Great Aunt Nezja had been wanting to see me, Natha said. After all, we only had a chance to talk about Natha the last time, so she wanted to know me better this time. Seemed that she didn't have any problem coming over since her problem with Natha was already resolved.
Well, I had nothing to do these days, so...of course, I wouldn't refuse. She was one of the few who knew about Shwa, since she used to be Natha's legal guardian, and she was immune to mindbending spells--if anything, she would be the one doing the mindbending. It was nice to talk to someone without skirting around trying to hide Shwa's existence or location.
"How are you, my dear?" she asked with a soft smile that was totally different from the strict, headmaster's face she had the first time we met. How she did it while still in a perfect posture and in an elegant tone...I had no idea.
