Alistar sat, cigarette in one hand and glass of amber alcohol in the other. He sat in the classroom, smoking and drinking. He placed the empty glass down on the table and continued smoking. It felt like he had been sitting at this table for almost two whole days. The crushed out pile of cigarettes that had fallen prey to his chain smoking habit was growing as he waited for the class to begin. Alistair winced at the feeling of the Headmasters intrusive psychic link blasting through his mental defences. He ignited the cigarettes butts and brushed the ash away as he prepared for the students and other teachers to enter. The Prodigal teacher put his Converse enclosed up on the table and let the black mess of hair fall over his eyes. He could try sleeping before the class started.

ALAS! That was not meant to be. A voice cut through the gentle silence. It was female. He brushed the hair out of his eyes and looked over the owner of the voice. He raised an eyebrow at the short snipped conversation she had offered. He just sighed in response. The students began to file in one after the other. The only one he even cared to take note of was Iravis at the current time. Admittedly that was both the researcher in his head calling out and the slight inebriation. He rolled his head, his neck cracking gently. He stood up and moved towards side of the Director. Again, rubbing the hair out of his eyes, he looked towards the students. Suddenly a shout of pain and his friend and colleague Arthur was obviously in pain. Alistair was quick to move. He leapt up and watched as the man's spear and hat flew off him. His eyes widened and he moved as quick as he could to grab on to the man. He growled. Arthur was heating up. He set him on to the ground and looked at Rollanda “...Can you take care of it?” he said slowly, his voice as always was slow and measured. The English twinge on his voice indicating his homeland. He stood back up and grabbed the man's hat and Spear from the ground “I’ll take care of these till you come back Wick” Alistair softly said and placed them behind his desk. He took his place back beside the Director and waited for the man himself to begin.
