Strixhaven Week 3
Pierce Luigi for Dean Valentin
Valentin is one of the deans of Witherbloom college, where they study the cycle of life and death. Magical biology basically. He is a vampire and also a huge grump, focused entirely on his work, to the point he denies being friends with the other dean he's talking to. Despite all this, he still cares deeply about the students and will not throw someone out for a mistake.
"How much time am I expected to give?"
"Do you give all your charges such awful advice? Young Dina shows drive, unlike some of the more unfortunate members of our studentry."
"You do know that this is an institution of learning, eh? I trust that you have learned something this night—that you are the student, and we are the instructors. We painstakingly assemble lessons, and you follow them to the letter. Venturing outside of that dynamic is . . . fraught. Such a lesson will be valuable in your future coursework."
