Logan Pearce, a dirty-blonde and stalwart young lad with a knack for cooking, cutting, stirring and cleaning, stood tall and gave you a mock salute, before adjusting his hat. He was no slouch with a healing spell, either, and had a certain exactitude in his measurements and movements which is very useful in a practical exam like that one. He’d have probably acquitted himself quite well without you but TOGETHER, you were practically a dream-team—you knowledge combined, your complementary abilities and shared aptitude for the ‘Artes Vitae’. You breezed through that exam, creating a potion worthy of an actual GRADUATE of the program, let alone teenage (or teenage-equivalent, in adjusted elf-years) students!
It wasn’t just this exam, either—you took to partnering with him in this field and in many others, and even to spending time with him between classes. Pearce was quiet by nature, but listened well, and retained what he was told. He was also, solidly-built, like a cement brick… And, of course, fully human. Over the next year, while you grew scarcely an inch, he rose to nearly an adult height, and no SMALL adult either! It was handy to have someone like that about, and he only SOMETIMES teased you for needing him to fetch tools and ingredients from the shelves above as you toiled together in every advanced elective in the field of Life Magic and Living Alchemy that you could, building a reputation beyond the novelty of your Fey ancestry as the rising star of your field—the BEST student in all the Tower in your particular area of expertise.
