alt_linusSir,
Might I speak with you on a matter of possible extreme urgency?
As you are no doubt aware, the ongoing challenges include some interesting little traps for candidates. Up until this point, I have managed to acquit myself in such as way as to avoid covering the name of Moon with shame. However, it has come to my attention in a most unfortunate way that I am the recipient of one such little trap which may prove more disastrous than the originator intended.
I did try my utmost to disarm it just now, but I am not sanguine about my success in removing the hex from the brooch. If you will allow me to test it, I can either set my fears at rest or make them eminently clear to both of us. With your forbearance, then:
One wishes of course to be thought of as a model of probity and discretion, unlike certain names that will live in infamy, not to mention some of my schoolmates. It would be most remiss of me, should I be unable to remove a hex that apparently compels the spilling of details and observations that should remain unspoken, to allow such a situation to persist without informing you, given the situation. Giving Padma a frank airing of my views on Finnegan is one thing, and I regret it, no matter how momentarily pleasurable it may have been; lecturing the Lord Protector's son on his reluctance to grasp the privileges and trappings to which he is entitled by his station, no matter how unfathomably feckless he seems to be regarding such things, is another matter entir--
Oh dear. I believe the removal attempt was unsuccessful. You see my problem, I am quite sure.
The originator of the hex could not have known what secrets are chained within the sepulchre of my silence. One particular secret, particularly. Which is chained. Have I mentioned how much I admire your facility with the implementation of protective measures such as, for instance, geas? And thank you again, for that, by the way, sir. Did I tell you how grateful I was for that? Very grateful, sir. For your forbearance and guidance, and for understanding that I did not mean to stray into territory which should not be examined, let alone quantified and analysed.
Even now I find the hex intensifying, and it is only a matter of time before I speak of matters of which I may not speak. Literally.
Oh dear
on my way

on 2014-02-21 03:50 am (UTC)Why is it always on ThursdaysI do not think my spellwork will be so easily overriden by a cursed object, Mr Moon, but I likewise would not wish you to be unduly distressed.
Wait outside my office, rather than attempting to open the door -- I will be there as soon as I might.
