Well, right now I'm on a mission to see if what Astrid said is true or not. So, as soon as I left Astrid's office, I ran in search of Cordelia.
But I didn't have far to go; around a corner, a pair of hands appeared and held me down and abducted me.
Sure enough, in the dark corner of the hallway, under the stairs, was Cordelia, who had caught me.
I knew she must be close by, for I felt some time ago that someone was following me... or, rather, that Seraphina was being followed.
After a long time, I realized it was Cordelia.
She was very cautious, and I noticed that she was difficult to detect with normal detection methods.
She had no concealment, but her presence was naturally low, and even more so if she used stealth spells.
