Dudian nodded. They were walking through the corridor when he asked: " Is this the new alchemy lab?"
"Kind of" replied Nightingale with a vague answer. She suddenly remember something as she asked. "I almost forgot to ask you. Are you still an apprentice? Or, Have you joined the dark church and became an official alchemist?"
Dudian truthfully answered: "An apprentice."
Nightingale hesitated as she said "Oh." She changed the subject: "Anyway, its almost four years that we haven't seen each other. You just left like that. Did you go through trouble?"
Dudian nodded, "A little bit. But everything is behind."
Nightingale smiled: "That's good. Do you have your own alchemy lab now?"
Dudian's eyes flash: "There is one. What about it?"
"Nothing. If you have time I'll take you to meet Mouse. He comes to this little town too, not far from here. If you need him you can join their circle too." Nightingale smiled.
