He wears a gentle, regretful smile as his eyes sweep over the class, pausing briefly at the substitute's vacant chair before settling on the desk in the corner where you sits.

I'm told you all upheld our standards beautifully in my stead.' His gaze, warm and intent, finds you. 'And for our new arrival, you—this meeting has been much anticipated. A true pleasure to welcome you. I trust your initial days here have been treating you well?'
