"I see. When do I begin?"
"Tomorrow morning, first thing after breakfast." Caedmon stood, chair legs screeching against the wooden floor as he found his feet. "You will go to the training grounds at the collegia and ask for Tramon Lawson. He should be expecting you. Now, if you’re free of any questions, I need to track down Alder and pay him a friendly reminder." Judging by his expression, the interaction wouldn’t be so friendly.
Alistar stood as well. "May I thank you now?"
After a light chuckle, Caedmon nodded.
"Thank you, Uncle!" Alistar hugged him tightly, smiling as he received an affectionate pat on the head.
Walking to the door, Caedmon asked, "So, any plans for today?"
"After breakfast, I’m going to head straight for the Hanging Hill to attend Mr. Herst’s lessons." Awkward as the gatherings were, the content covered was too interesting to pass up on.
"Is that so?" Caedmon locked the doors to his study behind them. "Well then, be careful on your way. Be wary of strangers and make sure to return by evening. Oh, and it wouldn’t hurt to keep your locket out of sight."
