Emil watched impassively as his mentor-brother worked on regenerating an arm with the confidence and focus he'd only seen in specialists and Healers with decades of experience.

Emil briefly spared a side glance at the two Enforcing students watching the procedure in silent fascination. Khalifa Hassan and Alan Richards. young Master Rydel's closest companions.
A bad investment if Seth Rydel was hoping to increase his standing in Society, but then again, the Rydel family had never seen the value in making connections; too blinded by their family's gleaming reputation and arrogance to see beyond themselves.
On the other hand, Emil's younger brother, Feliks, was using his time here wisely, establishing a wide network of "friends" with the talented, the influential, and the well connected among his peers.

As expected of Master Hala's grandson.
There wasn't a single flaw to be detected.
