As the fox left, the mage offered a silent prayer that nothing too bad would happen.  With a sigh, she returned back to her studies with a smile.  It was good to be back and reading once again, wasn't it?

As Kouze knocked on the door to the two story building Aetheria forced herself to walk downstairs.  The building itself was larger than the average teacher's apartment due to the necessity of being able to store the sick children and familiars the campus caused.  Downstairs there was a rather large resting dorm with beds separated by curtains, a few private rooms for the more well off or longer term patients, two rooms for treatment and an office to receive patients.  Upstairs was her own personal suite and the lab that went along with it.  There was also a basement that contained ways to confine more troublesome patients.  

Various rooms were crowded into the excess space in case she received servants or a familiar in the future and while Livia had been bugging her to at least get an assistant, but no one qualified had really come up yet.

Aetheria opened the door to a woman dressed in strange clothing in front of her.  After hearing their question though it was rather apparent that they were newer to campus.  [color=lightyellow]"Yes, I am indeed Aetheria.  What aid do you require?  If we need privacy for this conversation however, it is probably best for us to head to one of the examination rooms."[/color]  If Kouze assented, the white mage would guide them to a small room with a chair and a padded table along with several cabinets full of supplies.  [color=lightyellow]"So tell me - what troubles you?"[/color]  It was rather apparent that the woman was looking over her patient as if trying to figure it out for herself, but the patient would hopefully save her a little guesswork.

Maoin was a little surprised by how happy the ocean girl seemed, but she was largely focused on Lady Gwynn.  It was expected that her former mistress would want a to watch over the child although a little privacy would have been nice.  [color=darkslateblue]"I'll lead us to a tavern then."[/color]  The cat would find herself offering to hold her lady's hand but would walk towards their objective either way.  Why would she cook when she had the night off?

They ended up arriving at the Four Dragons - the tavern that they had met at just before things fell apart between them - and Maoin directed them to a relatively quiet table in a corner of the room.  Tazia seemed a little surprised to see them there together but didn't question anything as she quickly took their orders and left.

[color=darkslateblue]"... so ... how have things been for you?"[/color]  The cat gave Lady Gwynn a weak smile, although there was a little pain in her eyes.  [color=darkslateblue]"... seems like it was quite the training session, wasn't it?  Those don't usually last a couple of weeks."[/color]

Fia smiled as the two headed out together, the crimson haired girl grabbing the hand of the mage as they headed into a large purple tent with a conical point at the top.  As they came in, the pair of them would notice that there were various bones and orbs and other implements of fortune telling lying around the tent.  Fia squeezed Livia's hand nervously as an older woman looked towards them with somewhat wild eyes.

[b]"You there!  Welcome, to Megulda's Mysticism.  I can see you fortune and future for both of you!"[/b]  The woman waved a single hand in front of herself slowly as if trying to read the air.  [b]"For three measly florins, I can read how the fates themselves have devised your strings!  My lady, please sit down and let me read your fate!"[/b]

She was gesturing to Livia, likely because the shorter Fia had been a little harder to notice and the younger girl was good at not being seen despite her exotic hair.
