"I think you would have spots," he teased. "Too unique for stripes and not wild enough to be a zebra."

He smirked for a moment, but let the armor fall just long enough for her to see that he was serious. "I imagine the missing students felt the same way as they tramped through the woods." Then the armor snapped up again and he oozed with humor. "If you get kidnapped I will not pass charms this year."

"Fair enough," she nodded. "What's your animagus? Something with a tough veneer and a soft underbelly?" she teased right back.

Her face was serious for a moment as she contemplated that. He was right, anything could have happened and some of those students were older than she was. "Will you be my personal chaperon then when I went to have a smoke in the woods?" she asked right back to goofing around. "We can't have the boy failing charms now can we?"

"There is nothing cuddly about a Black Mamba." He grinned though. "Sunny would tell you otherwise, but anything she says about me is all lies."

"You need only signal me and I will come chaperon you anywhere. I am a great champion of women, you know?" That was debatable, but he was serious. He'd drop anything and escort Meka wherever she wanted to go. "I believe the saying is that I have got your back."

She grinned. "If that's what you want to say dear Stasi," she teased.

"Well thanks, we can work out some smoke signals," she grinned. "A champion of women though? Sounds pretty honorable," she teased. "I've got your back to Stas. Though I'm sure I can only really help you in one department."

"Not while she is in earshot," Stas replied with his impish grin.

"You are not to tell anyone that I am an honorable man. I would hate it to ruin my reputation." Then he beamed at her and tried not to get too sentimental. "You can always send Milo my way if you need an escort. I do not mind a bit of company while smoking."

He offered her a sidelong frown as they arrived at the edge of campus. "There is only one department in which I need help."

Meka grinned and nodded. "Smart man," she nudged him. "My lips are sealed my friend," she looked over to where an impatient sophomore was waiting for her already. "Damn, that fucker is always early," she shook her head.

"Well I'll be seeing you soon Rico Sauve," she teased. "You know I can't go long without a smoke."
