“I’m not ROAMING, exactly,” he definitely was, since he’s
really just lurking around the school looking for potential
leads on the recent murder case. Connor’s good at turning
on the charm though, leaning against some lockers casually
when he gets a look at the – who he assumes is a teacher
addressing him. Eyebrows raise – not bad. 

“– Guess I just didn’t think to pick up a pass,” he smiles
as he approaches the other man. There’s a brief pause
before he tilts his head slightly to the side, gesturing with
his pointer finger, “Is it SAFE to assume you’re a teacher
here?” He doesn’t exactly feel like pointing out the fact
that his boss has sent him on a fact-finding mission to
help them build a case for their new client – details. 

Layne had a fair amount of moments where he could
be considered dense, but he could call BULLSHIT when
he saw it. This guy was neither a teacher nor was he a
student, so he was just a roaming visitor. He let out a
laugh as the other said he didn’t think to pick up a
pass. A lot of people didn’t think to pick one up now.
Left the students to get harassed or hurt, or even let
another incident through the doors.

“ Layne Neills. I’m one of the art teachers here and on
hall duty. ” Obvious enough and something that can be
checked out with the office if there were any questions.
No one could be careful enough around here, that being
the reason why he didn’t say he was the one to find the
body. Well - one of them. There were two other teachers
who had seen the corpse at the desk, thinking he was
only asleep until further inspection. It fazed him a great
deal but he still thought of the students first and keeping
them safe. “ Who am I to assume you work for? Seem
too young to be with the police so you’re either press or
something else. ”
