As Savine collected the items she had gathered for the meeting Vevian approached her. Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered.
"Rolan's dead."
"Who's dead?"
"Rolan Baroda."
"Who's that?"
Savine looked genuinely confused.
"It's the Magus that came to you first."

Both of their attempts were thwarted due to them not having drafting papers and Vevian's family being influential enough, so a Magus couldn't just do whatever they wanted. Of course, there needed to be some gifts and whatnot from Vevian's side, so the Magi didn't feel bad.
"Ah, the Initiate," Savine nodded. Then, pondering for a bit, she asked. "What about it?"
