Re: {Altamira} Zachary Leos' Training.
Some days, those trifling little annoyances you'd normally brush off add up--the encumbering work matters, the frustrating idiocy of those around you--everything boils down to a point.
Cadenza's return to the Dome was one of those days. Sniveling menservants and couriers, clutching whole archives of papers to their fragile bodies, seemed to just run to her from every hall and door and library, shoving trembling fistfuls of notes and notices--you have a new student and you've got to read this letter from so-and-so and it's your turn to deal with the creatures from this world. The gypsy couldn't remember all these trivial little things from before; she sparred with other teachers, she trained her own students, ate, slept, and kept to herself. Being a full-fledged teacher was obviously going to be very different--perhaps in some ways a nice change from a thief, but curse it all if another bloody messenger sprang in front of her and--
--down the hall, was that the kid Louis had mentioned to her before? The hair was a striking enough shade of red, but she couldn't make out any other substantial details from this distance. She considered going to speak to him for a fraction of a second, but then she remembered that Merridale had left already and that Avello was unattended in her rooms, and sprinted away down the hall to see to the dragon instead. If anything good had come of her time here, it was that she had a new, swift mode of transport and nice living quarters--and she wasn't about to let the former ruin the latter in the search for meat in the kitchen.
Had she not been in such a rush--and had she not already been annoyed beyond tolerance that day--she might not have delivered a punch backed with shadow magic to the courier who was carrying a notice announcing the return of yet another teacher.
And yet, there he lay nursing his broken nose as the gypsy ran on.
OoC: Please excuse any rustiness on my part--it's been quite a while since I last wrote an RP post (and I've only been back in an English-speaking country for five days.) ^^;;
