[ota] beware, be canny and careful
She doesn't regret it in the slightest. What's to regret?
Eileen is fully capable of making her own decisions. She's allowed to decide to leave Kevin behind and go visit the Spade dungeon. And someone--she's not certain who--is also fully capable of infinitely childishly telling Kevin exactly where he or she saw his theoretical charge slipping off to while he was turned around. And Kevin is not just capable but essentially required to tell her mother things like where her daughter was this past weekend.
Which means Eileen Eicheln has, for the first time in her life, seen her mother actually angry. It also means, for the first time in her life and very likely one of the first times in history, the Ace of Clubs is grounded.
Mr Kahl is allowed to bring work and keep her up to date with her studies. A student from Mr DeWitt's class is allowed to spend a bit of time letting her know what's she's missed. The King and Jack are certainly permitted to speak to their Ace at their convenience.
But everyone else? Is getting Kevin's most sympathetic smile and a firm shake of his head. "Seems house arrest is catching."
[ooc; Except probably anyone with half a reason can talk to the moodiest tween about how she done wrong. Kevin is secretly easy. Or just come shoot the shit with Kevin, I guess? o/]

"...can... we talk about Edgar again soon?"
Easier to let go if she didn't refer to him as her father.
no subject
Just try to come in the mornings. He's less likely to have drunk as much as he would have if she popped by in the evening.
But she probably already knew that.

"Thank you, Mr Caleb."

"Be careful with the book, alright? It's falling apart as it is." He patted her on the back lightly before making his way out the door, though he must have started growling at Kevin again the moment he stood in the doorway.
See. Growling does work.
no subject
And she will. It's good to have work to focus on, good to be able to throw herself into something deep and quiet and really useful for a bit, get her mind off of the reason she's stuck in one spot.
And Kevin? Kevin will flinch like he's meant to.
Definitely not getting paid enough for this shit.
