She'll run a little further, then take the call after scanning her surroundings. Expulsion?

"Miss Lunetta!" exclaims a woman's voice (definitely not the Headmaster, if Lunetta's searching her memories - she's seen him several times at official functions.)

"Are you all right?  Er, do you think you are -?"

Memory dip. Do I know her?

(She sounds familiar, probably one of the Headmaster's secretaries who spoke yesterday when people were moving in?  Or maybe at some official function earlier?  Lunetta wasn't really paying attention to who was saying things.)

(Marius, next to her, is having a whispered conversation with Abelard and looking relieved.)

"We're fine. There was something wrong with the prince's speeder. We don't know what. We've both exited it and moved a fair distance away." Speaking of which, she'll keep walking and gesture for Marius to follow, just in case there's about to be a legendary explosion.

"Good?" she says, still clearly confused but sighing in relief.

"If the Royal Watch doesn't want you, please --"

She cuts off.

They've slowed down to talk, so a woman from the Royal Watch was able to catch up.

"Actually, Your Highness, ma'am, would you please come with me to the infirmary research annex?  After Givann's body-sabotage warning, we want to make sure it didn't hurt either of you!"

She glances back at the hanger, where other Watchmen and School Sentries are milling in confusion.  Nothing's exploded yet.

"Body-sabotage?" She'll follow unless there emerges a reason not to.

Marius, who's finished his conversation with Abelard, looks nervous.  "Could be anything from trying to destroy Givann's organs to trying to hijack his mind.  Not his soul, that's - wait, were you wearing those new soul-magic-guard amulets?  I don't see how he wouldn't be fine unless someone did something really weird to that flyer, but..."

He trails off.  The same morning Lunetta wakes with these strange memories, someone does something strange to the flyer?  The obvious explanation is -

"I'm sorry, Lunetta, but -"  He taps his bracelet.  "Officer at arms.  Politest secrecy, of course, but - Send someone to search Lunetta's bedchamber for unknown body-sabotage magic."

Yeah, that's... fair. Fortunately, she didn't actually do it and this world has truth magic. "I'll cooperate fully with any investigation."
