The lecture hall was bustling with activity.
Kailen's eyes scanned the large hall full of students from different races cordially engaged in chatter with one another.
"Hey, did you hear about the news of Enna Harker?"
"Yeah, it really sucks. The academy is not safe anymore."
"Doesn't really get to me as much as the death of the saintly councillor, Vesper Locke. He was such a gentleman."
"Yeah, bummer. Heard Kailen Darkhaven has something to do with it."
"Seriously, are you guys nuts? Do you think Kailen Darkhaven is strong enough to kill Vesper Locke?"
"That Kailen Darkhaven, I was starting to like him but, if he really killed Vesper Locke then he's a real piece of shit."
"Hey, language, you swore you won't curse anymore!"
"Tells you how sad I am about Vesper's death, girl."
