At first, I'd been excited about the news of the representative arriving. That excitement dimmed when I arrived to find him receiving a verbal whipping from Vetrov.
The excitement almost went out entirely when Vetrov explained, in between cu...
2025-05-17 14:00:10 +0000 UTC View PostThe night passed without incident, though I might've stayed up later than necessary looking through the new grimoires and waiting for Bevel. Just in case she decided she wanted lessons after all.

2025-05-11 14:00:08 +0000 UTC View PostI'd thought about having Bevel there for when I woke Keria. Of course I had. But I'd wanted to be able to shield her if things hadn't worked out with her sister turned golem bath attendant.
