"So when is Davon returning?"
"Ludwig."
"He introduced himself as Davon."
"He lied."
"That sounds like his problem."
Celine nearly laughed. Correcting Timur had achieved nothing so far, and she doubted repetition would improve her chances. Ludwig could explain himself when he returned.
"He'll come back when he's finished."
"With what?"
"Studying."
Timur stared at her. The answer seemed to require more consideration than anything she had said about the attacks in Lotostra. He slowly lowered himself into the chair opposite her desk.
"Davon is studying?"
"Ludwig is studying, yes."
"That man used magic when we traveled together. He already knew magic."
"He knows more now. Apparently, knowing magic and understanding magic are different things."
