Professor Vantas?

Um, could you come out to the lake? Nepeta really needs to see you.

If you don't see this I'm going to your office anyway. Sorry, I don't know how to make these entries private.

[Oh, there he is. Norman gets up with her, but rather stays where he is while she goes to hug him. Maybe now was the time for him to leave. They probably had important things to talk about. He was still worried about Nepeta but there wasn't anything he could likely do to help her that her father couldn't do.]

[He can't answer her right away, he's still a little busy trying to catch his breath. But he does throw his arms around her and hug her as tightly as he can manage.]

Of course...of course I did, sweetheart. [He swallows hard, his breathing beginning to even out so he can at least talk with only a little gasping. He looks at Norman and smiles.] Thank you for staying with her.

[She internally frets a little for him until he seems to catch his breath. She looks back at Norman, and while she is certain the two probably already knows each other from class it's only polite to introduce them.]

Dad, this is my friend, Norman. Norman, this is my dad.

[Norman was kind of a wallflower, anyway. He didn't exactly raise his hand in class or anything like that and tended to keep interaction with anyone down to a minimum.]

[So Nepeta blatantly calling him a friend well. Surprised him, for sure. The sad thing is he really didn't think anyone's ever really done that before. So his cheeks turn a little red and he nods.]

Um. Hi.
