Keilee thinks for a few moments before smiling.
"Then why don't we give them incentive to talk. We have to get their barriers lowered at some point anyway, so if we can just find them and meet them, we could find out their terms to speak with us, and then try to find a way around the no talking thing... Ooh, what if we give them a hostage until the meeting? That should make them feel confident that we won't backstab them."

"Of course, dear. Don't hesitate to ask for help. I'm something of a wizard when it comes to plants."

Mus'ad nods before getting to work, pruning and digging and gardening with as much vigor as he can muster. Soon, he's done and turns to start to walk away before making a show of realizing he's forgetting something and turning back to the professor. He quickly pulls out his deck, shuffling the cards rapidly before stopping and pulling a card from the middle, which he hands to Ververs. Looking it over would reveal that it's the two of cups reversed.
"Hm... Two of cups reversed. Generally that indicates interpersonal problems at work, such as differing ideals with a co-worker and the like... Or I suppose in this case, having to cover their classes."

Mus'ad looks visibly annoyed at Kruger's words, but bites his tongue and instead turns to Kaya.
"So, what are you plans for later? I was going to do some work in the greenhouse myself."

Keilee still looks dejected for a bit, before slowly brightening up as she considers this. If Keith is in the room next door, then maybe she could find a hole in the wall and...

Needless to say, Keilee's mood has rapidly improved.

Keilee doesn't look so enthused about separate rooms.
"Yeah, that's nice...."

If one happened to take a peek into her head, Keilee's thoughts would show up roughly similar to the following:

DAMMIT! How am I supposed to wat- make sure Keith is safe if people aren't sharing rooms!?

So business as usual there.

Mus'ad gives Kaya a thumbs up and heads off to get his food. Perhaps unsurprisingly for anyone that knows him well, Mus'ad's burger gets doused in hot sauce (after a taste to see how it is alone) as soon as humanly possible. He additionally adds some red pepper flakes from the last time there was pizza for that extra little kick.

"Romance, huh? You know, I overheard a bunch of the first-years daring each other to ask me out to dinner. It was pretty funny, never mind how flattered I was that they'd have take an interest in a woman my age. How about....work? I wanna see if Professor Greyhame'll make me take over his classes AGAIN."

Mus'ad nods.
"Then after I'm done I'll be happy to confer to you the whispers of fate."
This, of course, was just a cover for the fact that while he was working he'd be using his arte to concentrate on the Professor's future at work. He'd gotten good at making excuses like that.

With nothing else much to do, Mus'ad heads to the dining room after Kaya.

After, he'd likely head to the greenhouses to do some work, followed by doing some independent study. Save the rest for now.

Mus'ad had listened in silence after approaching Professor Ramsay with the rest of the class. He inwardly sighed when no mention of himself came up, worrying slightly about how his grades might be affected, before shrugging it off. He'd worry when he got the results back he supposed. For now, he decided to just see what his classmates had to say. After all, someone surely was going to make a bit of of a scene, he didn't even need his arte to know that.
