"HI, professor." If anyone was late, it wasn't Alice. She arrived right on time for her favorite class, choosing the closest seat she could find to Botros' desk and supplying the elderly man with the biggest beam she could muster up this early. "Nice day, isn't it? Clean, too, at least in here. Will we be jumping through more hoops or smashing with more hammers this term? Where are all the Gandr baskets? Are they not here? Is this why we have to be making our own outside of class and stuff?" While she filled out her name tag, she chattered on relentlessly to the professor, tapping it with her wand when she finished.

And then she resumed smiling all contentedly up at Botros' desk. Hiii, professor.
