"A staff member 'iced' the boy because he had murdered another student. Unless you plan on murdering someone in the near future, I think you're safe." Othello returned, shrugging slightly as he continued forward.
"Did people react nonchalantly to his death? Yes. In fact, one of the people you sat with hardly reacted to his death at all. Taking something in stride doesn't make you dangerous. It makes you a little off and possibly dead emotionally, but it doesn't make you inherently dangerous." Othello commented, walking forward to stand by Benny's side.
"And Benny, game's are games. There's nothing at stake there except for what pride you put into it. This is real, where everyone's life is at stake. I doubt there'll be people ready to step out of line like those two did, knowing now what price they would pay. Militarizing ourselves will only make us seem like we're ready to step outside those boundaries, an impression I would rather not give off."
"Benny. I'll tell the guys to come, we'll plan things like how to meet up after classes, or what games we like to play or how to help each other out when we're feeling stressed or boxed in, like you seem to be doing now." Othello began, before turning towards Benny.
"But militarizing our group because you're basing your paranoia off of two kids who flipped their lids, a teacher who punished a boy for murder, a punishment the teacher thought was appropriate, and a few games is not something I will let happen. There are too many good people in our group to just rip away what faith they have in their peers, and I refuse to do so." Othello said, his smile slipping to a very small size as he spoke.
That smile, however, grew once again as Kirana approached. Othello looked over to her. “Hello there, good to see you again. I’m doing fine, still a tad shaken from earlier, but the lecture has piqued my curiosity for magic.”
