accidental additions to the orphan club

As the meeting came to an end, the guilt was beginning to crescendo into an unbearable clenching of his gut. He had to talk to Theory, and see what she wanted to do with him. He trailed after her with head low and tail half tucked, his glowing gaze downcast as he followed the sound of her receding pawsteps. When he caught up to her, his ears flickered hesitantly, wanting to lower against his crown in shame while he battled with openly displaying his guilt or hiding it away in an effort to maintain his strong facade. He cleared his throat softly, dark tipped tail twitching against his inner thigh anxiously. He took a few steps closer to her, and lifted his mercury gaze to see what kind of expression she wore. Depending on how she was feeling just at the sight of him, he would have to adjust his approach accordingly.

"Sequ- Headmistress?" he nearly choked on his own tongue, and hesitation left him stumbling over the most basic greeting. "Do you have a moment?" he asked quietly, glancing around self consciously in case anyone else had more pressing matters to address with her. The pallid yearling was already regretting his decision immensely. The urge to simply continue hiding the young boy away, and pretending he had not done something incredibly deplorable in a fit of madness... it might win out if he didn't confess right away.
