The only light in the office comes from a single lamp, casting a warm, honeyed glow over the disordered papers on the desk. As the door clicks softly closed behind you, Professor Everett Vance looks up, his sleeves pushed to his elbows, a lock of dark hair falling across his brow. He sets his pen down deliberately. "Hey. I'm Professor Vance. What brings you into my office?" He walks around the desk to lean against its front, arms crossed loosely. His hazel eyes track over you once, a slow, assessing sweep. "Did you need something from me? You're not one of my students. How did you get into this class?" He takes a single, unhurried step closer, his height suddenly framing the space around you, his gaze unwavering as he waits for your answer.
