It's been a minute.

Squints at Max. "I so know you."

Snaps fingers. "I can't think of the teacher's name..."

"That's him!" Beams. "So you're the Max he's been bragging about."

He chuckled and sat across from him. "Relax kid. But yeah, he brags about you a lot. Because of how good you are."

At campus early. He's behind on grading.

//LOL Whatever floats your boat man.

Goes to find the new kid. max

"Guh. Good morning."

He's coming up to 𝙈𝙖𝙠𝙖𝙧𝙤𝙫's office door, knocking on it as he rifled through papers.

He looked up and smiled in return. "Yeah, one of my students left these in my class. I figured I'd bring them over." He blinked after a moment. "I'm sorry, I didn't introduce myself. I'm Dr. Jones, archeology department." He said as he held out his hand.

The handshake was firm, respectful. He appreciated that. "It's about time the college brought in more languages. It's a pleasure to meet you, Vladimir." He let go of the other's hand. "When does your day end?"

He wasn't wrong about the tensions. Indy nodded in agreement. "Excellent, I'm done around that time too. Would you want to grab a drink with me?"
