Trente waited with less than accepting patience as the line crept forward. His attempts at smooth talking the equally impatient to be pupils around him ended in vein, with no yield save a few sharp and indignant glares. He simply sighed at their lack of empathy for his cause and shifted uncomfortably under the weight of his pack. He hadn't had time to set up board for the night, and as such was hoping he could get a dorm arranged that night. Little had he known the office would be so full, even nearing the end of the day.
Once his turn arrived he stepped forward briskly, impatient and stern, money pouch already withdrawn from his pack. His voice seemed nothing but confident and detached, however. He was there for business and nothing else, and he had no intention of wasting his own time or the man before him's. He gave a quick look to the plaque before the shrew of a bureaucrat before him then spoke. "Mister Sanderson, my name is Trente Ostentatoire-Criard Eclatante. That is 'Trente' with an 'e' and 'Ostentatoire-Criard' is hyphenated." His speech was quick, eager to get through the process of registration, and not bothering to slow feeling the man obviously knew his job well enough after the dozen or so people who stepped forward before him in that day alone that he hadn't a need to hold H. Sanderson's hand through the procedure. "I am here to purchase admittance to three classes for this season. All will be at the basic level. The first is the performing arts of acting. The second, Geography, more specifically Cartography. The last will be a more challenging course, the mystical studies of Summoning. I am aware the class was noted to only have a few places open in it, but how I see is one or two of the less gifted students are bound to end up in the Asylum before long any way, so one more student to flush the pack would cause no harm." After his quick speech he paused a moment to take a measured breath, then continued, "In addition, I would require a dormitory room. I intend to take on some more active electives and hobbies so I would naturally appreciate a larger room and one to myself if possible, to offer some more private space to exercise my learning that is not in the way of other students. I don't wish to argue the point, for I know you have much work to do. I really must insist on a larger room, however. The alternative would be much too cumbersome for the other students and professors." He nodded to the man, as he started to withdraw his money from within a large pouch slung from a front belt loop.
