I am a shadow, I am cold, and now I seek for warmth
As the Academy's Headmistress, Hotaru has a deep and personal investment in the outcome of Stormbreak's efforts, so of course she is in attendance. She's admittedly surprised Sohalia is the one at the front given she'd just met the girl and found her rather airheaded and young, but Hotaru has always been rather critical of leaders. So long as the defenses come down, it's not her region and therefore not her problem.
Instead of speaking to her directly she merely smiles and inclines her head from a small distance, clearly supportive and acknowledging they know each other, but holding back since she wants to be rather formal with these proceedings. For now she will merely watch and wait, ready to interject, question, and interrogate if needed. Right now she cannot afford to be kind.
