A one-legged seer with a brand new wooden prosthetic limps into the Bar. And almost falls flat on his face as he suddenly loses depth perception.

"What the--?!" Dominic staggers and grabs onto the nearest chair for support. With his free hand, he fingers the eyepatch that appeared on his face without warning. It doesn't seem inclined to come off.

"You have got to be kidding me."

"It's an area of my world where magic works unpredictably," explains Dominic. "Legend has it that there was a mighty wizards' battle there once upon a time, and the spell remnants are still boiling around to this day..."

"Wow. I've seen places at home where the remnants of magic were able to do incredible things, but I've never seen one where it caused magic to become unpredictable."

She would be interested in seeing such a place as a result.

"It's home to all sorts of strange creatures that were mutated by the ambient magics. We're going to be taking a tour on our cruise..."

"A cruise?"

"Oh, didn't I tell you?" says Dominic, brightening considerably. "Luna and I are going on an airship cruise starting next week. We'll be going all over the world and taking in the sights!"

"How wonderful! I didn't know there were such trips!"

"My former students raised the money and booked tickets for us," says Dominic with a smile.

She smiles back.

"Now that means so much more. The Guild has its functions, but to know that the students care to do that shows how much you've touched them."

And even after all of that inquiry stuff, she'd likely still offer Dominic a job if he was interested.

Dominic just nods.

He may have lost his job, but knowing that he made that much of an impact on his class... it makes everything worthwhile.
