Yep, you nod as you rise from your seat and let Obber tumble to your feet, but thanks for all the help!
“Believe me: it was hardly a courtesy.” The Professor replies as she finishes the rest of her drink and places the glass next to her on the desk, “Nevertheless, I hope you survive long enough for us to meet again, ‘<span class="mu-i">Professor</span>’.”
Anton, you answer as you linger by the door with a warm smile on your face, your name is Anton.
“The pleasure’s all mine… <span class="mu-i">Anton.</span>” Answers Lis’tat with one last flicker in her eyes! Shutting the door behind you with the taste of Millig still fresh in your throat, you make your way down the hall with Obber at your heels! Just gotta round up the gang, you think to yourself with a fresh spring in your step, and then…
“The <span class="mu-i">KHORROZEH WING…</span>”
You study Toppel’s foxlike face with a hint of a frown. Yea, you nod, that’s the one! Why’s she acting so cryptic about it anyways? She’s the one who recommended visiting!
“Because,” Oti explains as he reclines in his wicker chair, “Students and Staff avoid that wing for a reason.”
A gentle warmth tickles your face along with a faint breeze as you plan your next move from a couch situated in the aforementioned ‘<span class="mu-s">STONE GARDEN</span>’. The open-air lounge was remarkably empty when you arrived, and while you’re almost certain Oti had something to do with it, you also know better than to ask what he did!
Even so, you shrug, it’s the best lead you have… and despite your impromptu lesson you’ve still got the element of surprise, so-
“I hate to admit it, but I’m impressed!” Chirps Toppel as her new tail gives her chair an enthusiastic flick, “Most Substitutes barely last a whole teaching period here, let alone a day!”
“And this ‘Lis’tat’--she granted you access to the <span class="mu-s">KHORROZEH WING?</span>” Adds Oti, who isn’t as enthusiastic about sharing his thoughts on your successful lesson.
Yep, you nod, now all that’s left is to waltz on in and grab what we need!
“The sooner the better,” Oti drones as his eyes steal a glance in Toppel’s direction, “We’re operating on enough borrowed time as-is. Have you considered what you intend to do?”
You certainly are <span class="mu-i">NOW!</span> Lis’tat hinted at the Khorrozeh Staff being a bit unhinged… Whether that means they’ll ask questions and shoot later remains to be seen, but you can definitely see the advantages of having Toppel and Oti tag along…
Then again, you can also see why one person could be effective too…
Whatever you plan to do, it’s time to get it <span class="mu-s">DONE!</span> You’re <span class="mu-b">ANTON THE UNKNOWABLE…</span> and you’re about to make those notes on Trier… <span class="mu-s">DISAPPEAR!</span>
