Give me five minutes.

[He's supposed to be teaching a class right now but something like this is much more important without question. He announces a study period and trusts the seventh years not to cause trouble before hurrying out of the classroom to the charms corriror.]

[When he gets to the Charms corridor, Karkat will be standing there conversing with a much older man in military uniform. For all accounts Karkat looks okay, if not a bit uncomfortable. When he sees Sal, it takes a lot of willpower not to call out 'dad' the way he has been the last few months. Instead, he just lifts his hand and waves. It's kind of funny since Kankri arrived just then too.]
