"I certainly hope not," Sean said with a brittle smile.

"Yeah, I'd rather not re-evaluate too many more times in my life," Sean said, "There's something to be said for a certain amount of stability..."

"Hopefully it is actually the right direction," Sean said, "How do we really know?"

"Bloody hell this is a whole lot of philosophy for one day. Next I'll be speaking in riddles and sending knights off on quests."

"It's a fine tradition," she chuckled.

"And I suppose with the way the conversation started, we weren't about to be discussing the weather."

"A fine tradition of sending knights off to fight dragons," Sean smirked. "I find most conversations here to be about things far from the norm."

"Though I do say the weather is quite nice for chance meetings. For London at least."

"But then again, I don't often land unless something catches my eye."

"I'm touched," Sean said, "A flock of ravens turning into a person certainly caught mine and anywhere else would've sent me running to hills."

Sean chuckled.

"I say anytime a meeting doesn't end in fire is a good one," Sean said, "Perhaps my standards are a bit low?"

"And possibly a tripping hazard if you start to look like Merlin," Sean said, "Perhaps I need to meet more than one other wizard otherwise I'll have that image of other wizards in my head forever. Nailah being the lone exception."

There was only a slight twinge of falsehood when Sean mentioned meeting only one other wizard or was it uncertainty?

"You're... perhaps not as alone as you think, here on campus. Private sorts though, so I'm afraid I won't say more."

"Of course, the first wizard I met when I came to campus was a staunch nudist, which was rather odd."

"I know there are others, can feel their touch on the currents of magic," Sean said eyes far away for a moment. "Well, they do say that wizards are supposed to be an eccentric lot, but hopefully you'll take our first impressions each on their own merits."

"Aye, rather assumed he wasn't the standard issue."

"Though, lack of trousers aside, I suppose I'm ending up in contact with magic more and more."

"Well you're dating a sorceress," Sean said, "One would assume you'd be coming into contact at least somewhat often. Though perhaps Nai-Professor Weaver has more self-control than I do. Though I learned at a young age that magic is much like breathing to me."

"She wasn't a sorceress when we met last semester. Perhaps why she had such insight for you on whether one ought to embrace such things."

"That would certainly make sense," Sean said, "It has been a bit of an adjustment basically going from hiding to well being perhaps a bit too overt. It's a bit hard figuring out the proper balance."

"I think that would be considered quite the understatement, Headmistress," Sean smiled. "But that might be considered a conversation for a different time."

"That dress is not quite what I expected from a headmistress."

"I would prefer the future was without storm clouds," Sean said with a shrug. "But that would be a bit unrealistic."

"I suppose the question is can you really keep the storm from coming or does it simply take a different form?"

"It's not that," Sean said, "It's more that...well perhaps I lost my point at somewhere between satisfaction at being able to make our own choices and the la-lets stop there before we realize that I've likely lost the plot."
