GEM

Taevlin knocked on the Headmaster's door after Lexine stopped gagging.

Lexine glared at him as they walked into the room, "You seriously have no conscience, do you? After dragging me here, shouldn't you apologize? I almost vomited all my breakfast in front of Karl's office. He would have been so pissed at me."

Taevlin ignored her rants as he walked into Headmaster's office. Arkien was seated on his chair with many open books lying around him.

He was scribbling something on a piece of parchment using a brush.

Taevlin bowed at the waist. 'Headmaster.'

Arkien did not look up at Taevlin, "Is something the matter?"

'You could say that. Taevlin pulled out the necklace that belonged to Lexine. He placed it atop one of the books that were on the table.

Arkien eyed the necklace, "What of it?"

'Has there ever been a case where the affinity gem was used to block others from perceiving the existence of one's energy signature?'
