Damon found himself standing in front of two familiar faces. The first was a green-haired woman, the second was none other than Kael.
Of course, the woman was Professor Emeralda.
He narrowed his eyes, his expression clearly unimpressed.
"Ermh... hello professors... what's this about..."
Emeralda smiled gently, her face beaming with warmth.
"Ahhh, Damon, how have you been... it's been too long..."
Damon rolled his eyes, his tone flat.
"I saw you in the academy just the other day. What's this about? You guys are acting weird."
Emeralda nudged Kael sharply. He sighed, clearly dragged here against his will.
"We prepared the speech you're going to give. Please, and please, do not speak your mind. Just read off what we give you."
Damon raised an eyebrow, staring at them with suspicion, while Emeralda quickly pulled Kael to the side.
"You're supposed to say something nice first, ease him into it..." she whispered harshly.
Kael closed his eyes and exhaled, his voice resigned.
