Between classes, lectures and sometimes taking the lunch away from her friends to spend time with her 'boyfriend' Therius. One easily knew of the fact that Lee was a busy person.
They didn't know though that she actually went out to the forest to check on the dragon's eggs, as requested by Marlowe the other day.
But somehow, between all of those responsibilities and duties she was doing, her reputation in the Mage Academy stood far better than when she was in St. Catherine's. Maybe it was because she managed to finally feel comfortable with her classmates and gained friends.
Emma thought about it every now and then and soon arrived at Marlowe's hut again in the forest. She came here to fulfill the Beast Master's order.
So, Marlowe had asked for the payment for him saving Aeron to be made in cash. And by that, he meant literally.
It was actually so much easier to transfer money to one's account, but the Beast Master had insisted on actual money.
