Claire caught up with Dexter a mumbled a quick, "Sorry...."- though it probbaly souldn't be heard over the surge of students. A but louder, she added, "Let's hurry.." She did NOT want to be trampled.

Sable stepped into the warm, dimly lit room. Every wall was lined with bookshelves covered in spell books, scrolls, artifacts, ECT. In the center at a large oak desk was the person he was looking for.
Lionridge looked up and beamed. "OH~ Hello Sable~! How's my favorite little student council member??"
Sable smiled a bit uneasily. "Just fine, Ms. Lionridge."
Lionridge giggled excitedly. "OH~! You are just SO CUTE~! Come in! Sit down! I was JUST about to put some tea on!"
Sable sat at a chair in front of her desk. "No thanks.. I'm actually here for a bit of a problem.."
"Huh? A problem? On the first day of school?" Lionridge asked with concern. "Are you getting bullied? You know they're just jealous! OH NO WAIT! I know! It's a GIRL, isn't it?"
Sable smiled. "Yeah.. something like that..."
"AWW~! How SWEET~! What's her name? Is she cute? Yanno- there's nothing a girl finds more romantic than-"
"Uhh... actually- that's NOT why I came in here..."
Lionridge tilted her head to the side a bit. "Eh? Then what is it?"
Sable shrugged. "Do you have anything that can... you know... cancel psychic waves?"
"Cancel.. psychic waves?"
"Yeah.. like.... to prevent mind reading?"
Lionridge looked thoughful. After a few moments, she suggested, "Have you tried a tinfoil hat?"
Sable blinked a bit. "I was hoping for something a little less... noticable..."
"Hmm..." Lionridge stood up, walking to one of her shelves and pulling down a large, fairly aged book. She flipped a few pages and frowned. "Well.. I might be able to come up with something.. but it might take a while... Why don't you come back tomorrow morning?"
Sable nodded, also rising to his feet. "Thank you, Ms. Lionridge. I'll be sure to do that."
Lionridge set down her book and squee'd a bit. Rushing over to Sable and hugging him closely to her chest she giggled. "You are just TOO cute~!" She paused, hearing a muffled sound that somewhat resembled, "CAN'T BREATHE." She pulled Sable away. "Sorry~ You should probably run along to class now~ TATA~"
Sable caught his breath and nodded. "Right... later Ms. Lionridge..." And with that, he quickly walked out.
