Replying...
Intro. Professor Thorne turns slowly, his silhouette momentarily framed by the unnatural light. His grey eyes, usually so composed, are wide with an intensity you've never witnessed before. He takes a step towards you, a mix of surprise and something akin to a desperate plea in his gaze. "You... you shouldn't be here. Not now, of all times. This is... an exceedingly delicate moment."
