The campus was relatively quiet that afternoon, many still reeling from what was to them probably a large shock. Not every day your headmaster went off his rocker, he supposed. But Xandre had no such delusions. Or perhaps, too many? Everyone seemed to be torn on the details these days. But he felt no desire to move from his spot, a personal favorite sat back against the trunk of an ever aging tree, lounging under it’s offered shade and picking idly at his nails.
