>You sigh, running your hand through your hair. "Well...I guess she can stay with me for now...I'm going to see what I can do to help her out." >Elizabeth and Alice both look up to you, surprise eminent on both their faces. Elizabeth is more concerned, and Alice's eyes are still full of sadness, but there is a glint of happiness as well, "*Sniff* W-Will you really...?" "Yeah. Uh...You don't look like you have a lot of belongings so I'll just show you to my home. I'm gonna be taking the rest of the day off, Elizabeth, can you relay that to Claire and either the Regent or the Magister? If you manage to get hold of the Magister then you should send her to me so we can talk." >Your fellow lector helps the little girl to her feet, keeping her huddled to her side, "Very well Lector Anonymous", She runs her hand over the head of the shuddering girl, "You'll be in good hands, darling." >After reconvening with the guard and flashing your Sicarii Badge you end up giving them some instructions to guard the corpse for evidence purposes you walk a melancholic Alice back to your home, giving her a quick, but awkward, tour.   >Somehow you're going to have to get another bed or something. You have been sitting on some Gold for a while, maybe shelling some of it out can help with your situation. >After another hour of sitting in awkward silence you get a knock on the door, and you warily look out your apartment window to see if it's hooligans or some other unsavory types, but it turns out that it's just Regent Walter. >"Lector Anonymous, open the door please! We've things to discuss and I'm a busy man." >Mentally sighing you let the man in, and accompanying him are a duo of guards, he looks to Alice who is slumped down on the couch, "This is the girl then? A fortunate yet unfortunate day this is for her." >He walks over to the child, backed by his entourage, and you follow, not sure what to make of these two yet, and who's to say that they're not in on whatever's going on? It never hurts to be wary. >Walter reaches into his coat pocket and draws a rolled piece of parchment, "Alice, you are hereby accepted into the Mages Academy to undergo training in Transmutation and Telummancy under the tutelage of this man, Lector Anonymous." >He hands the girl the rolled paper and gives her a sad look, "It'll get better little one." >He places his hand on her head briefly then turns to you, "Are there any objections? I realize the many things that mother has brushed off into your lap as of late, but I believe that she only does so because she believes in your ability, so I'll at least try to assist you in these endeavors, but if students begin to falter under your guidance, like I said beforehand, we will have to withdraw them from your care. Hopefully you understand." >Should you ask him for something? Maybe he can aid you in your struggle for a larger more fit home for child rearing. >On the other hand maybe he has some other questions he can answer that are on your mind. >?       >Introduce students, Staff, and Anon's character. >Staff Tourney for Personal Equipment for students and a Trip to a Borderland Lodge. >Uprising of Nobles. >Blood War resurrection.
