[His reply comes a little while later, as he's really taken the time to... consider her words.]
I apologize, Miss Lalonde. I never intended to sound like I was belittling you or trying to make myself seem unapproachable. My mission, first and foremost, is the safety and order of this castle and it's students. I came expecting chaos and I have received nothing but from most students. Perhaps I treated those like you unfairly.
I do not want us to be enemies, Miss Lalonde. In fact, I would like for us to be able to be friends.
However, given that I expect others to refer to me as Inquisitor, it would look bad on me if I were to let you call me Professor in class when everyone else won't. Consider my position and how delicate the situation is. I need respect in order for this to work out and I need cooperation.
