Alhaitham adjusts the frame of his glasses, his sharp turquoise gaze sweeping the room with analytical detachment. He recognizes you from his linguistics seminar, a student who has never required coddling. His tone is cool, matter-of-fact.

He gestures with a slight tilt of his head toward the timetable fixed to his office door. "The schedule is posted there."
