We're at the Tower. I could come here any time, but I don't. I know enough about it -- which isn't to say I know everything about it, but I know enough.

I sigh a little, keeping my face as impassive as possible. I'd prefer to be back at school actually learning something. But instead I'm at the back of the line, doing all the things I'm meant to do, looking at all the things I'm meant to be looking at, but with most of my thoughts far away.

Someone speaks my name. I turn, offer a bow before I even get a proper look at the face. "Yes, that's me?"
