@moonwoken​ said: Too early for him to expect any help. No one likes to be at school at 5 AM except for the new music teacher. Day one, already teetering and swaying, trying to hold doors open for himself with a few large boxes in his arms. He squints, catching what appears to be dress pants as a figure slips behind a door. He tries to run toward help, but gets stuck on the door, calling out instead, "Sorry, i'm lost, could... could you help me? I'm a new teacher." (Francis.)

               No one likes to be at school at 5am  —  which is exactly why Cas prefers to come in early. It’s a little bit of peace and quiet in a normally chaotic environment, and he finds grading papers easier in a classroom than at home. He’s armed with a large cup of black coffee and a stack of paperwork, and has to set both down on the hallway as he registers he’s not, in fact, alone, and also in need of his hands.

               He rushes down the hallway to the new teacher’s aid, instinctively grabbing the boxes he’s carrying, so that the latter can get his bearings with the door.    ❝ Music, right? ❞    So Cas is not the only early bird anymore.    ❝ Cas Krushnic, math. I’d shake hands, but... ❞    He lifts the boxes now filling his arms.    ❝ I’ll show you to your classroom? ❞    They’ve put music right next to his math class, and it’s... logistically not ideal. Budget cuts, they’d said. But at least it means Cas knows the way better than most.
