With his second week wrapping up, Adalricus took some time to meditate in the silence and privacy of his room. From the moment he’d stepped through the doors into the Great Hall back on the first; he’d found himself under near-constant scrutiny of not only the students but also the staff, and it was starting to annoy him.
