"That's okay."  Ikaria smiles.  "I know you don't like other people to see you with your hood down.  I think the only people you've opened up to are your brother and myself, but with your brother away it kinda makes things difficult for you.  I think you actually look kinda cute, with or without the hood...but then most people tend to disregard my opinions anyway."  She adds with a slight chuckle.  "Student's come back to my office, time after time with the same injuries regardless of how many tellings off I give them."  She pauses for a moment before continuing.  "Oh...and you're welcome to stay here for as long as you want sweetie, besides...not even Fexiryn has learned everything in the library and she's been around for over 500 years.  She was the librarian here when the school first opened 27 long years ago, back then I was just another shy and naiive first year student.  That and I was amongst the first to graduate.  Time after time, the teacher's get replaced, student's come and go, but Fexiryn, Valarinth and myself have always remained.  If you wish to stay here forever then we'd gladly welcome you as part of our family."  Ikaria finished the rest of her lunch and waited for Sinala to finish hers before they'd both head up to the library where the schools biggest secrets were kept hidden away.
