Chapter Text
Riddle really couldn't focus on the meeting, why you ask? Because the hedgehogs from his dorm managed to sneak into the normal room for dorm head meetings (a.k.a. Crowley's office) and now he has to violently resist the urge to pet, play with, and absolutely dote on the adorable little balls of spikes. This is actually incredibly hard to do seeing as the hedgehogs tend to take priority now that he isn't trying to uphold every rule...
"Riddle, it's quite strange to see you so unfocused, could I perhaps interest you in my help to deal with whatever is bothering y-"
With that Riddle stands up in the middle of the meeting with enough force his chair practically screams louder than the petty argument between Vil and Leona (which was about one word away from becoming a literal screaming match) and bolts right to the hedgehogs unknowingly interrupting Azul's attempt at tricking him out of his unique magic yet again as the faint shred of stubborn willpower he had snaps at Rosie and the newer one Inkwell(named for his dark almost Vanta black coloration and his sudden appearance post Riddle's overblot.) Giving him the pleading starry eyes.
No one else has any idea what the hell was happening one second the meeting was running as smoothly as it normally does(completely going badly) then Riddle who had admittedly been oddly quiet suddenly stood up and ran over to the corner and was playing with some little things like they weren't in the middle of an important discussion (read idiotic arguments). Wait those are hedgehogs, why are hedgehogs in the office and how does their mere presence some how make Riddle do what ever the hell form of aggressive fawning that is?
"Aww Rosie you know damn well you are way to cute to ignore with those adorably tiny paws and stunningly elegant quill curvature."
No one I the room could believe what was happening except for Lilia who distinctly remembers a similar occurrence between Yu and the sight of his bat form, cooing, cuddling, and total starry-eyed lack of focus on anything else going on without it being life or death included. He admittedly enjoyed the attention quite a bit and so he fully understands why the hedgehogs seem to draw the redhead's attention back at the slightest semblance of going back to the meeting.
"Where the hell did those freaking hedgehogs go-, crap. Duece the hedgehogs found riddle!"
"I'll go get Chen'ya!"
Did Ace just mention an rsa student?
