"Well, this is the Academy of the Twin Pah. I'm sure you must have heard of it. We specialise in teaching students to grasp divine magic or arcane magic, as they wish. Although they are our primary foci, we also teach courses in many other subjects. Indeed we pride ourselves on having the widest range of courses available anywhere. Whatever you want to learn, we can teach it. For a fee, of course. Your guardian is?" My guardian is Julia of Hillsdown, Keeper of All Souls. She's the best healer ever, and she's a Wizard.

(She smiled slightly.)
"In a post such as that I hope that she is a skilled healer. I am glad to hear what you say. And a Wizard too? A woman of wide accomplishments then. I like to hear that.
What were you hoping to study in your time here?"

"I do not see anything particularly difficult. You will need to specify languages to learn of course. If I may keep this, I will estimate the fee for the teaching services that you require. Then we can settle the payment. I am sorry I have to attend a meeting with my staff now. Will you be able to come back tomorow? I can have the estimate done by then."

I'll see you tomorrow! /She stands and walks out.\ Bye!

(He decides that for today enough is enough. He makes a small bet with himself and leaves the office. He decides to head to the Evensong as an antidote for all the paperwork.)

(He came to shsi office and shook his head. Yes, two whole inches more paperwork than the previous morning.
He called his secretary in, and asked her to take the entire pile and sort it accorfing to the responsibilities of the senior staff. He excused her from other duty until this was done.
He left her sorting the papers and went out.)

(He arrivedd in his office and greeted his secretary, Meldira de Syntrinay, who was just putting the finishing touches to the sorting.)
"Lord Brightshield. They are ready, sir. I took the liberty of including all the new business that came in over the day. I also kept back anything that involved more than one of the team, or which involved major decisions, my Lord."
"Thank you Miss de Syntrinay. And very well done. I should have asked you to do that."
(He reviewed the piles, chuckling at some of the items. He was satisfied by the sample that she had been consistent in her sorting. then called Miss de Syntrinay back.)
"Yhank you again, Miss de Syntrinay. Now, lets draft a little note.
'Dear Inseert name here The attached pile of papers are administrative matters that seem to fall within your areas of competennce.
Please see to it that these matters are dealt with and a summary of the actions taken submitted for my review. I will expect the summary to be with me in three days, and thereafter twice weekly.
We will also ned to set parameters for those things that do need to be reviewed by myself before action. Please liaise with my Office over suitable times for such a review, to be held in the next two weeks.
Yours sincerely'
Have that written up four times, one for each of the senior staff."
(She bowed and went out, and he took the first of the more complex cases to review.)

(His secretary brought the letters in for his signature and he signed them, and handed hem back along with a sheet carrying four or five wuestions.)
"Please get the Bursar to answer those questions for me. Thank you."
(As the bundles were wrapped up and shipped out he sank into thought.)
