WALKING INTO THE WOLVES' DEN II

"Well, Professor, welcome to my friend's estate." Emma said, turning around so that she was walking slowly forward with her back, while gesturing with her hands which were spread wide as she welcomed her professor to the governess' estate.

"Your friend?" Professor Perkins asked, masterfully masking the bewilderment in his voice, not wanting to let the human in on whatever he was feeling or thinking.

"Yeah, I have some quite royal friends you see. Melvina is the governess of the county, but she is my good friend. She allows me to call her by her name." She replied.

"Don't worry she doesn't bite. She is accommodating. I think she would love to meet you." She said, when she noticed the look of apprehension that had lasted for just one second on her professor's face.
