And just like that, Mistblade moved in.
Lightchaser's house wasn't that big, but squeezing in another cub was still manageable.
She even got Mistblade a job—right across from the Burrowbug Tavern. The hours were longer than Rita's, though. Rita would finish work and head to Garbage Street for her daily two-hour lesson, and by the time she got home, Mistblade would just be getting off.
Sometimes they went to the library together. Other times, they wandered around Asaein.
Mistblade had already received her tuition and living stipend from Lightchaser in advance—3,000 gold just for the first semester.
After learning that Rita had lessons with Lightchaser every day, she asked,
"Can I talk to Lightchaser? Ask her if I can tag along and learn something too?"
Rita was genuinely surprised.
"Of course you can. You don't need my permission for that."
