Your domestic work here has been so strenuous as to leave little room for much proper magical study. In fact, your “tutelage” here has been left up to you, usually as a chapter or two out of your college textbook before you get to bed each night. But your lady is a busy witch, so you suppose you ought to be grateful to even share a house with her.
You wake up at no less than the crack of dawn–5 A.M–every morning for your first lesson of the day, breakfast. Your master’s preferred breakfast–poached eggs atop a fresh-baked muffin with wilted spinach and hollandaise sauce–can take some time to complete, after all.

You make your way up the stairs to your master’s door, the intermediary through which most of your communications take place. You usually leave your meals here for her with a knock and an announcement, but.. the red braised venison you left for dinner last night is still sat before the door. Your lady’s never missed a meal like this before.
