Dar heard the word 'fire' and spun around, now feeling heat coming from a fellow teacher, causing him to back away. Aura took up a protective position in front of him as he backed away, prepared to douse any flames that might emerge, though it appeared as if none would. Once the pair were back far enough, Dar sighed, [i]"What a way to start my first day, huh?"[/i] he spoke to Aura. The dragon returned back to his side, though her eyes remained on the two males near them, [i][color=lightblue]"Perhaps it best we go find Lady Violetta and announce your arrival?"[/color][/i] she suggested to him. Dar chuckled, [i]"It's likely she knows already, if this place is anything like the old academy."[/i] he replied. He stroked Aura's head before deciding to head into the academy, pulling out the map he had been given after accepting the job. He figured out where the Headmistress' office was and made his way there, coming to a stop just outside the closed door, [i]Must be busy, guess I'll wait.[/i] he thought to himself. He looked around and took a seat, Aura sitting near him and resting her head on one of his legs, allowing him to stroke her head again as she let out soft gurgling noises.
