Shea kept eating and let Juniken talk. She'd gotten used to letting other people finish all their words and thoughts before offering any of her own. Cutting them off tended to end poorly over the years and she was content to be quiet and let them screw up rather than offering a way for them to talk around her. And it looked like Shea had tripped just the right thing to let Jenny talk for quite a while.

Of course there was no plan for saving the school. While it was comforting to know she wasn't planning on blindly murdering everything that was currently living in the school, she still didn't know what she was going to do with the beings currently inhabiting most of the halls. If she didn't have that worked out, she probably also didn't have a plan worked out to clear away the rubble or restore the school to the state it was before. If she was planning to open the school, she would need to talk to the ministry for funding so that they could hire staff once more and, well, Shea was decently certain that anything that far in the future had yet to even be pondered.

"And it would take care of you with or without your three jobs..."

Shea smiled at that. That was definitely a child talking. Even without her history, Shea knew not to rely too much on magic to provide everything for her. That was a recipe for dependence that would end only in disaster. If you hoped the magical decaying castle would provide for you, then you were probably too far gone in your own idealism and nostalgia to be saved at this point. Especially when you were old enough to have graduated and moved on from there by now.

"I mean, why did you come back, if you thought there wasn't anything left here?"

Her first thought was, Poor life decisions. She kept that to herself and finished the last of her meal.

"Nostalgia," Shea said instead. "I'm going to go check out my old school too, but I passed through first. And then there was this whole thing with a Hat attacking me and at no point saying that I was going to have to save the school. Maybe it needs me to keep going on with my life and send contractors back to you who can actually do things like build castles once you figure out a plan for the monsters and get the halls safe again."
