The door that was surely meant to be missed easily didn't go unnoticed by the Ancient Runes professor. After all these years, he had become accustomed to picking up on minute details or noticing things that were out of place. So the man opened the door, paying no mind to the creaking, and stepped through the threshold.
Needless to say, he wasn't all that impressed by the chamber he was now in. There wasn't anything too intriguing about a dusty table, so his attention quickly diverted to the two doors that were present in the room. Which door should he venture through next, hmm? Left or right?
Indigo was always looking for empty, quiet corners of the castle. He liked to be alone, and he especially hated crowds. So he liked finding places where he could go to get away from the rest of the student population and be alone. In his two years at this school he had also discovered that what was there one year might not always be there the next. Likewise, sometimes there were new locations that he could have sworn weren't there the year before, or even the week before.
The lower levels of the castle usually had a lot of empty spaces like he was looking for. That was only slightly unfortunate, considering he lived at the very top. But as long as it was quiet, he wasn't complaining. Indigo was wandering through some slightly spooky chambers when he noticed that he wasn't alone after all. There was somebody just a few paces ahead of him now, though not a student. Must be one of the new professors, considering Indigo didn't recall seeing him before. Though, to be honest, Indigo hadn't been paying that much attention at the feast so he had no idea what subject he taught.
Indigo just sort of stopped in his tracks. He didn't say anything because a, he wasn't sure what to say, and b, he was suddenly anxious. Was he not supposed to be here? Was he going to get in trouble?
