"Then may your path be easy. You have a scholar's permit?"
"I thought nobody did that any more?"
"It might help. Just in case..." she sighs. "Speaking of which... you know we asked your uncle about it, long ago. He said there was nothing recorded."
"He's a traitor!" Anvar snaps.
"That is not true, Anvar, and you should be careful with that word."
"But we can't even say his name -"
"That was at great-grandmother's request. He has not been struck from the family records. But my point was, he may have been telling the truth. You must be prepared to find nothing."
