They've kept to the same clearing as the last, because the location's good. Far enough away that no one could stumble upon them by accident, near enough in case something went seriously wrong, it works.

He has scarcely more hope this time than he did the last, but at least there's no singing involved. This can't go as strangely. In theory.

You were still working on your primal mastery, then? I know things were not taught consistently from Circle to Circle but that is where most apprentices in The Spire were focused upon their harrowing.

[ Something they haven't really offered in truth, despite Lauren. ]

Fire is not my specialty but I can help you learn the standard introductory spells for the Spirit School. We do not...do harrowings, here. Not truly. But we do have a course that would prepare you for such a thing and a voluntary test that is similar.

[A silent nod at the word 'harrowing.' Of course, no mage in Kinloch Hold ever knew for certain when it was going to happen, but when an Enchanter believed a student to be ready, it was often easy enough to infer.]

I'd heard something about that. [Word got around, even when one hadn't been formally introduced to the Council yet.] I'd be more than willing to be put to the test — for someone to assess my readiness, that is. Once we're finished here.

I will contact Knight-Commander Norrington and see who of his men are available to stand at the ready if that is your preference.

[ Thus had been the agreement. ]

Depending on how this goes- we may need to arrange for the assessment to happen tomorrow. If this goes well? We may do so afterward. If it goes poorly? I would rather not take the additional risk.

[So all she has to do is get to the other side of this, and she'll be able to prove herself properly.

Vasran doesn't smile much with her lips, but it's all over her eyes as she nods in agreement: the light of excitement, the eagerness to advance beyond where her training was so abruptly cut off.

With no more to say on the matter for now, she points her renewed focus at the runes, and continues to work.]
