Among the wizards and apprentices who were bidding farewell to Frozen Wing, Angor saw several faces he knew, such as Balba and Dave. But compared to them, Hobson's "panda suit" really stood out.
Hobson was frantically waving his short cane above his head to draw Angor's attention. And when he did, he kept repeating something using his lips since Angor couldn't hear his voice across the distance.
The toy! The toy!
Angor saw it and took out Hobson's "bear ragdoll" from his bracelet.
"Oh, what is that?" Madelyne also saw it and asked.
"I think it's just a common toy for a kid. My friend gave it to me. He said it's really dear to him."
"A memento of his, perhaps?"
Angor glanced at the pendant on the bear's neck and nodded. "Must be. It kept him accompanied for a long time."
