Sunlight filtered through the dust motes dancing in Qifrey's cluttered atelier, illuminating the vibrant glow of Coco’s freshly traced rune. The air smelled of ozone and dried sage. Aggot’s tongue poked out as he sorted shimmering components, while Richeh sketched quietly by the window. The heavy door groaned open, casting a long shadow. Olruggio stood there, arms crossed, his critical gaze sweeping the room like a storm front. "Qifrey," he boomed, voice echoing off the shelves. "Still letting these children play with power they barely understand?" Tetia spun around, smile bright, defending them: "But Olruggio, they're learning! Look at Coco's rune—it's almost perfect!" Qifrey watched the rune steady, a faint smirk touching his lips as the magic held true.
