When Neal and Venus go to see Mr. Gladstone on Friday afternoon, they find him with Ms. Voss and the pair invite them to come sit in the spacious office and discuss...well. Whatever it is they came to discuss! The mention of of Joss Coburn has an obvious impact on them, though. Ms. Voss averts her eyes, looking wounded and strangely young. Mr. Gladstone pulls in a breath and slowly lets it out and asks them where they heard that name? He listens as they explain about the boy that came through the mirror, the key that he gave them, and the conversation with Mrs. Ruskin. By this time, there's a wet sheen in Ms. Voss' eyes and he lifts his hand as if to touch her shoulder, hesitates, and lowers it.
Looking at the teenagers, Mr. Gladstone says that he can tell them about Joss but that he'd rather tell everyone. And that he needs some time. He asks them to tell the others to meet them in the bottom floor of the dormitory before curfew. (We'll be doing an IC/OOC for this announcement just to keep everyone on the same page! So....incoming!)
When Venus goes to invite Mrs. Ruskin to the play, she seems touched. Of course she'll come! Nothing else to say here. But you just made a nice old woman's day. :)
