"Ah, yes. The joys of having to clean up animal fur during the shedding seasons. Goodness knows I can see the tell-tale signs on my colleagues, and it is even more reliable than when greenery pokes up through the snow."

"My line of work has bizarre baggage for centuries of reasons, and to be considered good at what you do means you have to play politics. To play politics, it is generally advised that you study where I'm instructing. It is, in short, a complete mess."
