“True, and there is no telling what might be lingering from whatever happened here, so that’s a sensible precaution to take…” The fact that this entire building had been on another plane of existence had him puzzling, really. If it had simply been frozen in time or if there was more to it than that. He didn’t like not having answers, but that wasn’t the priority today. “Besides that, I’ve always preferred to have control of one’s space when teaching subjects like this.”
As good as it was to hear that people would be coming in to clean up the rest of the academy, there was something to be said for controlling the space you were going to be in charge of. Even if he didn’t like cleaning, he liked to know that things weren’t going to get mucked about with. Materials getting moved around the wrong way that might cause accidents in light of ‘tidying up’ or a bounded field getting disturbed by someone new getting a little too exuberant with the job.
No, he’d rather take care of his space himself, much like Arthur had. “And a tidier space is always more conducive for learning. Though I’ve known a few students in my time who get a bit distracted, regardless.” He added with a wry tone, sounding like he had his fair share of experience. He liked a challenge though, as much as he might complain about it. He always got too attached to them, and they did the same in return, despite his awkwardness and prickly nature. He doubted he’d ever have anyone to hand the Velvet family crest down to (if he ever got it back), and so his students were as good as his family, in a way... Though he'd deny it.
But he finally gave in and set his bag on the floor to rub at the shoulder it had been resting on.
