	[b]"So, I'll assume that were all second years here? That being the case, that'll mean the sacramentum do you two have any plans in place, for your future partners, I mean? As far as I'm concerned, I'd be satisfied with a Familiar that's willing to work with me."[/b]

	“No plans really,” said Clyde as he rubbed the back of his neck. He was slowly getting used to the presence of Lilac despite her not talking to him. But he appreciated the fact she had not run him off like so many others. On the topic of the sacramentum, Clyde was not quite sure what he expected or what he wanted to expect. His parents were a mage and familiar pair, both of whom met one another at this very same academy. Clyde always dreamed about a story book romance such as theirs, but his timid and fearful nature would make that impossible. It was a lovely wish that would remain in his dreams until he could find confidence in himself. At least, for now, he prayed his mage would be a nice person.

	“Long as we get along, I'm fine with whomever I'm bonded to. It's excitin' to think about. A bond that's never been felt before until now. I'm curious to see what it's like.”

	[b]"As for my wishes towards my familiar, I only wish him to be a well-mannered person that would not annoy me. Like you, I wouldn't care what ability he might have. I would mostly use him to learn my spells after all.”[/b]

	There was nothing Clyde could say about that. Though, he felt a bit degraded for a moment, he let the feeling slip away. After all, that is exactly how Clyde felt about himself. Mages and familiars are considered equals in normal society, but the boy always felt rather subservient to others. If his own partner decided Clyde's only worth was to be a tool to further their own powers, as long as Clyde got his gym time in he would not mind.

	[b]“That’s really not ok to say.”[/b]

	The newcomer stood 5'6, noticeably shorter than both Clyde and Leo, but taller than Lilac's 5'0 frame. His hair was slicked back and glasses rest upon his nose. He did not look to have a mean bone in his body, but it was clear he took offense to what Lilac had said. There was potential for disaster on epic proportions. Clyde's eyes shifted from left to right quickly trying to think of a way to defuse the situation.

	[b]“The bond between a mage and their familiar is something to be respected. They’re not there to simply be used by you.”[/b]

	“I'm sure Lilac didn't mean any disrespect to the bond,” said Clyde with a nervous chuckle. “It's just that, ya' know, familiars are needed by mages to learn spells. Call it a different choice of wordin'...”
