"Woah... Really?" Alaric is seen with Sylphy, as they walk around the campus,

"Correct. Rudeus doesn't seem to be the brightest, though... He barely recognizes me..." Sylphy was still a bit sad, Rudeus couldn't find out who Fitz was...

"Rudeus is a lot like Paul... Way too oblivious." Alaric comments, as Sylphy wondered,

"So... How's your relationships going... With your... Erm..." Sylphy was also getting used to the idea of a man having a male and female lover, marrying them even, as equals.

"Oh, they're going great. Kristene even commissions some rings to allow us to communicate our thoughts. It's more personal, though..." Alaric comments, the white-haired elf a bit surprised,

"... Say... You come from the Notos house, right?" Sylphy wondered as Alaric nodded,

"Yeah. Paul removed that part of his name, but still helps him with connections just by being a Greyrat." Alaric explained as Sylphy wondered,

"Do you... This Rudy... Ya know..." Sylphy asked a personal question, shocking Alaric,

"H-Huh? Of course, he would! W-Well... H-He has his tastes of course, so do I, but I don't think he'll reject you BECAUSE you don't have a stereotypical appearance!" Alaric explained, as Sylphy was silent, silent as Fitz he supposed, as Alaric explained,

"Look, Sylphy. You won't be able to rest unless you tell him your identity. I see him talk about Fitz all the time, and if he does, who knows what will happen if he realizes the Fitz he wanted turned out to be a woman." Alaric then disclaims,

"But of course, I am not saying he won't like you, who knows, maybe it'll turn out even better than you'd imagine," Alaric explained, as Sylphy nodded,

"Right... Your Highness thinks so too..."

But then I got to see the girl Rudeus was talking about.

"She's such a talented one!" Alaric is seen messing with her hair, with Zanoba going on about a few lessons he wants to teach her.

"She learned a lot from just a month. That also proves my theory that a child's brain is more susceptible to the ideas of Silent Spellcasting. You did it, I did it, and so did Sylphy." Rudeus explained, as Alaric paused, he wanted to tell him... Everything... But Sylphy begged for him not to spill it...

"Oh, isn't that a-"

"Ah yes, indeed it is, Master Alaric!" Zanoba goes on about the Ruijerd figurine Rudeus made, he too made one for Alaric it seems, as Juliette was listening in on EVERYTHING. Alaric even understood Dwarves a bit. Julie was VERY into the smells of his wines, and drank some too when he was looking, the bottle he gave to Rudeus being the source. But surprisingly she didn't get drunk, even for a first-timer. That was hours ago, Rudeus attempted to stop her but she downed half of the bottle before he even got a taste of it.

But then... Disaster struck.

"Hey... What the hell happened?" Rudeus dropped his bag, Zanoba scared for his life, as Alaric gently grabbed Julie, scooting the two FAR away from the potentially deadly explosion of rage.

"Alaric...!" Rudeus cracked his neck to face him, closing his eyes with a smile,

"Why don't you take Julie and introduce her to Lilia and Aisha?" Rudeus wondered as Alaric nodded,

"R-Right! Come on, Julie!!!" Alaric rushes out, as he hears the yells of Rudeus from afar,

"Wanna go and get something to eat!?!" Alaric wondered, the girl nodding, as...

"Okay..." Alaric is seen walking closer to his home, Julie eating a nice fluffy cake, she is delighted to taste it.

"So, this is my home. If you wish to come back anytime, just ask Zanoba." Alaric explained as Julie nodded,
