Reaper, Chara, and Vira-Lorr. [ His mouth twists, tense and unhappy. ] There may have been others, but none that I personally had the misfortune of facing. In truth, I don't know how much further trouble we must prepare for... July was a powerful influence upon many, and it is possible that the atmosphere of violence has subsided.

[ But Ozpin is not known for his bracing optimism, so he adds: ]

However, I fear the enemies we've made will not be so easily appeased.

[ Right, Vira-Lorr. He can only assume (hope) that July was most of the reason she made a showing at the group effort to burn the Remnant's home to cinders, but it's still a bit awkward knowing that someone he considers a friend was involved.

Much easier, then to focus on the other subject at hand. ]

I doubt they will. Willow alone has made some persistent enemies.

[ Ford doesn't say this in a judgemental tone, because even Ford knows he has absolutely no room to judge people for their ability to make enemies with the worst people imaginable. He does adopt a thoughtful expression, however, and rises from his seat to investigate the living room bookshelf - or more specifically, the journals he has stored there. ]

But now that you know who exactly they are it'll be easier to build defenses against them. I know a barrier spell that isn't too difficult to modify, provided you can find the right reagents.

[ This comes as a surprise to him, though it shouldn't. It is another of these unsettled little moments in which he finds he's stepped too far into comfort, and is now thrown upon remembering the cracks. There is an awkward fumble, and then he nods. ]

I would be glad to hear it. Willow has defensive magic of her own, of course... but I will be little help in that regard, and it seems best not to rely on the very person they'd seek to target.
