Two students are talking at the transit relay at the Northern gate. One of them appears to have just returned from Bjartr Woods.

Odila: “Welcome back! Every time you to the Solisylum, I worry I’ll never see you back at the Academy again!”

Ellinor: “Really? Why would you think that?”

Odilla: “Well, I just don’t get it. Why would anyone from Lahai-Roi even study here in the first place? Most students would jump at the chance to study at the Solisylum instead.”

Ellinor: “If it’s just about gaining knowledge, you’d be right. We wouldn’t need to enroll as long-term students. But for us, the younger Roya generation, it’s more important that we connect with the outside world. that’s the real reason Solisylum supports us being here. Of course, we’re learning a lot too.”

Odilla: “I see! We should chat more. I’ll tell you about my hometown sometime. I’ve got a great story about the Order of the Deep I think you’ll love!”

Ellinor: “I’d like that.”
