Ranara and her little daughter Azabel move to Urtho's Tower when the latter can say six words ("up", "mama", "milk", "no", "now", and "please") and hasn't started to walk yet. Ranara sets up to teach little children to read, ones who don't have evident Gifts yet - Ranara herself has Mindspeech, is all, with about a classroom's worth of range. Azabel sits in on classes, worn on her mother's back or later plopped in a corner with toys or, when she's only four, plopped in a corner with a book, younger than the other kids in the class. When Azabel has in fact sat through her mother's curriculum she is turned somewhat loose, to walk very carefully up and down and around the Tower, exploring.

"Earlier there was an explosion of some kind and I wanted to see how the people who were caught in it were doing?"
"Me and my friend, yeah, I'm glad they're all okay. Can I talk to any of them? I want to know what it was that blew up."
"I hope you're feeling okay, or, like, as much as can be under the circumstances... I was wondering what the thing that exploded was?"
"Yeah. I hope you can figure out what the problem was and come up with a way it can work out."
Ma'ar isn't at their next weather magic class. He doesn't contact her with Mindspeech.
