Vincent entered the building, he'd left his bags in his car that was waiting outside for him. The sun was gleaming and he couldn't help but let out a gasp of air, it was so beautiful the scenery, the smell, everything! He could tell he was going to fit right in. As he reached the desk he looked at the person he found on the other side, he spoke clearly with a smile on his face. "Hello there, I'm Vincent Fiordalis. I'm supposed to start today?"
His gaze drifted around the room, looking at everything. He was still amazed by the sheer size of this place, his attention was brought back to the person that sat opposite him. He didn't want to stare but he was just so excited that he just wanted to get into his room and go and see his horse. But he waited patiently, keeping calm and composed.

Fitz looked up as he heard the door close and watched a man approach the desk and introduced himself. He gave a welcoming smile. "Welcome to Blue Ridge Academy, Vincent." He said as he typed in the name and brought up the information. "You will be residing in suite one-oh-eight of the Brown Ribbon Apartments, which are here." He took a map from a tray on his desk and pointed to the location of the apartment building, which was just across the parking area from the building they were in. "Your horse will have a stall ready for her in the Red Willow Barn. Gwen Robinson is the barn manager there, though anyone will be able to help you out."
He then fished the apartment keys from the drawer under his desk and placed them with the campus map. "Is there anything else I can help you with?"

Vincent made a sigh of relief when the man welcomed him, thinking he was going to be told he was at the wrong venue. He listened to the man, and once he had said his room number, he immediately spoke up. "They are single rooms aren't they? I'm not a fan of sharing." He then listened again and as soon as he memtioned the stable name Vincents eyes lit up. He spoke out once more like an excited child. "Are the horses well looked after here? I guess they would have to be." he rambled.
Once the man asked him if he had any questions he rubbed the side of his face. Then blurted out, "The way to the stables? I have no idea where i am going." He then reached down and picked up the keys with a smile on his face waiting for the man to answer, not sure if he'd already said.

Fitz smiled and nodded to the question. "Yes, all of the apartment suites are single rooms." He had a feeling that someone else might have made a joke about the man not liking to share, but that wasn't Fitz's style. "The horses have the best care here. And as the care is all do-it-yourself, then it's not hard to find out who isn't doing their share. We also have a veterinarian, both large and small animals, and a farrier on site, so if there is an emergency, they are right there."
Fitz pointed to the barn he had circled on the map. "Red Willow Barn, right here. If you head back toward the drive you came in on, turn left and you can't miss them."

He nodded listening to the man, he thought that it would be all DIY but hr eanted to make sure. Since his horse can be a little mareish if not paying attention. He smiled and replied "That is great thank you! It's good to know that, and the fact you are so prepared for all sorts of things amazes me!" he laughed and rubbed his head. Before he decided now was a good time to depart from the office.
He gave a wave and said joyfully "Pleasure to meet you! See you around in the future. Thank you for all the help you have given!" with that he walked slowly back to his car.
