Lythra and Magnus both stand silently next to the grave their heads bowed, in the silence Lythra thinks about the time she spent with the professor and all of the things he taught her. She moved her hand the rest on the back of Magnus as her emotions and thoughts wash over her.

Perception: 1d20 + 11 ⇒ (1) + 11 = 12
Seeing as nothing else will happen tonight Lythra and Magnus head off to their room for the night curious about what tomorrow will bring. She lays in bed looking at the stars out her window; Magnus lies next to the bed.

Magnus starts wandering around the room still keeping an eye on everyone. Lythra keeping a hold on her book continues her conversation with the people in the room.
“Can it be called charisma.... or do you call it, kindness, and as for secrets.... I still do not fully, understand the importance of them.”
She looks about the room
“and if you wish to know..... about the professors encounters, I’m sure they are among the books.... I know his journal on me is here. “

Necromancy! Where’s Barrand? Is he reaching for his one dagger?

“He uumm helped me one time, and taught me a few things.”
Lythra thinks through her words carefully, becoming a bit nervous with so many people around.

Lythra keep a careful eye on both Cairath and Caibel.
“no, that’s not.... exactly how we met.”

Lythra a bit put off the entire situation carefully extends her hand towards Cairath, as she does so she keeps an eye on Magnus keeping him calm.
“Oh, and I met the professor...... a long time back, I uummm was a pu...child then or I guess... more of a child then I am now.”

Lythra sends Caibel a confused look and Magnus growls at hem softly.
“ I ummm don’t think I have..... spoken my name so how, do you know it.....and.... if I remember my lessons..... an extended hand is to be.....what’s the word, shaken.... its called a hand shake correct."
She watches Cairath and Cable to see if she and been right or made an incorrect assumption.

Lythra keeps a cautious eye on Cairath moving her hand across the cover of the book.
“That is sr.... something I find interesting, about city people..... you all seem to well base importance, on what luxuries people have... and not on who they are. A bird bases partnership... on the color of wings, but you would base it on the size of their.... nest or were the nest is located... it is strange.”
She turns her attention to Caibel.
“you have animal friends too.... yes... he has been with me all, my life... I guess”

Lythra looks up at Cairath from her book then to Magnus and places a hand on his back to calm him down so that he is now lying at Lythra’s feet. Lythra looks up at Cairath picking her words carefully.
“Magnus is just protective....when he is around strangers, and ya, we both have stayed here a few times....though neither of us really like the indoors over the forest, this place.... is nice though”

Lythra returns to her chair in the library watching as the others start to head off to bed, she picks her book back up and continues to read not quite ready to turn in for the night. She traces along the words of the book as she reads becoming almost completely enveloped in the text. Magnus sits at alert next to her.

Lythra looks up from her book and moves to her feet watching the other guests enter the room. She relaxes a bit seeing Kendra and Doctor William walk in, she moves towards them.
“Doctor it is good to see you again, though I wish it wasn't under these circumstances.”
She turns and looks at Kendra
“You are all wet, are you okay would you like me to fetch you a towel or something?”
She hesitantly shifts her weight from foot to foot uneasy around so many people, her senses in high alert. Magnus stands next to her his ears twitching listening around.

Lythra starts to wander around looking at the shelves and shelves of the professor’s books, some looked extremely old and some looked rather new along with ones that had been opened a few times and others that had been read so many times that the spines were weak, and selects a one that she had read lots of times during her stays in the mansion. After picking out a book Lythra turns to face the other guest that had followed her to the library.
“uumm.. Hello, so you ah, know the professor right?”
She tentatively watches him taking in as much of his appearance as she can with most of his face being covered by his hood. She then moves to find a place to sit and look over her book.

Lythra cautiously accepts the token from Seranel examining it in her hand she looks up at him a bit startled by his gesture and closeness. .
“I... oh uuumm, thank you for this... and thank you for your condolences and I’m sorry for your loss as well”
Lythra cast a quick glance at the new comers that followed in after her, she takes in their appearances trying to judge if they are a possible threat or not. Then remembering that they are all friends of the Professor and cannot be too bad she relaxes a bit, but still a bit weary of the new people she moved to keep her distance and kept Magnus close at her side. Taking in last glances at the people in the room she silently moves about coming to Kendra’s side,
“Thank you for your hospitality; I’ll always be a shout away if you need me, okay?”
Not being one for much contact she gives Kendra a soft squeeze on her shoulder as a form of trying to comfort her before excusing herself to go to the library Magnus follows along behind her. As she travels towards the library she studies the markings in the oddly cold stone, muttering to herself in an unidentifiable language.

Yes, he ages way slower and is also bigger than the average wolf.

Lythra and Magnus are both 18 years old.

Background:
Lythra is the unwanted daughter of an Elvin noble man and an Angelic woman. After the birth of their daughter they abandoned her in a dense foggy forest in Ustalave. Shortly after being abandoned a pack of wolves happened across Lythra, her body and hair was glowing like silver in the moonlight still full of celestial energy. The pack surrounded Lythra, investigating her. A young runt like pup leapt forward he paw landing on Lythra’s arm, the glow started moving from Lythra to the pup and back and forth before diming down and vanishing. The pups once brown fur became silver matching the girls hair (they both have silver hair/fur in the moonlight and a light medium brown in the daylight).After the bond was formed between the pup, Magnus, and Lythra the pack decided to take her in as one of their own, the pack taught Lythra to run, hunt, survive, everything. Lythra grew up with the pack forming a special bond with Magnus, they were almost inseparable. When Lythra was 6 there was an extremely harsh winter that resulted in Lythra and Magnus being separated from the rest of the pack, as they wandered around the found refuge in an old shed behind a mansion. The next morning after the unforgiving storm had passed the Professor of the house found Lythra and Magnus, after lots of time and convincing they decided that the trusted the professor enough to stay inside his house during the winter. For the duration of her stay with the professor he took to trying to teach her Common and a few other things. After winter had passed Lythra and Magnus returned to the forest only after promising to come back and stay next winter and every winter after. During her next 12 winters in the mansion Lythra met only two people the Professors daughter and the town doctor on the few occasions she was sick or came to the mansion with a broken bone, but most of the short months she was at the mansion she spent them hidden away from visitors or with the professor or his daughter sharing stories and learning new things.

Lythra stepped up to the iron gate she had passed through so many times before only this time the estate had a different feel, a colder more harsh feel. She remembered receiving the note informing her of what had happened to the professor she had come to know so well, taking in a deep breath and fixing her fur tunic, she passed through the gates her trusted wolf, Magnus, padding along beside her as they approach the Victorian styled mansion. Lythra and Magnus walked up the path to the strong oaken doors the light wind rustling her long light brown hair; she pushes her hair from her dark green eyes as she raises her hand to knock. Lythra stood before the large striking doors comparing its daunting size to her own smaller form as she waited for the doors to open. She then started glancing around to see if others were approaching, but saw no one emerging from her foggy surroundings, finally the doors to the estate open and Lythra and Magnus slip inside. Once inside she was greeted with memories of sights and smells of her previous visits here. Lythra reached her hand down to pet Magnus he stood next to her his height reaching just above her hip, his fur matching the same color as her hair. They stood in the entrance of the estate for a moment before moving farther in into the mansion, this time however things felt much different.
