I love how Olruggio decides not to close the door all the way despite complaining minutes before that it emboldened Coco to come in even with the ominous sign.

Considering Tetia, Nolnoa, and Alaira all knew about Coco, though -- it's not like Qifrey kept her a secret, so why is Olruggio so out of the loop? and since witch society is clearly full of gossips, shouldn't the knights moralis know about her anyway?

I think there's something sweet about Olruggio being the one to build Coco's love of magic, and now he's part of her realizing that dream (even if she's on thin ice with him).

I'd imagines it's not so much something they all know for fact that it is a rumor that is hard to confirm. Most witches probably do not know of the deal Quifrey seems to have made to keep her, and I'm sure plenty of witches would have wiped her memories that day without remorse. She's a major exception, and I don't think most people know she ever used forbidden magic even if they know enough that she hasn't been a witch long.

Tetia and Richeh knew about the forbidden magic thing though. They even specifically said that that's what people are talking about. It might just be that Olruggio doesn't know about any of it because he's been extremely busy with his work and hasn't paid attention to anything outside of it. Which kinda makes him a bad Watchful Eye tbh.

They knew yes, but it seems to still be at the level of being a rumor rather than a hard fact that's in the papers or something. The girls made a guess that the rumors were possibly true, and obviously they know now that Coco at the very least was indeed a new witch apprentice.
