Optical Illusion

"Ah— yes… yes I'm new," Leonardo nodded his head, looking a bit overwhelmed as his fingers snuck into the pockets of his robes. "I was told I'll be learning the basics once I got here." 

"Of course, you will," the man nodded his head enthusiastically. "Follow me to the library, I'll recommend you a few books to grasp an outlook on the situation while you grasp for a bit of common information. Although this is a nation of military prowess, we value good talents and good brains just as much." 

The man didn't seem like he was about to introduce himself anytime soon. 

As he turned around and vanished from sight, Leonardo shook his head helplessly and followed at a speed appropriate to someone of his level. He tried to recollect the true face of Emily, but he quickly realized that it was an impossible task since he had nothing but his optical observatory skills to rely on, not to mention she had her back facing his direction.
