Several minutes ago.
Angor's group was traveling through the dark maze with the puppy taking the lead.
Greya and Gragg, a.k.a Spivet, were still wondering what exactly this strange creature was. Telling from how the animal was walking on fast and confident steps, it sure knew how to get out of the darkness. Yet Greya and Spivet's inspection spells only suggested that it was an ordinary pet dog no matter how many times they tried.
They were very thirsty for an answer, but since they also knew that Sunders was unlikely to tell them anything, they just kept moving without speaking.
Spivet could never spend too much time without using his tongue, so he asked why Sunders wanted him to become Flora's student.
"I mean, why don't YOU be my professor instead? Or Sumesh! Speaking of Sumesh, he made it to a truth-finder, didn't he? And you know only truth-finders can teach me new stuff!"
