Within the College of Elbion's main building, Adius sat in the lobby on a bench, reading a book as his leather satchel sat on the floor in front of him. He glanced at the door, looking to see if anyone resembling a Nordenfiir man had entered. Seeing nobody he resumed his reading. The Queen of Nordengaard had requested to the college that a citizen of her realm be instructed on several subjects, and the College decided that Adius would be a good fit for such a need. So that was why he sat on a bench, reading a book, and awaiting the arrival of a man named Solveig Odasson. As he read, another scholar, a professor at the College, approached. He had been in Adius year as a student, and Adius hated him.
"Well, Adius, you excited to teach a bear-man how to read?" He laughed haughtily. He thought anyone who was equal or below him in College status was not worth anything, and Adius clenched his jaw, eyes not lifting from his book.
"I taught you how to read 45 years ago, Edgar. You're the only bear man I know." Adius replies smoothly.
Edgar frowned. "Don't take your anger about this assignment out on me."
Adius sighed, shutting the book and placing it beside him. He stared Edgar in the face. "I am looking forward to this. Unlike you, I enjoy doing more than talking about the same spells every day to a group of students that avidly dislike me." He takes a deep breath. "You have not published a new piece of work in the last 15 years, your last book is not even duplicated in our library, and the only time it is touched is to move it to reach the book behind it. If you wouldn't mind, I'd like to be allowed to resume my peaceful waiting."
Edgar stuttered trying to think of a reply before storming off, leaving Adius alone. He looked at the door again to see if the man had arrived.
