While A, as a general rule, is content to stay in his room, Schrodinger is a growing kitten, and always eager to explore and play. A's room is small, and even a tiny kitten seems to need space, so A has taken her to the Great Hall, where there is space for her to frolic

"I thought we had been over this," he told her. Ragari gave him a look that indicated that was news to her.
Jezz returned his attention to the human. He was aware that raven attacks were not the epitome of courtesy in most lands, and his own initial reaction hadn't been all that calm on his first encounter with Ragari, but the shriek had him lifting an eyebrow. "Apologies."

At another time he might have walked away from the conversation by this point, but now a detached fascination kept him. He'd known plenty of odd folk among the Jaelre and the Auzkovyn, drow who'd had various things twisted round inside their heads during their time in the Underdark. They'd had their places, their purposes, because perhaps the true rarity was one who came up into the Night Above utterly intact.
But this particular variety was an oddity among oddities. It might be that ones like this one were more common among humans, given that Jezz still didn't know many of the deeper things about surfacers, but if they cropped up among drow their life expectancy was not great.

A had a mixed opinion about the protective value of Hogwarts. On the one hand, there was L, who had given him Schrodinger, gotten him a wand, and said so many hard-to-believe things. On the other hand, B was here, horrible disgusting filthy B, and B still wanted to hurt him, to make him... A flinched, and shuddered. That was what the wand was for, why he would be learning hexes.
"I'm going to learn. How to protect her better."
Until then, he still had the knife.

"I'm not saying you will fail, understand. But a place without death, in neutrality-" Because if this were something like a temple of Lolth it would be a curse. "There's an inherent safety to that."
