Dave POV -
After getting Hank and Alice to the Pack Doctor my mood was sour, I knew exactly what I needed to say at the meeting I had called, but I would need to work on the delivery, I didn't want it to sound like a 'my way or the highway' kind of situation, but at the same time, I didn't want anyone to work out loopholes and punish the rogues for actions they could not be fully blamed for.
This needed some thinking. As much as I would love to head to my office to work on what I was going to say, however, I decide to head to the common room, that way I will be seen and approachable by anyone who needs me. Grabbing a notepad and pen off my desk I hurry down the stairs from my office and take a seat beside the log fire happily burning in its grate.
I sit there contemplating what I am going to say and staring into the flames I nearly crap myself when someone touches my shoulder.
