Hands flex into fists. "I dunno. Things are different."

"In what way?"

Her jaw juts out, then she shakes her head and shrugs.

Slowly, "If you are not treating them differently...are they treating you differently?"

She looks away, scowling. Shrug.

"Mm." A nod. "Because of your rank?"

"Or because of your House?"

"I am different, though."

A nod. "It will take time to adjust."

"Whatever. I don't... " She stops, not completing the lie.

A hint of a grin, and a nod. "I understand, I think. Dagmar...come to the Lodge after school tomorrow. We will spar, and talk some more."

"Coffee, Chief?"

Tove comes in with the mug

"Yes, Chief."

"Thank you, Tove." She accepts the mug easily and takes a sip, nodding approval.

"How is your singing career progressing?"

"Quite well" She smiles And proceeds to tell her

And tove seems flattered by the interest, and Dagmar might be glad to have the focus off her for a ibt.

Dagmar sits and listens, interjecting praise for Tove from time to time.

Brekke listens with interest and enjoys her coffee.

Looks like Tove knows the way she likes it. And yes, it's good news
