The Principal's Office

[tailor_made]

The door to the principal’s office is open at all hours, although you will only find Hester at the receptionist’s desk from 8:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. This is primarily where you can have private conversations with her. Though there’s an actual office in the back, it is always closed and locked.

Because I know most of you hate me. [She says it so softly but as a resigned fact.] And it's okay. I'm used to people not liking me.

At least here you all have a good reason.

[at that, he frowns slightly, in concern]

...I...am sorry to hear that. That this is something you're used to. In here I cannot say that I fault those here in their bitterness, however...there is the saying that I'm well aware of about not shooting the messenger. Here, if I'm not mistaken, you deliver whatever messages the Wizard asks you to. You are not an architect of whatever game is being played here.

However...I cannot imagine what on the outside would make anyone treat you that way. Not when you've been so kind and helpful to myself and others, when it was requested.

I didn't make it but I'm helping. And no matter what our reasons are, I don't think they're wrong to hate me. [She shrugs her shoulder slightly but smiles a vague little smile.]

I've...been told I can be very annoying, monsieur. That and I was moved around so much when I was younger I never really made many friends.

...I'm sorry for to hear that, Mademoiselle Hester. I know it is perhaps of little comfort, but...I cannot fathom what anyone could find annoying about you. [there is, perhaps, a touch of anger in his voice] And even if they did, to treat you terribly is simply intolerable.

I'm sorry that whomever these people are have treated you unkindly.
