Macadrian pulled the heavy oak door shut behind her as she entered the School with Fex in tow behind her, a line of sweat beading up on her brow despite the cool winds from which she'd just stepped out. Glancing around, Macadrian contemplated between popping in the staff room to see if anyone was around, heading straight to her office to begin planning her lessons, or visiting with the Hufflepuffs in their common room to introduce herself. And what to do with Fex?

I really should say hello to my colleagues, but at the same time I'm here to educate those students. But I also have responsibilities to ensure that the Hufflepuff students are getting well adjusted to the School and answer their questions. I don't want them to think I bailed on them because I haven't been present for a few days... but at the same time, I really should set up my office and begin figuring out what I'll assign for homework. But I haven't seen my colleagues in so long, some of the males for over a year, and it would be nice to visit with some fresh faces. And what am I going to do with this goat? I suppose I could just drop him by Fabian's office quickly. Hmmm.

A woman who was known for the ability to make a quick decision with confidence, Macadrian was flustered by her sudden inability to make a simple decision. Unable to choose, Macadrian's brow furrowed in frustration as the tears welled up in her eyes. Had she changed that much? Where was that woman she was last year? Before Belle's School? Before the summer?
