The evening in the Common Room passed quietly. None of the new brothers paid him any attention, as if they had never seen him drink their same blood. Trevor refrained from talking to them, and they left him alone. This truce gave him the opportunity to study them from a distance, sitting at the table amidst books and scrolls, without being disturbed. It seemed that his theory about Children of Salazar and women bearers of misfortune was still valid.
