The schedule afterwards consisted of Aya spending a lot of time like a personal assistant. Paperwork, the calls, the reservations, the taking lunch or dinner to Levin in the magistrate library, taking care and helping with lesson plans.
Although the explanations along the way from Levin were absolutely helpful and new to Aya, but the awkward feeling lingering was not really going off.
Another late night and Aya comes to her room tired.
Throwing the bag on a bed, not even bothering to turn the lights on, she walks to her small kitchen in the apartment in the dorms - to make some tea.
She pulled out her phone, that is at lowest brightness setting, as her eyes hurt from all that information intake throughout the day.
Few pokes at the contacts and she rings someone.
"Hey there," - She says sounding exhausted, as the other end picked the receiver,- "I'm alive. How are you doing?"
"Missing my wife this side of the world." - A warm voice filled with love and affection answers back.- "Have you seen her, by any chance? She's not tall, nor short, is very cute and does her best at work, and her name is Aya, seen her?"
Feeling of relaxation engulfed Aya as she made her tea, whilst listening to her husband on the phone.
She shared all worries, all the news and every bit that bothered her. He listened and spoke of his days, then he kept on saying how much he loves her and misses her.
"So, does that queasy feeling still persists around Levin?" - He asks.
"Can't put my finger on what exactly is off, but yes, the queasy does not stop. I actually found out that there were only three students throughout his career whom he picked by himself. I'm third. All the rest, assigned by academy did not last even three days. As you know, I'm here for two months now." - Aya speaks.
"That sounds dodgy. Interesting how other students he picked went on in life." - Husband was kind of taking questions from the air.
Aya frowned.
"You are right, I have never actually thought of it. Maybe I should ask around about them. Thing is - I heard that there are other two picked b Levin, but have never heard names, nor heard anything about them. It's like that topic went taboo. Also, each time I ask Levin of other students he had - he changes subject at the speed of light. Not willing to talk about them." - Aya was now getting at that queasy feeling closer, poking at it's gut.
"Say, what if I do some digging for you. If the topic is quite as taboo as you say, then asking questions might be troublesome and giving the attention and worry that you do not need. So, gimme a day and tomorrow evening I'll let you know what I find." - The voice so calming and reassuring.
"Yeah, you're right. I should not do something that troublesome. So I'll leave the mystery solving to you."
The rest of that chat was about the nights getting colder, as the autumn becomes diverse.
Then shower and bed time.
