Farris runs up some stairs his knees rising and falling with every step. He gets to the stop and looks around. "Mathematics first," He sighed before getting his sense of direction together and running off down a hall. He almost ran into the door his hand flying and opening the door so he didn't hurt himself by breaking his nose on impact.
He stopped right there and looked into the room. His eyes looking over every detail of the room hopefully getting some useful information about what he would learn in this room. Alyce Graff was the professor...hmm hope she is as intrigueing as Lucca and this class may be sometihng I look forward to. He took the first step into the new classroom with a little pride almost strutting into the room.

(Sorry it took so long! I've been having some net problems! ) The petite woman was in her accustomed place before the classroom. She had been teaching for some time, even if it had not been with a doctorate behind her name. She was a hard woman to learn from. Her thoughts were so scattered and without the influence of an organizing assistant, it was hopeless. Those that got it though would glean the greatest amounts of information and passion from the woman. Dr. Alyce Graff loved math and even with her scattered thoughts scrawled across the blackboard that most could not hope to understand, the passion would show in her eyes. She hardly noticed the student enter, too lost within the throes of working a problem upon the board to notice him. She mumbled as she wrote, the African Grey mimicking her words as it clung to the chair she would not sit in during the duration of the class. Upon the board numbers began to take shape in things that she hoped were familiar to her class. She did not know just what sort of backgrounds her students had, what sort of math classes they had taken prior and so it was best to start from the beginning. The Pythagorean Theorem, the Quadratic Formula, the formulas for area and circumference for certain shapes. As she finished, she lay the chalk within it’s nook and brushed her hands upon her jeans. She was an altogether too casual woman, her clothes mildly and comfortably worn though still presentable. Only Felicity’s insistent hello to Farris paused the woman in her writing. Plain and dark hair was drawn up in an almost droopy ponytail, though the shine within her eyes made up for her drab dress. She smiled, the mostly clear braces catching a glint of light before she lifted fingers to cover them. “My first student of the semester!” Leaning against the desk, she smiled, letting her hand fall as her lips remained together to cover those clear braces that were still quite visible no matter what the dentist had said. She pulled the paper from her desk, a list of all the known students that had enrolled or been enrolled in her class. “Now...which are you?” She smiled pleasantly, quite excited. Felicity ruffled her feathers behind her.

Farris steps forward a strange gleam in his eye. "I am Farris Wolf professor." He was quite sur that was what he was supposed to adress her as.
He held up his handin greeting. "It is very nice to meet you Dr. Graff." He then said just to get another formal adress out of the way.
Then a though hit him. Should he ponder the reality of kissing up to the this woman following her and praising her for everything she does and hold her high above everybody else he had known. No...he couldn't do that. That would twist his integrity as a student.
He smiled though as he held his hand out as if he wasn't thinking at all...something he was very good at.

No matter if the student kissed up to her or not, it would not matter. He would only be wasting his time. Dr. Graff would smile and nod, barely thanking the student as he did whatever it was would make up his kissing up. Felicity shifted on her chair, fluffing up feathers at the man as he reached toward Alyce. She smiled, reaching out to grasp his hand, though as the hand neared, she noticed the chalk that powdered her hand. She smiled sheepishly, patting and cleaning her hands upon her jeans before finally taking his hand in a comradely gesture.
“I am very excited.” And it was very apparent as she let his hand go to look at her master piece upon the chalk board. She even lifted her fingers to push back glasses that were no longer there.

Farris nods in that almost absentminded way. though he noticed all her movements. His thoughts running like, "Hmm eyesight better." And "Very polite though."
When she spoke again he laughed. "I am excited to. You didn't have to wipe your hands though. I am propably about to have a lot of chalk also from all this work you are going to give us." He said candily his lips forming a grin afterwords.
"So what exactley are you going to teach us here...or may I say refine our methods of doing it," he said with now a concentration. He was a student and he was going to pass. There was no doubt about it. He wanted more though. He wanted to be ahead of the class and learn more about it than anybody else. He wanted to learn so that he could one day raise his position. Or maybe for other reasons yet unknown to propably even hisself.

Alyce moved toward the board, erasing a small line with an absent finger only to draw one that greatly resembled the previous. Felicity kept her eyes upon the intruding student, even as she began to preen a lovely grey wing. It took Dr. Graff a long moment looking over the board, nodding with satisfaction here, changing something there. She was apt to start another equation long before the first was done. She didn't find many mistakes however, as she had had no distractions up until Farris had made his entrance.
She put her hands upon her hips, tilting her head until Felicity made her 'hello's again. She continued right on as if she had not stopped to fiddle with the board in the first place. "Well, first I want to see just where you students are in your mathematics study. It really depends on the range as to where I start." She slipped up onto the edge of the desk behind her. "When did you last study mathematics?" Finally, she turned to view him, her smile fading as she watched and listened.

He looked at her for a moment thinking upon this question. It had been forever since he had last studied the mathematical aspects of life. When he had though he was far. He looked at her. "It was before I even ventured to Ulster Dr. Graff. I have no idea where I stand. Maybe you could help me out to get back to where I need to be?" He said smiling.
Maybe he would suprise her with what he knew. His thoughts rolled over into the dark side not allowing the light to even glimmer at that view. No...she would just nod and expect it coming from one of my stature. He just squinted his eyes and thought.
"No Dr. Graff...I can't think of anything...yet if you asked me a question it is likely I would know it." He said with a happy smile and glinting hazel eyes.
