this lot? Didn't they care at all about what was going on in the world?

"Mr. Upstead, welcome back. I suggest you address our guest with a sir, just as you would with the rest of the staff."

Tate snorted a bit and studied the table top, refusing to make eye contact with anyone until he had collected himself. Nope. Not collecting himself any time soon.

"At your leave, Mr. Ikenna... can we proceed with the speech?"

For now, he still had to deal with the less-mature children at the table. Surprisingly, they were the ones allowed to sit there.

"Tate," Ikenna would not give Gaellen 'Casey' Tate his respect until the man actually earned it. "is correct, Jake Upstead...Lawson...Morgan? Take a moment to think upon why Hogwarts might need an upgrade...or two...in security."

He finally turned his head to glare squarely at Tate's profile. "Mr. Gevrik, actually. I would appreciate it if you introduced me correctly." That would included NOT pronouncing his name as Garlic.

Vindictus.

"Oh, Headmaster, isn't that the way you came to Hogwarts? As a glorified babysitter?" She smiled at him, "Look where it got you..." She may have to watch her step around Truebridge, but Tate should be worried about his job around Ikenna...

Ikenna covered the sound of his chuckle with a fake cough. "Ah, hello again, Potions Mistress Lafay." His bitter expression was softening slightly as he looked from Hecate back toward Jake. Vindictus really was ageing if he thought he wouldn't be overhead by the Ghost.

"Since a few of you seem to be...confused at the moment, I think it would be best if everyone calmly returned to their seats and refrained from saying anything they will regret later."

He stood up next to Tate. "It's time for the speech."
