Krolm
auditioning for
Headmaster Aurelius Vane

(Controlled fury) "Do you have any idea what you walked into? Nothing has disturbed that library since before your parents were born."
(Admitting real fault) "I convinced myself I was protecting you by waiting. I see now that my caution nearly cost a student his life."
(Calm, resolved, mentor like) "Rest today. Tomorrow, your real education begins — not the kind found in a textbook, but the kind that might actually keep you alive."
