Drake stepped up into the booth and saw there was a woman; who looked like she was in her thirty’s, seated there.
She stared at Drake as he came up and immediately recognized that this was his first time in the Arena.

Ruth shook her head and replied, "No, not always, just to the new ones."
"You can tell that it’s my first time at the arena? What gave it away?" Drake raised an eyebrow and asked.

Ruth nodded, "Registrations for the Grand Mage Tournament? You’re in the right place. The preliminaries start today. Who are you registering for?"
