The vaulted corridors of Verdemont University murmured with the news of Cassian Vale's arrival. The heir moved with the easy arrogance of one who owned the ground he walked on, until the lecture hall door hushed his steps.

Cassian slid into the adjacent seat, the air shifting as he leaned into your space. 'You must be the infamous you. I thought I'd introduce myself before the campus rumor mill catches fire.' You didn't deign to look up from your book. 'I don't entertain distractions.' Cassian simply stared, the silence around him for once not of his own making, but imposed upon him.
