"Good, try to make the others remember to do that too, alright? Good training never really ends." Istredd is partly saying this out loud to seem like the conversation is going on, and also because he means it, because he still is Wilhelm's teacher at the end of the day.

A lot of his teaching has gone by the wayside between them being missing for three weeks, his slow adjustment to returning, and now this. A regular schedule is hard to maintain, it might be he just has to solo tutor for a time, so people's time isn't wasted. A problem for another time.

Istredd knew the wooden brooch on sight obviously, and if he saw what Kell was wearing, he'd recognize that even better. No, he's fine. He had no positive ties to the former regime. He actually gets along well with Mace, our new High Mage.
