[color=#FFDF00][b]"It's only been one night thus far. Surely it can't have been that onerous."[/b][/color] Doric replied to Sherry with only mild surprise. [color=#FFDF00][b]"Of course the archbishop isn't going to take a single day's worth of complaints into consideration, considering all those that have come through the academy before. At least give him a chance, would you? I'll not disagree about the current situation, though."[/b][/color]

Indeed, it was absolutely absurd that the professor still hadn't arrived yet after nearly [i]forty minutes[/i]. Fortunately for Theodoric, Andrion finally decided to reappear, tossing him a wrapped package. Doric deftly caught it in one hand with a raised eyebrow, unwrapping it to reveal a rather appetizing sandwich. It was even hot. Well, then. Sharing his wine last night was paying dividends already. 

[color=#FFDF00][b]"Much appreciated."[/b][/color] Doric smiled back, taking a bite. Hm. Quite good. Ordinarily, he'd be far more reserved about the entire situation, fearing losing face with their new professor on the first day. But at this point? Whoever it was had far bigger concerns that that. So he'd enjoy the sandwich, and rewrap it and tuck it away should they actually bother to show up. He shrugged back at Roland's comment, swallowing his bite before speaking. [color=#FFDF00][b]"He's really quite easy to get along with so far. Evidently, I was rather fortunate in that regard."[/b][/color] Again, free alcohol helped.

[color=#FFDF00][b]"Give the other to...Lapis, was it? Offer Parth anything free, and she'll just take advantage of your generosity in the future."[/b][/color] He chortled, giving Parthenia a teasing grin. It wasn't as if what he'd said was untrue, after all.
