Valérian looked around, fixing his gloves. He might not look the part of a professor, but he certainly could handle the job. Centuries of being 17 does tend to mature one, he thought to himself. He stood waiting for Veronique to acknowlege his presence outside her door, tapping his foot a little. This was hard enough to ask, but to ask someone who looked so much older... He shook his head. Chances were he was older... so what was the problem? The fact that he had once been mortal? He snorted and deliberately calmed his mind. He was offering to fill a void, not trying to stir up trouble.

Veronique raised her eyes to the door, sighing and rubbing her temples. So much had happened recently, and she was not in the mood for any sort of nonsense. She buzzed the door open.
"Yes?" she called impatiently. "Get inside and tell me what it is you want."

He came in quickly, looking at her. "I know you're busy, so I'll keep this short," he said, slipping into his more French accent. Stress, curse it. There was no reason to be so uptight.
"With all this trouble that's been going on, you need at the very least a history sub and you have other voids to fill as well. I've been around here with nothing to do... so I offer to take that position if needed."

Veronique quirked an eyebrow, her expression incredulous. "And your qualifications for this...?" she drawled, tapping her pencil against the desk.
Then she paused. Really, she couldn't do much worse than the previous professor...
"Are you a sexual predator? Have you ever tortured a person by making them believe they were burning alive?"

"My qualifications would be living through it, centuries of study because I had nothing else to do and teaching fledgling vampires for nearly two hundred years? Is that enough?" he asked. Didn't she know that? He seemed to recall having told her... maybe it was someone like her. Bah, too many memories to sort through made it difficult for him to remember clearly sometimes. He moved on to her other questions.
"No, though I've taken out a few, and no, fire freaks me out as much as the next person so why would I try to frighten someone else with it?"
Oh that's right. Conall did that. Well, being an improvement on HIM will be as easy as breathing. Valérian thought to himself. His height shouldn't be a problem... even if he was almost looking her in the eye while he stood and she sat in her plush office chair. Without the stuffing he'd probably be a bit taller than her seated.

Veronique pursed her lips, glancing over the young man for a moment. He seemed safe enough, and he certainly couldn't be any worse than Conall.
"I'm starting you at 75% normal salary," she announced blandly. "Your health benefits should be included in the employee pamphlet. If anyone in the school approaches you saying anything about a union, just know that the union does not exert any power over Dunehelden, so you likely shouldn't waste your time."
Veronique waved dismissively at him, pulling a clipboard toward her and beginning to work on something. "If you have no other questions, you will be taking Conall's old classroom. Just ask one of the students for directions."

Valérian smiled a little. Like salary meant anything to him. And health benefits? He hadn't been ill, or badly injured, for over two hundred years. He knew where the classrooms are. Easily.
"I will leave you to your work then, Headmistress," he said with a slight bow, leaving quickly and very quietly.
