In other news, Pale and Troia had been getting along nicely. Tycon liked the Oracle well enough-- though he had the suspicion that Invictus member Kimura Taree might be displeased to learn of the young man's interactions with her.
Natalya had often come to visit Tycon or vice versa. Most of their conversation was her venting about her coworkers or subordinates. Sasha seemed to not like that... but Tycon assumed there was a deeper meaning behind it-- likely that she was a rather strict instructor.
Lone continued mail correspondence with his romantic interest, Coraline Heartsong. She found a job in the city of Archangel as a researcher for a prestigious Mage Order. Tycon looked forward to visiting and discussing her published papers-- all interesting, if a bit esoteric to magical community in the Eastern States.
