Claimer: I do hereby claim all rights and responsibility for the characters in this series of vignettes because the Amaranthine Saga is mine. (Which means I should probably behave myself since anything I say or do could be taken as canon.) Indulge the lot of us, especially the one with good influences.

Jacques could have verbally dismantled the administrator, but to what end? These days, his authority had nothing to do with the lords in his ancestry… and everything to do with the lord he served. Jacques cast aside weapons gone rusty with disuse in favor of fresher inheritances.
From Michael, an unwavering optimism.
From Hisoka, the priority of peace.
From Argent, the longest of long views.
This kerfuffle wouldn’t be a waste of time if Isla learned something. So Jacques opened the nearest window and decorously propped his hip against the sill. “I say! Where’s a Skybellow when you need one?”

Honestly I’m hoping someone else drops the names for him so we can see his haughty pity for the admin… hahaha

I’m wondering how long the admin has been doing this job, to be unaware of Isla Ward, a now third year student. Go, Jacques
