JUSTIFICATION: Francois is a highly responsible, organized man in the canon from which he is taken. Despite his young age, he was director of Charenton Asylum for the Insane for two years by the start of Quills, already an elected Abbe of his order, and able to hold his own against the likes of the Marquis de Sade. The AU version of Francois is no less responsible, willing and able to take on any duties required of him. He has genuine compassion and empathy for those who are his charges and takes their well being seriously.
He is not afraid to wield authority or be very firm when necessary. Because of a firm foundation in the teachings of the Catholic Church and a genuine belief in the tenets and precepts, he is both moral and ethical. He can be trusted with student confidentiality and not to engage in inappropriate ways with those entrusted to him.

Attention Sixième through Troisième Latin students! The Junior Latin Club meeting will be held at 16:00 on Wednesday. This will be an important meeting, because we’ll be holding elections for club officers for the coming term. Election will be by nomination followed by secret ballot, and the following positions must be filled: President, Vice-President, Secretary, and Treasurer.
Due to the responsibilities of the Treasurer, only Quatrième and Troisième nominations will be accepted, no exceptions. Also up for discussion will be two field trips, one local, one to Paris toward the end of term. Several destinations will be up for a vote.

LOG/3RD PERSON SAMPLE
What I wouldn’t give for a cigarette, Francois thought dourly as he tied his trainers in preparation for his early morning run. It had been nearly a week now since he smoked the last one from his last pack. All the nasty tasting nicotine gum in the world wasn’t a proper substitute for the calm he felt when taking a drag. It was about the total experience, not just the drug.
Sighing, he straightened and pushed a hand back through his hair. That sort of thinking wasn’t helpful. It would just get him back to bad habits, and he had promised Fifi he’d do better about that, hadn’t he? He still recalled the waver in her voice when the phone had awakened him at 03:12. “Papa had a bad asthma attack. They’ve taken him to the hospital.”
He hadn’t wanted to care. He and his father hadn’t said one word to each other for six years, not by his choosing. If the old man wanted to throw his life and health away by smoking on top of asthma, let him. However, no matter how angry--hurt, if he was being honest--he was with his father, he couldn’t take it out on his twin. He had consoled her for the better part of two hours, and before she was done with him, she had managed to extract the promise that now saw him in such a foul mood. “Stop that horrible habit, Francois, please? I don’t want to see you like this when we’re both in our late forties. It’s bad enough you live so far away.”
Opening the door onto cool, gray morning air, he turned the collar up on his windbreaker. It was still chill enough that he wanted the extra protection on his neck. Only when he was good and warmed up would he shrug out of the jacket and tie it at his waist. After a few stretches and a brisk walk to the end of the lane, he started picking up the pace. There was also something calming about the thud of his feet on pavement and the rhythm of his breath. Running on pavement wasn’t the same thrill of pitting himself against rough terrain, and it was harder on his knees. Still, it was one of the few times in the day his mind was truly placid and at ease.
Everything was greening up, tulips and hyacinth sending up spikes in the window boxes he passed. By the time he reached full speed for a hard run, he left all thoughts of his father behind, and the craving for a cigarette eased. He didn’t know if it was wishful thinking that it seemed he breathed a little easier. He decided to take it at face value.
He ran well past the initial burn of legs and lungs but not so far that runner’s high kicked in. He didn’t have time for that sort of distance before having to make his way to the ferry and classes. He returned to his flat winded and satisfied with his progress, took a quick shower and dressed for work, then grabbed a coffee and pastry to go at the corner cafe. He liked the chance to collect himself before the teaching day started. The morning run ensured he’d arrive at class with a clear head and minimal tension, something his students might not have known enough about him to appreciate but that they benefited from nonetheless.
