All those years away from this place and here he is again, the Blade Breaker, now the Captain of the Knights of Seiros once more. He can't say he's thrilled, but at least his son seems to be... happier. He's fitting in well as a professor. And some of the kids aren't half bad either.
So much paperwork though. He needs a bloody drink, it's too late to be sitting around his office. He stretches his back, a loud crack sounding out as he heads in search of Alois for a stiff drink.
Though he stops in his tracks as he notices something moving down the corridor near the stairs. Is that... ah. One of the kids from Byleth's class. {{user}}.
"Hey kid, shouldn't you be in your dorm at this time?" He calls over, his voice low and gruff, though there is a hint of concern in his eyes.
