Akina was on her way to see the Headmistress, but first she wanted a certain little boy to know she was here and to give him a heads up on what he was to do, act, and grades he was to accomplish. Akina was very firm on that subject.
She walked into the hall and stopped admiring what a beautiful place and healthy atmosphere this will be for him. She knew instantly that this will be a good school for him. He would be disciplined, pushed to do his best, and hopefully become something great in the wizarding world.

Lily cocked her head curiously at this new stranger. She was lying in the hall on her stomach reading a book. Could it perhaps be a new teacher? Or was she a danger, a threat? She had better find out. "Who are you?" She asked bluntly. "And why are you here?" She was used to seeing strange new students, but adults?

Akina looked at the child with silghtly slitted eyes. She approached teh girl in three steps. She looked down at her from enormous height her being 6 foot 1 in heels.
"Young lady has this school taught you how to be rude? I think not. That is not the way you speak to an adult, no matter what your history may have proven. Now we will try again. What do you say?"
Akina could be patient. She sensed something about this child. Her eyes almost looked like they were scared, but there was determination there. Akina was very intrigued by this little girl.

Lily grumbled a few things under her breath. She had however been taught to address adults properly. That didn't mean she trusted them. "Hello ma'am," she said. "May I inquire as to who you are and what you are doing here in this school?" She looked down at her book to hide the rolling of her eyes.

Akina was impressed and she showed it with her eyes. She smiled quickly and politely before addressing the child's questions.
"I am Agent Akina Stone. You may call me Agent Stone or Ms. Stone. With whom am I speaking with?"
Akina deliberately didn't answer the second question the child had asked her.

Lily didn't miss a beat. This lady, this Akina Stone person was hiding something. "I won't give up my name," Lily said. "Until you tell me why you're here. I'm not an idiot." For all she knew, they could have decided to unemmancipate her and she was being forced to go back to her dad. She wasn't entirely sure that was possible but she wasn't about to take any risks.

Akina shrugged. She did a sweep with her eyes taking in the castle again. She was sure Nicolae was behaving himself and probably thrilled to be here. He better be.
"That decision is yours, child as the other is mine. Also I never implied you were a fool or idiot as you put it. You are living, breathing, and as such I expect you to be thinking. Nothing less nothing more."

Lily rolled her eyes. This lady had made a bad impression on her. She seemed stuck up and a bit snobbish. She hated adults like that. Actually, come to think of it, she hated anyone like that. "Tell me," Lily asked. "What do you gain from not telling you why you are here? I can't offer assistance if I know not why you're here."

Akina smiled.
"Ahhhh! That is a good question. I gain by not letting out someone's information. If I was your case worker would you like it if I told anyone that I've just met and who I don't know your history. I think not. Besides if you truly want to offer assistance then would you be so kind as to direct me to the Headmistress office?"

Nic was walking towards the great hall when he saw a statuesque woman in the hall. "Agent Stone!" Nic walked over and he wanted to hug her he was that happy she was there. He didn't tell her, but the two weeks they were together he felt she was like his replacement mom. She could never replace his real mother, but she was a good alternative. "What are you doing here? I've been good. I've been making ...uh grades, and I haven't gotten into any trouble. Honest."
Nic walked over to Lily and pulled her closer to Agent Stone. "Tell her Lily, I haven't been in any fights, I haven't gotten detention or anything. I've been a model student. Honest, Honest." Nic started to take a few steps back as though he was going to run.

"This lady is with you?" Lily asked frowning. Nic seemed to like the women though, which puzzled her. "He hasn't," Lily said. "In fact he's been helping me." That was the truth. She was always a bit happier when he was around and he was a great friend to her.

Akina threw back her head and laughed. The sound was so warm and comforting that when she looked back down Nicolae was standing near her again with that dimple smile on his face.
"Nicolae Alexander Torque. Is that the way to greet me?"
Akina grasped his hand and shook it. She didn't know how far along their relationship was, but she'll work up to a hug. Akina acknowledge the girls' statement with a smile and a nod of her head.
"I know that Nicolae is behaving himself. I expect nothing less from him, but I'm here to have a talk with your Head of House and the Headmistress about you being here, and whom to contact if you are bad and whatnot. Though I know they will never have to contact myself. Correct?"

Nic nodded to Lily before Akina started asking him questions. He smiled up at the older woman and nodded his head again. "Nope, on my bestest behavior." Nic suddenly realized his hand was still on Lily's. He slowly dropped it hoping he didn't offend her. "Agent Stone, this is my friend Lily. Lily this is Agent Stone. This woman may look nice, but she's really harsh and mean. Makes you wash behind your ears, speak properly, and no slang." Nic laughed teasing the woman.

"I think I know that," Lily said, rather a bit too cold. "She doesn't really like curious people with a concern for safety." Lily hadn't noticed that Nic's hand was on hers until he dropped it. She blushed slighty. That wouldn't be considered as? She cut her thoughts off. She needed to focus on this woman.

Akina laughed at Nic's good natured ribbing. She did notice that he had dropped his hand from her arm, but only after awhile and that he still stood near her; protectively like was his nature. What Akina couldn't understand was why he was protecting her from him. Then it dawned on her he wanted Akina to like the girl.
"Now now, Nicolae. Don't go telling the truth and making it sound so horrible." Akina stared at the young girl and knew she had made an enemy before she even started. Akina gave a slight internal shrug. That was the girl's problems or Nicolae's not her own.
"That's not true at all darling. I don't like curious people who ask questions rudely." Akina stated firmly. "Now Nicolae how is your life here? Actually, we'll catch up later. I need to see your Head of House and your Headmistress. We should meet..." Akina wasn't sure.
