LVI: Discerned

"I-I was kidding.." Seera let out a few painful chuckles before she managed to restrain herself. Ilaz' shocked face instantly changed into a look of disbelief.

'She can still spare some energy joking around..' With narrowed eyes, Ilaz studied her friend. When she herself was kicked out of the academy, she had no experience living on the road due to the fact that she dedicated most of her life to magic and might have even starved to death without her knowledge of the arcane. A hard lesson to become independent, void of the academy's support. That pitiful state she could see on Seera. She can only guess that her friend was also kicked out by those wretched old men. The question is; Why?

"Wait here.. I'm gonna go get some food." Ilaz quickly left after giving her friend a look of assurance.
