Still without speaking, they headed into the room where the meeting usually took place because that was where they could feel him.
They entered and blinked.
Severin was there, alright.
He sat at the head of the table. In front of him were fruits, mostly grapes, that he ate slowly. He had bathed and changed into new clothes.
His face was calm and controlled, his eyes sharp, a blue of the deep sea. Beside him were a pen and paper.
They all stared at each other for a while.
"Julius, you can still get in touch with the WireRats without going there, right?" Severin asked immediately.
Julius nodded unconsciously. That was the first thing he was going to say? "You need them?"
Severin nodded. "I do. Come quick and deliver this to them. And let me say to all of you, congratulations on making it into the first year and advancing a stage. Now it's time to work harder and advance another stage."
