Being "escorted" through the halls of the Academy by a Mage Hunter, whom she suspected of being the Shockstep Archon, was humiliating enough for Arc. It took too little time for her to be marched up the stairs and brought to the Chancellor's office, but also too much time in that she saw a very, very thick thread leading from her to whoever was on the other side of the door. Thick enough that the thread that felt like Chancellor Imogen got lost behind it with every shift. Almost like one of them was pacing.
As she and Owyn were made to sit, the latter finally showing some symptoms of blood loss with how pale he was getting, Arc lost all interest in reprimanding Owyn in favor of wondering just what kind of trouble he'd gotten her into.
