Once his shift ends people are paid and herd back into the vans.

-he's briefly confused by being paid, has to remind himself that this is different here, and makes himself accept it. Being herded back into the van is easier, he knows how to follow instructions.

Feliaris finds him when they are back.

"Hi! Parafi, how was your day?"

"I- it was- good? To be busy?"

He nods and grins. "What are you planning to do for the evening?"

"I, uh, hadn't really...thought about it." (He'd never had to before.)

"More library?" He offers. "You can use the rest of the facilities if you want to."

"I like the library," he says with a small smile and a slight shrug.

Feliaris grins. "Then you can spend as much time as you want there."

He smiles. "I'm- grateful for that. I am."

"Good, it means we are doing something right."

Parafi looks down, smiles a little shyly. "I think you're doing a lot of things right?"

"Aw, thanks, friend."

He's quiet for a moment, and then his smile broadens a little. He's sure that it's just a turn of phrase, but he's never had a friend before, and he finds he likes the idea.

"You're welcome?" (That's what you say, right?)

"Thank you. Do you want to learn more sorcery?"

-That is probably a silly question, based on the way Parafi's face lights up.

He noticeably makes it dim some. "I- please? If that's- okay?"

"Of course, I like sorcery too."

"I like...learning." It's a careful admittance, a little wary, a little hesitant, but it's something.

In that case Feliaris will pull out some of his old notes for Parafi to take a look at.

And Parafi is eager to look at it! His hesitation vanishing once he starts reading over it.

The notes are intuitively organized and this set mainly focus/dissects two rituals: an alarm spell and an air quality spells. The notes details how they work and their elements in common and how to design a third ritual combining them.

Parafi is utterly enthralled, and completely engrossed in the material.

Parafi is a great student and Feliaris tells him so.

He's shy in the face of praise, but it does seem to encourage him to work harder.

"Do you think you would like to be a professional sorcerer?"
