At the moment, Blake is angry enough to try and help anyone whose trying to escape. So, he'll probably help Penelope try to escape. If he's able to find some kind of weapon, paticularly something resembling a staff, his success chance will increase.
@Aisling "Have you given a thought to the future?" Blake said to Mictlantecuhtli. "This is far from over."
Then Blake, being sufficiently dramatic, walked off. He stormed off, wanting to get as far away from here as possible. He was not interested in seeing other people.
Elizabeth was the first to arrive. Her dedication to the art of magic was greater than that of all her peers, and her potential was as wide as thr girth of the oceans. She gave Lady Violetta a greeting and prepared to expand and explore her mind.
Blake stood behind Bessie and Aaron, and kept a notable eye on Aaron. They were only shaking hands. That was good. Such contact was innocuous, and www less physical than he was actually used to. And good thing if anyone tried to take Bessie from him he'd rip their damn head off.
Now that was an odd thing to think. He wondered what exactly it was that made him think like that. He must be still a little tired.
@Aisling "Oh, is it a good afternoon?" Blake said nonchalantly. "This is it. This tea party has a good chance to be boring. You have quite beautiful eyes. I do hope that this tea party is a little more than meets the eye. Even in the drudgery of class, it would be better. There is nothing that I can go to seize."
