This is a largish wooden panelled room with a large Dining Table in the middle.
This is where the Staff come and eat at night and on formal occasions.

"Haha," she cried victoriously. "I have found it!"
Bursting into the staff dining room, Skuld was greeted by a large room. A huge wooden table graced the center of the room with it's ornate decoration and beautiful stain. It looked fit for a king in his royal throne room. But royalty was not what Skuld was feeling at the moment.
She had forgotten what it would be like to be around students who unconsciously cast out powers that in all likelihood they did not know they had. She felt drained, but even more than this, she felt that not only was it the people around her draining the energy but something about the place itself.
The rest of the evening she hoped to spend in mediation, rebuilding some of her barriers in order to make it through the next few months.
Walking further into the room she called around to see if anyone else had yet arrived.

Sam walked in through a set of double doors on the other side of the room. He was dressed in his normal casual suit.
"Good Evening Skuld." he said "I see that you found your way here."
He smiled and moved around the table. It had been set for the three teachers who had arrived so far.
"I must say though that you could have used the entrance from our suite."
Skuld frowned.
"The Staff Suite is a collection of offices, quite places for marking and a small kitchen. It is set on three floors in an area of the builidng which is completely locked off from the students. The main staff room and kitchen part being on the first floor, offices on the second and the quiet places are just behind those doors." he laughed at Skuld's face as she gave him an incredulous look.
"I know this place is a maze but the staff room area is an easy way to navigate from. I am sorry I should have told you earlier or at least programmed the computer to tell you . I apologise."
He moved to a chair and held it out for Skuld.
"Would you like to take a seat. I believe Syn will be joining us soon."

Joss stood at the end of the hall, leaning against the doorframe hearing the conversation
"I think you forgot to mention someone else as well" she called out nad walked down the hall towards them, seeing Sam's face and she smiled
"You think i'm going to eat with the kids..you've got to be kidding me" she said grinning and kissed Sam briefly before sitting down next to where Sam would sit, though there was no cutlery in front of her so she, with her mind got some from the kitchen and it appeared in front of her

Sam smiled as he saw Joss.
"I didn't know where you were going to eat Joss. Sorry for not having a place set for you."
The Headmaster turned to Skuld.
"Joss this is Skuld our new magical teacher who we've heard great things about. Skuld this is Joss Hunter one of Syn's first students along with myself and a gifted Telekinetic."

"Well hello, Joss," Skuld reached out a hand, "it is nice to meet you. And, dear, I am sure you are gifted, else you would not be here. Anyway, I am absoutely starving, is there any way we could sit?"
Turning to the table.
"Right, we do need another table setting, do we not? Headmaster, where can I find the fixing for this young lady?"

Sam laughed.
"Skuld you can call me Sam. Headmaster is too formal and you can't run a working relationship on formality." he said as Joss mouthed the words. He frowned at her and then smiled. "I think I'm using that saying a little too often."
As the two ladies sat he walked over to a dor that was hidden in the wooden panelling. He pushed it open to reveal the staff kitchens. It was busy with cooks and chefs wizzing around preparing food.
A waiter spotted Sam in the doorway and smiled. "Ah. Headmaster I shall commence serving immediately." he said in a thick French accent.
"Thank you Gaston. Could you also re-direct Miss Hunters meal here as well please."
"I took the liberty of doing that earlier Headmaster." smiled the waiter.
"Excellent.!"
Sam closed the door and sat down.
"Syn will be late again probably so I think we can eat. I believe we're having fresh tomato soup for starter.That is if you like it. If anyone would prfer different the Chef would gladly cook it for you."
With that he took a bread roll from a basket that was on the table, tore it apart, buttered it and put it back down onto the table, waiting for Gaston to come through with the meal.

Joss grinned to sam at his comment then watched him walk off and talk to the chef. While he did that she poured herself a drink.
Seeing him comeback she listened to his words "Mmm, haven't had tomato soup for ages" she said happily, as she had the jug of coffee in it "Want some?" she asked holdign it over Sam's cup "Skuld you?" she also asked

As Joss offered Skuld the jug of coffee the kitchen door opened and three waiters came in holding a bowl of delicious smelling, thick tomato soup.
They placed the bowls infront of the seated staff and went back through the door.
Sam griined. He loved tomato soup. He dipped his roll in and took a bite. It was absolutely delcious, just as the smell had predicted.

Jos put down the jug and looked to the soup which had now been put in front of her
"Mmm smells gorgeous" she and looked to the butter
"Could you pass me the butter please sam?" she asked so that she could butter her bread roll

"It smells amazing," Skuld said, "don't mind if I try about."
Skuld took a sip of the tomatos soup, drinking it down like water.
"This is amazing. What else have we got here?"

Sam smiled at both of their reactions. He was happy that Syn and himself had finally been able to share the Chefs extraordinary cooking talents.
"You can have anything you want Skuld. Just ask the chef whenever you want." he said finishing off the soup and another roll as he waited for the women to finish their starters.
