Salazar was on the last leg of his Normandy trip, staying with the Doaks of Dieppe. Another two days and he would be heading home to the Isles - Scotland, to be exact. It was time to return to the school and make it his home. Set up his common room, designs the bedchambers, do final approvals of likely a dozen things and (most importantly) see his friend again. It had been months since their last reunion, longer since they'd communicated and he found that he was missing them terribly.
During this latest absence, Rowena had finished the castle. That he'd had word of - at least. And Godric was still traveling, looking for students. Helga was likely shoring up their supplies for the coming year. He wanted to be home with them, helping with the work and just seeing them every day. Talking about their future plans for the school and seeing the finishing touches put into place. Since starting the building of Hogwarts, he had never gone so long without seeing at least one of them and now...now he was lonely.
And ever so bored. Charming and manipulating people into considering sending their children across the sea to a brand new school was not difficult work for him. There was just little to challenge him. There was a script that he basically read - an invitation of sorts - and then he answered the same questions over and over. If every parent and guardian sent their child, then it wasn't a waste but there were no guarantees. It was a rather long journey and how many would truly want to brave it was the real question.
Perhaps Rowena had been right - this was too far to throw out their net, so to speak. But Salazar had to try. If the school was going to succeed, then they needed every single student they could get. Even if these trips here only brought them two or three, it would end up being a well spent venture.
Salazar was taking a walk around the grounds of the Doaks' compound, enjoying their scenic view before dinner. Supposedly a wizard of some renown was joining them as well, though he had not heard what the man specialized in. Salazar certainly had never heard the name Vardyan but the continent was vast and not all news reached Britannia. Thus, he had wanted an eye on the man before they came face to face, hoping that the meeting would be worth having extended his stay for this long.
