It's not bad, seeing different things for a change... but I guess I still liked Aspio best of all. Quieter than most cities, best library in the world, weather's never a problem.

Yeah. Research takes resources, so it's pretty hard to be a mage without being affiliated. I get to do what I want most of the time, anyway. Just have to pass a periodic evaluation and take on any tasks that the Knights give me.

Oh, are you affiliated, Rita? You seemed like an independent kind of person to me.

That actually doesn't sound too bad. I always imagined research being more restrictive.

Don’t think I’d have the guts to tell off knights or police.

Yeah, go ahead.

I love you.
