[Sirus]

"That's a relief. I was half afraid he'd accidentally murder some farmer." Gregor muttered as Anja left the room. He gulped down some tea, feeling more awake already.

[freeformschooler]

Charlotte, having disappeared a few minutes ago, finally left the room's clothing closet and presented her new outfit to Gregor while he was eating.

: "What do you think? Perfect attire for the job, no?"

[Sirus]

Unfortunately, Charlotte's reappearance occured just as Gregor was taking a drink, causing him to choke temporarily. After a moment of coughing, he responded:

: "Wow. I mean, yes. Looks perfect."

[freeformschooler]

: "Excellent. I can hardly eat from excitement, so ready as soon as you are."

CHAPTER 7: START

[Sirus]

"Sounds good. Let's be off."

Gregor grabbed a couple of the bread rolls (for later) and was ready for Chapter 7.

[Haspen]

When they got outside, Mannan waited with someone new.

"Let me introduce Edwin Westbringer, a traveling mage. In exchange of staying at my place, he is my aide of sorts. Sometimes. He will go with us, if you don't mind."

Seconds later, Anja got her wagon right beside Mannan. It seems it was going to be their vehicle of choice for this journey as well.

//Edwin Westbringer is in!

[Sirus]

Gregor shrugged and offered his hand to the newcomer.

: "Nice to meet you, Mr Westbringer. Guess we'll be traveling together for now."

[Powder Miner]

Alexander grumbles to himself, walks out of the room. He has what can only be described as an expression of extreme dread on his face.

[Zako]

Edwin looked at Gregor closely for a second and seemingly satisfied for now, he shook his hand.

"Hello, you look like a somewhat decent sort. And you also look like you've gone through some trouble, which you definitely have if I recall. Has your stay been satisfactory?"

[Sirus]

Gregor shrugged. "I suppose you could say that. At least we didn't spend the night in some dungeon, so it could have been worse. So, how much did Lord Tunhauser tell you?"

[Haspen]

Mannan, who was standing nearby, coughed.

"I told him all that you know."

[Zako]

"Indeed, I think that you have definitely been through a lot recently, but you definitely have something that's of more interest to me, as a scholar of the magical arts." Edwin rubbed his hands gleefully and grinned.

"I would love to take a closer study at that object later on, ideally in a safer environment and without kingdom changing events about to happen of course. There's just so little that anyone knows about them after all, and it's an incredible opportunity that may help with future problems if we discover anything about them." He looks hopefully at each of the group, a questioning look on his face.

[Sirus]

Gregor arched an eyebrow.

"That's a little presumptuous, isn't it? We just met literally a moment ago."

[freeformschooler]

Gregor arched an eyebrow.

"That's a little presumptuous, isn't it? We just met literally a moment ago."

Charlotte narrowed her eyes and nodded toward Gregor.

: "Indeed. I cannot prevent his highness from sharing the knowledge which I shared with him, but I'm not going to let just anyone study what I've protected for years."

[Zako]

Edwin sighed and nodded sadly.

"Yes, I thought as much. I apologise if I came off as rude, but you have to understand, this sort of chance happens something along the lines of once in a life time, if ever. I had to try, but I understand you wanting to keep it safe, as it's dangerous in the wrong hands. I'm sure we all know that at least, so it's good to see that you are taking this whole mess seriously."

He gives a sad smile and shakes his head.

"And I must admit: The scholar in me has a severe craving for new knowledge, especially where magic is concerned. Typical of one wanting to become a sage, I would say. So once again, I'm sorry."
