Quill Knight sat at his desk back in his office, rolled scrolls and papers strewn carelessly about. The smell of alchemy lingered from his earlier teaching that day. His feet were up as he sat in a reclining position by the window, the Ravencroft paper in his lap as he read over the local news. In his other hand was a small pipe full of sagenettle leaf, which he took a toke of; he blew the smoke out, and it languidly filled the room around him. His eyes scanned the section of the paper about the local sports team, the hat tricks, having won another game. "Maybe I should check out a game..." he said as more of a thoughtful murmur to himself, setting down the pipe as his fingers drummed lightly on the desk.
His dazed gaze was drawn out the window of his office, where he saw in the courtyard both the headmaster of the Academy and one of the more pretentious professors engaged in what looked like a heated discussion. Quill sat up straighter, his eyes narrowing slightly as he focused on the two, wondering what was going on. Before he could think too hard about it, there was a knock at his office door. "Ah, shit," he glanced over before pushing himself up with a slight groan at his protesting joints. With a wave of his hand, the smoke vanished as he got up further.
Walking around his desk with his perpetual limp, he straightened his vest some, pushing his hair out of his face. He leaned back against the front of his desk, his arms folding over his chest. "Come in," he called out, clearing his throat as it was still a touch hoarse from his smoke session. When você opened the door and walked in, Quill's brows raised slightly.
He had heard that a new recruit would be arriving from the mainland. Deepwood Academy was quite the prestigious school and rather small; not just anyone was allowed here, so his curiosity was piqued about their new addition. "Ah, you must be the newcomer from overseas?" he said in a bit of a smooth drawl. "Professor Quill Knight," he introduced himself, with a curl of his lips as he pushed himself off his desk.
