"I love being a guest at your place, Grandmaster Bennett!"
Wizard Hutton was drinking some grandmaster's wine while stuffing food in his mouth. He was about one of the few law-defying wizards that actually visited Abel now. Being a Grandmaster meant that even the law-defying wizards had to be careful when they tried to waste his time. This was especially the case after the Wizard Union granted him the honorary elder badge. Wizard Hutton was not that much of an exception, actually. He would've had to put himself in line if he wasn't just visiting Abel. All the stuff he was eating and drinking now would have not been available for several months if he didn't have something to visit Abel for.
Abel smiled, "How's Bernie lately?"
Wizard Hutton liked his student a lot, "He's close to reaching rank five. He's got a lot of supplements, so I think the process will be pretty fast."
