[After work, and after scrubbing off the pungent scent of herbs and oils from her skin, Nadine seeks out Julie. She's promised the younger woman some instruction in the foundations of magic use, and she's not going to forget about that. She's still certain that Julie would excel at the sort of magic most commonly practiced in Nott, and that she can teach her.
Despite her first impressions - which were, admittedly, poor - Nadine has come to know Julie in the last few months. She recognizes now that the young woman is not too far removed from herself and those she finds kinship with. Rough youth, difficult life, hurt enough times that walls have been built. Only where Nadine's walls are smooth and placid, Julie's are spiked and armed. Just a different sort of defense, built for the same purpose. But under those defenses is a fierce, clever, caring woman that Nadine is pretty sure could take on the world if she wanted.
There is so much potential in Julie and all she wants to do is help her realize it. It isn't fair that no one has, in all the other woman's life. Julie deserves better. So she knocks on the door to the room Julie and Lloyd share, dressed in her usual white chemise and pale blue kirtle, and calls through it.]
