[Gently:]

I came to you to ask you directly, rather than file a complaint. He is young and easily scared and I wanted more information.

And speaking of young, 'future blood mage magister' is not set in stone. There is a chance to bring him back from that edge, Norrington. Bringing up Tranquility and telling someone they are lucky it's not being practiced does not help there. I ask you to be gentle and understand that he is afraid and alone.
