Dear Miss Rasputin,

Having received word that you are on the way to recovering, I believe the time has come for you and I to have a discussion on certain matters pertaining to events of the other week. Both in the interests of your personal safety, and the safety of the school. Please notify me of a convenient time and place for such a discussion to take place.

Sincerely,

Dr Strange.

You know, there's this thing here called "staff". I know, I know, it must astonish you that in a school there are indeed teachers, but they exist. And because I like them more than I like you, I've spoken with one of them already. I'm safe, the school's safe, and really, I have no interest feedng any further information to your "protege" through you.

Come if you like. But before you come, perhaps you should brush up on your creation magic, because I just can't take any sorcerer too seriously if he can't at least do that. It's just so tedious to have you sitting there like I don't know the 1262 antiemblemblematic earth-magic theories or whatever.

Not actually very sincerely,

Illyana Rasputin

Dear Miss Rasputin,

Thank you for your reply. I am indeed aware there are staff at the school, and I have been liasing with Professor Xavier. However, until such time one of the staff prove to have a working knowledge of magic and demon dimensions, I'm afraid we shall continue to be stuck with each other. At least until such time as I am satisfied you and the school are indeed safe. Given recent events, you'll forgive me if I don't accept simply being told that - you have told me before there is nothing to worry about, but I was unaware 'nothing' included attacks on your person by demons.

I have told you repeatedly that Miss Sefton hears nothing from me about you or your situation. It would be unethical of me to divulge any information I receive. Whatever she knows, or thinks she knows, is from her alone. I would suggest that perhaps that shielding spell of yours is perhaps not as effective as it used to be?

I'll be at the school Friday evening, with creation magic in hand, so to speak. Anything in particular you wanted me to work on? Psychic weaponry, perhaps?

Still sincerely,

Doctor Strange

Attacks on my person by demons seem to be overwhelmingly in the category of my business. Don't you have a job? I am certain you have a job. Perhaps you could instruct Amanda on less consuming ways to ward her room rather than bothering with uncooperative people like me.

I am so inclined to take your word on what you tell "Miss Sefton", by the way. So very, very inclined. Often, I feel the inclination becoming stronger.

No, no, not the psychic weapons -- I wouldn't want you to strain yourself. Why don't you just conjure up some brownies or something? It might be a little more your speed.

Sincerely wishing you would go away,

Illyana Rasputin
