They had just put the finishing touches on the classrooms, but the dormitories still needed a thorough cleaning before she could welcome students without any qualms. It taken about as long as she'd expected for construction to complete - which she was quite chuffed about. She hadn't ever considered herself an architect, but perhaps there was an untapped skill there. She was belly deep in dust and dirt and grime when she heard the call from deep inside the belly of the school. The sound cascaded in through the front entrance, winding through the halls until it found her. Theo blinked, her eyes bleary with dust. "Well..." she grumbled. It would be... not a great first impression, but she couldn't help it. While image was not something she prided herself on, courtesy and politeness were. And it was not polite to show up looking like a mole rat who'd just clambered out of their hole, but she'd have to make up for it with her stunning personality. Or something.
Theory shook off the dust as best as she could and strode out of the school, making her way towards the border. She kept her pace at a bright clip, hoping the breeze might take care of the looser bits of filth, even taking the long way around through the denser vegetation so the bushes and twigs might help brush out the dirt. By the time she arrived, she looked disheveled and filthy - but slightly less disheveled and filthy than she had been when she'd first heard the call. Breathlessly, she greeted the newcomer: "Hello, I'm the Headmistress. How can I help you?"
