Private eyes
WHO: Rhys Rhydderch and OPEN
TONE: Varied, but probably some element of creepy
RATING: PG-ish, unless something weird happens
WHEN: Throughout the day and evening, Novermeber 15
WHERE: All around Hogwarts
WHAT: Rhys has some questions about one of his students
STATUS: Ongoing
Rhys had to admit - Hogwarts didn't disappoint when it came to interesting things happening. No, it wasn't anywhere near so high stakes as the Wizengamot, but then things were more chaotic and he appreciated that about the environment. The volatile mix of teenage hormones, children's bad judgment, and a staff that seemed prone (and least some of them) to interpersonal drama made for a constant source of amusement, anyway. He was part of none of it, of course, knowing better than to get his personal life mixed up with work, but he did enjoy how incredibly unprofessional so many of his colleague could be.
But lately, something had started to engage him personally. Or someone, rather - the older Makara boy. The younger one was talented at potions, certainly, but it was the elder that had that intriguing edge, that intellectual curiosity and inherent darkness that made him stand out. But he had to know more, and that meant doing more than just examining school records. That meant questions.
He knew Kurloz was close to Dolores, so he'd start with her. But he thought it might be good to talk to some of the other students he'd seen hanging around the boy, as well. Of course, he'd have to be discreet about it. Take them aside after class, or speak to them briefly in the hallway for those he didn't teach, and depending on the conversation, possibly a little memory charm to modify things just slightly. It wouldn't do to be seen as too interested, after all.
[OOC: Essentially this post is open to anyone, teacher or student, who might have ever interacted with Kurloz. They don't have to be pals - Rhys doesn't know which students are friends and which have just talked to him in passing.]

[He narrows his eyes ever so slightly.] He's a strange lad. He's well mannered and he's amiable enough, much more focused on his studies than the other Makara. Though he seems to have very particular interests. He has the makings of a fine wizard, under the right instruction..
[He trails off, giving Rhys a pointedly accusing look.] Why.
[It isn't asked in a questioning tone, his voice is flat and he's expecting an answer.]

He can't help narrowing his eyes more as Rhys as he speaks.]
Thoughts such as...?
[He has a feeling it ties in with recent...occurances, but he has no intention of telling Rhys that. Not yet, anyway.]

If you wish to assist him you will give me some reason to trust what has been said.

As I said, he's a bright and talented young man, but you are correct in the fact that he's far from being a healthy boy. At least not mentally. However, I can't imagine would tellin' you would do to help him.

You didn't honestly think I'd tell you anything, did you/

[He answers in a curt voice, giving him a flat look as he turns to leave. He's going to keep an eye on Kurloz, but there's absolutely no way he could ever share anything so secret with Rhys of all people.]
