[He closes his eyes, and then reopens them.] I have a duty to report this, yes, but the exact nature of what I report is- flexible. [He studies Nelly for a moment.] I need to tell the administration something about what happened, at least before the rumors start flying. [A smile, and a shake of the head.] Don't worry, I know you won't say anything, but these things have a way of getting out all the same. It seems to be a Law of Nature around here. [Veidt's expression turns faintly bemused.]
Perhaps [he unfolds one finger and taps it against his chin] we'll focus on the issue of corporal punishment, hmm? As lax as things are at this school, that's still frowned on, and it would put Müller on some notice as far as the administration goes, which is a very good thing, in my opinion. [Veidt's eyes flash once, and then his expression returns to normal.]
The other part of this...well. I think we can continue to deal with that privately. [Müller's been sufficiently warned, Veidt thinks, and it's not likely that he would try to do it with another student.]
