There was talk the next morning in the hallways. M/n and Pantalone were called to the headmasters office. Both thought it was ridiculous that they would be called in this early, but it is what it is. One of the things that both hated was being talked about. Be it good or bad they didn't know. Pantalone only cared about reputation. Anyone he heard was talking down on the Fatui or any harbingers were dealt with one way or another. M/n just hated it in general. He could care less what people thought of him though. The opinions of teenagers were worthless anyway. They arrived at Crowley's office a couple minutes later. M/n knocked on the door before coming in.

"Ah glad you two could be here. Your punctuality is appreciated." 

"Yeah yeah. Listen, I got classes in about 30 minutes. What was so important that you needed both of us here."

'School life has really changed you huh Dottore?' Pantalone thought. 'I hope you don't find it like the Akademiya.'

"Well, Dottore, I have come to discuss means of getting your..friend here back to where he should be." M/n went silent after that. "I think it will take about a couple weeks to accomplish. So for now he needs to make the decision of rooming with you or in Ramshackle. Oh and he needs to pull his own weight. As I have done with Yuu, I don't let people freeload. Regardless of age."

"Is there any other option. My dorm is small and can barely fit me. And lets be realistic. Ramshackle? Its bad enough that you make Yuu stay there." 

Pantalone decided to chime in.

"Dottore to be fair when did you care? You put your test subjects in a room with your "failed" ones. You've treated humans worse then the Raiden Shogun. And that saying something."

"Are you still talking? Let me take care of this. Don't forget I'm sticking my head out for you." 

Pantalone put his hands up and he backed off. M/n discussed with Crowley for about 15 more minutes until they came to conclusion that for now he would room with M/n until they found an empty dorm. Pantalone was secretly excited. Sure he'd known M/n but never on that kind of level. It was going to be a new experience, so both had to get used to each other quickly.

"Oh and Dottore, before you leave, We have a meeting with Housewardens later today. All staff are too attend."

"Mhm count on me to be there then."

"Good"

No one said anything about the night before while they walked to the gardens. M/n appreciated that but he knew it was going to come up at some point. Just his luck to have the three Vice Housewardens that just happened to be there the night of his incident. Jade greeted them at the door and they all went inside. He told them that first they had to water the plants in side the greenhouse since they didn't water them in a while. They nodded, grabbed some hoses and watering cans and got to work. About ten minutes in M/n felt someone tap on his shoulder. It was Trey.

",All of us are done. We would like to ask you something if you don't mind."

"There it is." He mumbled to himself "Yes Mr. Clover let me just finish up here and you three can ask anything you'd like." Trey went away to talk to Rook and Jade. After a little while M/n was done he went over to a table to join the three. He sighed and motioned them to start asking what they needed too.

"So me, Roi des clubs, and Monsieur Anguille have some questions about yesterday night. It is only fair as we are confused. Rightfully so. You can refuse questions if they are uncomfortable or you genuinely don't have an answer." 

"Look at you guys. Setting terms and taking charge of this. How brave." Jade rose his hand.

"If I may ask the first question professor. What exactly is a harbinger?"

"Ah. Well to put it in more..simpler terms, one of the the jobs we are required to do sometimes, is the work of an envoy. I myself have done it once and it proved to be quite bountiful. Another job that I have yet to experience is recruitment. For what, that may be your next question."

"Alright then, recruitment for what?"

"I am uncomfortable with answering that." He smiled innocently and yet again, motioned them to continue.

"Trey do you have any questions you wish to have answered?" Jade asked the boy next to him.

"I only have one."

"And what, pray tell, would that be Mr.Clover?"

"What specifically do YOU do?"

"Oh. Hm, well let's just say that there is a reason my name means "The Doctor". I'll leave it at that for now."

"Rook what about you?"

"I am fine for now. I'll get all my answers later." M/n looked at Rook confused while the two on his side refused to look at anything but the table. To avoid eye contact M/n assumed. They knew what was happening. M/n hummed and got up. 

"Well we must not waste the time that we have. Time is a concept that is poorly understood. After all, we all only have so much of it. It is valuable in ways that your heads couldn't wrap around."

"Yes Professor." They all said. So they walked with him throughout the period. All awaiting results that would provided by Rook's detailed..observations."

Pantalone sat on M/n's bed reading a book. He had pet the Hedgehog for most of the day. Until he found the books, he was pretty bored most of the time. M/n walked into the room and sighed. Both said their hellos and make small talk. M/n sat at his desk and asked the man in front of him how life in Teyvat was going. Unbeknownst to the both of them a certain Pomefiore student watched. The entire time...

"Ah Rook. What have you got for me?" The man did not look away from the vanity mirror to look at his friend. Vil kept focus on his makeup.

"Roi de poison." Rook greeted and went on one knee. He quickly got up and started speaking. "He hails from a land called Teyvat."

"Huh? I've never heard of such a place."

"Neither have I. He also talks about tests..its all quite gruesome." Rook was describing what the two men had previously talked about, and Vil was sick to his stomach. But he pushed that all out of his mind when he heard the smallest bit of shuffling outside.

"Wait just a moment." Vil got up and opened the door to his room. Epel, who had his ear pressed up against the door, fell on the carpet. "It seems that we have a visitor my friend." 

Epel scrambled to get up. But Rook reacted quicker. He grabbed the small boy by the collar of his dorm uniform and held him down. Vil bent down and grabbed Epel's face and held it up close to his own.

"Don't you know it's quite rude to eavesdrop. Your just a freshman and what does that mean?" Epel didn't answer "You don't know?"

Vil gripped his face harsher.

"It means freshman, stay OUT of upperclassmen's business. Do I make myself clear?"

He looked away from Vil. So Vil made him look.

"Well? The punishment will only be worse if you don't talk. I recall you could speak however. You had quite a lot to say after orientation."

"Yes Housewarden.."

"Good." Vil let go of his face and waved his hand to let Rook to get off of the poor boy. 

"Now, I expect you don't speak what was spoken here today. Though I don't know much of what you heard. Your punishment is one on one etiquette lessons. Epel I apologize for almost ruining that perfect face of yours..and do try to remember where you stand in this dorm. If you don't you might find yourself in a situation with me that you can't quite get out of. Rook take him away now. I need to finish up." 

Rook nodded and led Epel out of the room. He had to let Vil prepare after all. After they were so rudely interrupted.
