 As soon as Varis began to speak, Salem took to taking notes. He may not like his teacher, but that was no reason to fail to get an education. His notes were detailed, long, and full of quotes from Varis' own mouth. Salem found that paraphrasing was often more trouble than is worth, especially when working and learning about chemicals and remedies. Because of this, he was more than accustomed to writing notes at the speak of the speaker, Keeping up with Varis about 4 words behind and taking any time during quick pauses or screen changes, to quickly sketch out what was being shown or anything that had caught his interest beforehand. These doodled annotations helped him look through his notes faster, finding the appropriate sketch to the appropriate topic. 

 Several subjects that were touched by Varis caught Salems attention. Morgan Le Fey, one of the strongest Mages out there, was a subject that Salem always found to be thrilling. How any one mage could amass such power, such force, behind their conjurations, that even the vampires feared her walking away from negotiations. Truly astounding. Next we moved on to Article 3, the punishments that were given to those who broke the laws of Article 2. Solaris Pius was a typically interesting subject, not only did it seem to give Varis pause before speaking, but it appeared that this particular law was meant to vanish into the background, to be forgotten by the current populace. How many other laws faded away like that? As Varis continued onwards, speaking of how the mortals and immortals worked together to form such a treaty, he began to wonder why it was that they couldnt continue to work together on the council? If they were trusted enough to not be mind controlled or charmed back then, then why not now? And why not use this [i]Starag Commandment[/i] to help enforce such a truce between High Council Mages and Vampires. Could another such failsafe be created today? Or has this treaty weakened the might and power of mages to a watered down version of what legends held before. 

 A loud bang quickly knocked Salem out of his thoughts and his eyes darted towards the door, head still down and taking notes, making no indication that he was paying attention to the commotion. Several students began to speak up, asking questions, mocking the students, or just plainly being giddy and excited at the newcomers presence. Salem waited patiently for the racket to stop before lifting his pencil into the air once more and calling upon Varis.
