He'd given up for the day, and had crossed the room to file the half-finished letter away in his bookcase, when the knock came.

Flicking his wand at the door, he opened it up to reveal his visitor. "Hello, Miss Fox, thank you for stopping by." Kamran had wondered if she would, but had no basis for an assumption either way, and simply decided to wait and see. "Come in and take a seat. You can leave the door open, if you'd prefer." He tucked the parchment away, straightened a picture frame, and returned to his own chair.
"Hello." Ash always showed up. She might come into any given scenario with wands drawn and a big army, but she was coming somehow. Well, the only thing she was planning on skipping was those dumb therapy sessions and Lucien Rosier's funeral. But not this. This was just some random professor, here to try to look through to her soul and thoughts. Or something like that.

"Nahhh, door closed is fine." Ash didn't need anyone else seeing this. She didn't know what the flying professor would say (undoubtedly unrelated to flying), and whatever it was was not the business of her "friends", her friends, or her enemies. She shut the door.

Ash took her seat. She observantly took in all the details of the room. "I like your cat." No feeling in that sentence. It was just a statement. Cat=good. Meeting=bad. "So." Simultaneously a question and a comment. So. So what. So why am I here? So what do you want? It was an invitation for him to proceed with whatever annoying lecture (that would fall on mostly deaf ears) or dumb questions (that would be heard loudly and quite possibly overreacted to) he wanted to start with. He wanted to know something, did he not? Or he wanted to say something. One of those. Then he should get started before he lost his nerve to ask. Ash's eyes were quite creepy sometimes, did he know? If you looked at them too long, they started to look like voids of darkness with no real sentient being behind them. Maybe he ought to hurry up.
