@huntsman-ash liked for a starter !
Never in his life had the headmaster imagined feeling such relief at the sight of Atlas military. Given his situation with James, prior to the fall, it seemed almost ironic that this spark of hope should come in such a manner. As if the universe was making him eat his words, which he was more than fine with if this ended anywhere close to well.
Though, given his luck as of late, he wasn’t especially hopeful.
He waited until the grimm were dealt with, partially because he didn’t want to risk appearing hostile, and partially because his leg and back weren’t cooperating today, before approaching the group at as brisk a pace as he could manage, makeshift walking stick leading the way.
“Excuse me! I need to speak with you a moment.”
