"I see. Well, I guess I'd like to know just one more thing, then. Why didn't you come back for Smith later? I mean, he's here now, so it's safe for him to be here, I guess. Why not try to get him back years ago?" Kara inquired.

"Here for training? Good to see initiative. Before we can really begin, I need to see what I've got to work with. But even before we do that, I think Aerta may want to take a look at you. Really. It's kind of a motherly thing. Now, you've caught me at a bit of an odd time, but I can fit something into my schedule. Speak to my wife over there and we'll get you set up... Ee-sill, was it? Anyway, meet me in the back when Aerta is done with you. I'm sure you must have plenty of questions, and I'll be happy to answer them all when you're ready." Adykon gestured towards Aerta, who came down from her hovering stance and walked towards the newcomer. Adykon took a few steps back to let her get a good look at Yssil.

"Well, you certainly are a likely looking one. I can sense the magic in you, and you've clearly been on a long trip just to get here" She extended her hand. "I'm Aerta, sorceress, mother, wife, and adventuress. Pleased to meet you. You're welcome to stay here as long as Adykon allows it. Before you begin, you look like you could use some food and a bath. And a fresh change of clothes. Don't worry, we have plenty of things in your size around here. You're about as big as a couple of my sons were when they were young adults."

"I can arrange that, yes" Ternoc replied, nonchalantly. Once more, he took out a piece of paper and repeated the process of filling out a writ, complete with orders, his signature, a stamp, and a seal affixed to an envelope containing the document. "Take this over to my court mages. Mazdak can show you the way. Please send Rughoi- [i]King[/i] Rughoi - my regards. Mazdak, have you anything to add?"

"Nothing at all, my lord."

"Then you two are dismissed. I shall send messengers to each of you should the need for further discourse arise. Have a good day."
