Mina and Jakin leave by the same magic Ylva used to come. They wave and disappear in a shower of stars. Ylva grins at Magistra Colle. "That was much more fun than the writing practice," she says. "Yes, the baby books were a good idea." Colle looks thoughtful. "You go on and get your room ready," she says, pointing Ylva to the corridor leading to the dormitories. "I need to check something with Magister Inric." And she turns away, so Ylva can't see her expression.
