"Kulus, did you say we have no Poison Ward Pill for him?"
Mel, who had found a new source of amusement, severed his connection with Kulus and was dealing with the Blessings warring within him when the voice rising a step behind him caused him to turn back toward the mine's entrance. The one who interrupted the joy Kulus experienced while distributing the pills to the other disciples had spoken once more, but this time, Kulus's nostrils flared to their limits.
"Academy Overseer Itır instructed us to requisition only as many Poison Ward Pills as the number of individuals we are responsible for. This is all I am permitted to requisition; if you wish, you may relinquish one of the pills allotted to the ward under your own supervision."
