Ryth enters and heads for his desk in the corner of the room. He looks around and sees that he is the only teacher present before he walks over and opens the window. He takes a hard look around and makes some very quick, rapid gesture. Then he takes a seat in the window and lights up a cigarette.
"Won't be long now."Not long after a small bird comes flying up to the window. Ryth holds out his hand and the bird hops into it.
"Hmmm, so you are todays messenger. Very well. Let's have it." He removes the message from birds leg and goes to his desk and with another gesture and hard look says,
"Area is secure." He lays out the piece of paper on the desk and pricks his thumb with one of his knifes pressing the blood to the symbols upon it.
They flash briefly with some kind of energy and then coalese into a small whiteish-blue figure that starts to talk quietly as Ryth listens intently. He nods his head, his lips moving ever so slightly as if comiting information to memory. The figure vanishes and Ryth picks up the paper and moves back to the window where he sets fire to it then sits there and finishes his smoke.
He looks at the bird and says,
"Message recieved, no reply. Awaiting further orders." He pulls out a small piece of bread and feeds the bird. The bird eats it and then flies out the window which Ryth then shuts. His face is grim.
"Time to get back to work, I supose."Ryth leaves for the homeroom.
