Vincent walked quietly along the schoolward side of the wall, noticing that the sky was slowly growing darker toward the east. The sun was setting. Ariel had told him she was going out to meet someone by the wall, but she hadn't mentioned who. That alone had made him suspicious. He had followed her out here shortly after she had left his side, and he was now certain he had heard her voice nearby.
A male voice answered the echoes of Ariel's voice. Both were coming from a large tree close to the wall; Vincent could see the shaded figure of one of the people seated in the crook of the thick branches. The last of the sunlight lit the edges of her golden curls. Ariel.
He calmly paused just below the couple in the tree, looking up at them in mild disapproval as he made his presence known. "Boo."

Ariel jumped at the sound of her father's voice from below, slipping a little from her perch and nearly falling.
"Dad!" she yelped, clutching harder onto the branch she was leaning on. "Don't DO that!" She peered down at his unsmiling, masked face. "Why did you follow me? You knew where I was going."

"All well and good, but it would have been nice to know whom you were going to meet," Vincent replied rather coolly. "I thought you would have noticed that it's getting dark. You should both be inside by now," he told them, glancing at the other person in the tree: a young boy with long blond hair, light eyes and pale skin. "And who might you be, young man?"

"Troublemaker extrordinare?" he tried tentatively, hiding further in the tree. Her father... he hadn't expected that! He looked at the sky, biting his lip fiercely again. It was after nine... oops. Big oops. Like Oh-shit-I'm-going-to-see-the-Headmaster-again-oops. He crawled even higher in the tree, as close to the wall as he could. How often had he faced this before? He tried to think... and couldn't remember. He hadn't even done anything!

"That's apparent." A slight smile hovered briefly at the corner of Vincent's mouth. "Do I dare ask what you two were doing up there?" He turned his gaze to his daughter with the question.

"It was nothing, Dad," Ariel assured her father, shifting position so that she hung down from the branch, and then letting go, landing in a crouch on the grass. "We were just talking. Ask him."

Korlian looked warily at Vincent, ready to bolt over the wall and into the forest the moment he felt he was in danger. "I just wanted to make friends and she was coming by..." he said. "She helped me find something I lost..." his voice barely carried over to Vincent.

Vincent gave a small nod, relaxing his firm posture a little as he was reassured that nothing was amiss. "Ah, so you're the Korlian Ariel told me about earlier. It's good to see you're settling in and making friends here." Looking back at Ariel he added, "Please remember to tell me who you're meeting, especially so close to curfew. I don't want anything to happen to you."
He looked up at Korlian one last time. "I'm letting you off with a warning. Stay clear of the forest, especially near nightfall. And bear in mind that this is by no means an invitation for a repeat offense. Am I clear?"

Korlian nodded quickly. "Crystal, sir."
He jumped out of the tree, landing on and running across the wall toward his room. He got out of trouble this time and would be careful to stay out of this professor's way. Well, after hours anyway. And not let him know how much time he spent near the forest. He wasn't going to be locked off from there.

Vincent watched the boy dart away along the walltop, sighing and shaking his head as he started to head back inside. "Don't let him rub off on you, Ari. I don't want you getting into trouble."

Ariel fell into step beside her father, stretching her legs to keep up with his long, even strides. "I'll be careful. Promise."
