After hearing about the latest incident from last night, Briar, and the others head to the cafeteria for some breakfast, but also know that the next victim of the supposed accidents, Jamil Viper will be there. When they arrive, they look around to find the student.
"Jamil has long, black hair. Let's see..." Cater says, looking around.
Then finds the person, "Ah, there he is!"
The group looks to see him with Kalim, the housewarden of the Scarabia Dorm.
"Alright then, let's go ask and see if he knows anything," Briar says.
The group agrees and walks to the table where Kalim and Jamil are. As they approach, they notice that Jamil is wearing bandages wrapped around his hand.
When they arrive, Grim calls out, "You're the guy who got banged up in the kitchen yesterday, right? Mind if we chat?"
Jamil turns his head and looks down to see Grim, with Sereia, and Trinket close by.
"What is this? An inquisition?" Jamil questions.
Seeing Grim, Kalim freaks out, "Oh, hey! That's the weasel who set my rear on fire at orientation!"
Grim. You need to work on your tone. Tact is important for these sorts of things," Riddle calmly says to Grim.
Then turns to Kalim and Jamil, "Forgive us for interrupting your breakfast."
"Wow, the Heartslabyul housewarden and the fire-spitting weasel. Ahaha, what a fun combo!" Kalim says with laughter
Offended, Grim says, "I ain't a weasel! The name's Grim. And that's my minions, Briarthe human, Sereia the doll, Jasper and Tanzanti, the dwarf twins, and Trinket, the little fairy."
"Don't call us minions!" Jasper angrily says.
"That's right. Brar is our housewarden, and Tanzanite is the vice housewarden. We all agreed to it, so don't refer to them as minions," Sereia says.
Trinket nods her head in reply.
"Huh! Well, I'm Kalim, Scarabia's housewarden. And that's the vice housewarden, Jamil," Kalim happily says.
"Uh, sure," Grim replies.
Then mutters, "Man, this guy throws me off."
Briar notices the bandages wrapped around Jamil's hand and asks, "Are you okay?"
Jamil arches an eyebrow for the question, but quickly realizes Briar is asking about his hand.
"I'm alright. The injury isn't too serious,"Jamil answers.
He then asks, "So, why are you asking about my accident?"
Briar steps in and explains, "You see, we're here on the headmage's behest. He wanted us to investigate the incidents that's been going around at the school. We were told that you had an incident so we came to see if you know what happened, and think it might be connected with the other incidents.
"The headmage? Huh..." Jamil replies.
Briar nods her head, "Yes. Do you think you can tell us everything you know about your accident?
"Well, okay," Jamil replies.
Then Jamil explains, "Last night, I was in the kitchen frying up some lamb rolls at Kalim's request."
Then Kalim happily says, "Oh man, you guys have NO idea how amazing Jamil's lamb rolls are. You've gotta try 'em one day."
The group becomes a little dumbfounded.
