“Alright, alright!! Just let go of me...!!!”  Tartah squirms as best he can to wrest the man’s hands from his shoulders.  He tries not to make a scene, but this isn’t the most ideal scenario to be placed in.  Tartah does know him, although given the circumstances, he is not the most enthused to see him here.  Of all available options, depending on Qifrey most of all doesn’t imbue him with the most confidence.

“Jeez, I’m not helpless, you know.”  He can manage fine!  He’s done his best thus far!!  He would love to prove it, but it’s like Qifrey has a sixth sense to any potential harm to young witches-in-training.  He barely gave Tartah any time.  Still, he has his own place to stay, so it’s not like he’s stuck with Qifrey.  Silver linings, or something of the sort. He just needs to brace himself for whatever kind of overbearing nonsense he's about to be thrown into.
