10+: On a 10+, they will happily grant you a favor.

⚂⚅ 3,6+2 (1 AMBITION, +1 FORWARD). It's starting to become clear that Master Firetail has an inclination towards this sort of thing.

You search the face of the flamboyantly attired yet curiously reserved master of your house. As much admiration as you have for the man, there's a little twinkle in his eyes contrasting with an otherwise motionless facial expression that sets you on edge and makes you think of Samara, for some reason.

"Well, your forward thinking is most commendable, Miss Weber." Fergus said with a serene nod, shuffling his papers back into place with a little sweep of his wand, then offhandedly letting it slip back down to his side. "As it so happens, I myself shall be available to chaperone events for Leontes underclassmen on that day and the next. As you have been recognized as a fine upcoming witch by several professors and advanced students, I have no problem dedicating an evening to helping a group of students take the time to appreciate the history and beauty of the academy grounds. However, if you intend to make this a matter of semi-open invitations, then I am afraid I shall have to withhold some of the more... delicate and secretive portions."

"Oh, that's fine," you sputter excitedly without thinking much. "Anywhere that's nice and priva- I mean, I'm sure anywhere will be nice. And, as long as you give us permission, we wouldn't ask you to spend your entire evening watching us just... appreciate the atmosphere and practice casting spells!" Shut up, shut up! you tell yourself inwardly, a little too late.

Master Firetail gives a jolly little chuckle and gives you a look that is kindly and inviting but also more than a little stern. "Yes, very good - now... Miss Weber. Honesty is an important virtue of House Leontes. If you are honest with yourself and those you care about, there is nothing wrong with expressing your desires or wanting what some say you shouldn't. So I ask you without a whisper of judgement - is your intention in setting up this outdoor evening party to create a place for a large number of students from several houses to engage in promiscuous sex acts with multiple sequential - even simultaneous - partners? A great mass of writhing couples in a circle under the stars?"

You make a few odd noises. "G'uuhhhh-a-hummm," you stall for time, murmuring nonsensically as you go pale with surprise. Well - after your overly revealing comments earlier, it would just insult his intelligence to deny it. With a sinking feeling you wonder if you are about to get a lecture. "Yes, Housemaster. It vas to be ze orgy." you mutter in the same voice you would've used as a child to admit you broke some of mother's fine glassware too badly to fix.

Fergus nods, looking quite satisfied with himself, and begins slowly rubbing his hands together. "Now - the great House Leontes is called 'traditional' sometimes. Perhaps in some times and places, there was an expectation of witches in particular to by shy, passive, and generally chaste... but the Boarbristle I have known is a place for all young magicians to find themselves. There's nothing wrong with a witch newly bloomed into adulthood having a healthy libido. Even if it is occasionally ravenous, it is perfectly alright so long as her heart is true." He regards you warmly. "You've probably been cutting quite a path through the young men in your classes. Probably not just them, either."

You nod, giving him a shy smile and blushing again. "A couple of wizards, yes... and a girl. Um, so, does this mean...?"

"Splendid. Simply splendid." Master Firetail speaks in a mild, content tone as if his favorite dessert were being served. "I must insist against any libations except, perhaps, for a few mild aphrodisiacs from the gardens. But aside from that, I, mmm.. I encourage you to make the festivities as carnal as you and your friends can manage." He strokes his whiskers again and chuckles under his breath. "Of course I must attend in case there is any magical backlash or uncontrolled spells... oh, but I realize that having an authority figure of a house lingering over them might make some of the students hesitant. I shall be sure to keep myself concealed with spells of invisibility throughout. Anything for the students, ohhh yes~"

Not knowing what else to say, you thank him graciously and back out. Well - that went quite well, though you're not sure if you should mention Fergus Firetail's presence to those you are inviting. That leaves acquiring supplies, which you can take care of tomorrow. But first, you might want to spy on what Chen and Berthold are doing... or should you? On the one hand, it would be fun, but neither of them have exactly given you permission. Maybe you should just imagine, and catch up with Chen in a few days. In any case, you're sure that Berthold will be eager to go to Turnbuckle with you tomorrow, and he's promised he'll bring what few coins he can spare.

Possible perspective switch to Chen Teung for following scene/s.
