Oops.

Oh boy. Oh boy oh boy oh boy.
 
Oops.
 
So I may have gotten in a little trouble.
 
Okay, from the beginning: I came home (that sounds weird 'home') and Eleonora was in the study so we spoke for a while. She told me she only recently found out she can preform magic, and that nobody knows except us. I'm not jealous. Not jealous at all that I've had to dedicate my entire life to something I simultaneously love and despise and it just pops into existence for her easy as pie. Not jealous at all that I've spent days upon years studying, preformed dozens of draining tests, and quite literally had to devote my life to the study of the arcane. Nope, not jealous at all.
 
I told her we can go tell her mom via my message spell (which she can't do, so, +1 for studying) that she's safe so we go to her mother's house. Nice home. She’s not in it. But eventually we bumped into Ranier, who told us Celrin was arrested by one of the barons. Of course. We decide to break her out. Why? Because I’m an idiot.
 
So somebody got us to the island, Ranier popped off to find Celrin and Eleonora and I tried to create a diversion. I did get to use that Disguise Self I learned last year, and that was fun at first. Reminded me of the stuff I used to do with Rhea. I was Eleonora’s mom this time. It worked at first, for the guards anyway. The Baron knew right away I think. Here’s the clincher, we saw Celrin breaking out on her own while we were being led up to the Baron. Fucking figures right? So we’re caught, my disguise drops, and have to fight our way out. Luckily Sleep came in handy so I didn’t have to kill anyone (+2 for studying). We all made it out, but the guards did see my face. All of our faces….if this ruins my chance to study at the Institute I swear to the Gods…wait, why do I still care about that? The library, yeah. Cool library. That’s it.
