Slipping Through The Cracks

Carin had been running non-stop to reach the academy and save her pupil, and upon reaching the administrative building, she burst through its doors and headed straight for Vivienne's office. A stern-looking wolf-kin man was waiting in the lobby and had shot her a nasty glare, but she ignored it and questioned the assistant at the desk.

"It's the traitor..." The man said, spitting on the ground next to her. Carin simply ignored his attempts at provocation. She had no time to humor small fry like him right now.

"Is she in right now? As you can see, the matter is urgent." Carin said, motioning towards the lifeless-looking boy in her arms.

"Yes, but she's meeting with some important foreign officials right now. I'll have the healers teleport here imme-"

"No need." Carin briskly cut the assistant off and continued to the office, but before she could get through, she was blocked by the wolf man standing guard outside.
