It wasn't that Key didn't like people, that just wasn't true. This was not the reason that she found herself leaving through the door to get a breath of fresh air. It was crowds that she didn't like. Granted, her reasons did not really apply in this case, but it was a habit formed over centuries, and it was hard to break. After all, the more people one is surrounded by... the more people that can potentially learn a secret you are trying to hide.

However, once outside, she found herself regretting it. A grimace formed on her lips, and she sent a glare toward Mark. They didn't usually talk, but every time she caught him with one of those dreadful things in his mouth, Key had to say something about it. "How many times must I tell you how awful those are for you?" She didn't bother telling him the real reason she hated cigarettes. She was not a spirit, or mage, or anything of the like, but it didn't mean she hadn't formed a bond with her element. In fact, it was possible that she felt more for fire than the previously mentioned. It was what gave her new life, and to see it used in this way was just... she suppressed a gag and looked over the school grounds.

"I'll leave them all up to you then. I'll be in my office if anyone needs me," was heard in her mind, and Key found herself shaking her head in an attempt to get the voice out. It was not the first time the Headmistress had done this, but she didn't think she could ever get used to it. When her eyes opened again, she finally noticed a small girl staring, silent. It was odd to say the least.

"Hello." Her smile was warm as she talked to the girl, afraid that she was dealing with one of those shy types. "I'm Miss Begay, the school librarian. Was there a question you had? Somewhere you'd like to go?"
