"Hey..." Vondelor poked his head out and asked urgently, "Is there really nothing we can do?"
"No!" Biluo Hua rolled her eyes at him. "Don't tell me you want me to force them apart?"
"No, we can't do that..." Vondelor shook his head. "Liadrin would probably hate us to death..."
"Ah!" As he spoke, the old Priest plopped down on the ground. "I'd been hoping this day would come sooner, but now that it's actually here, I'm finding it a little hard to accept!"
"You'll have to accept it whether you can or not!" Biluo Hua continued, "Overall, he's a pretty good choice. At least he's better than that one from the Thalorian family... what was his name again?"
Vondelor thought for a moment, then said, "I think it was Theroma?"
"Yes, yes, he's much better than that Theroma!" Biluo Hua declared.
"Huh!" Vondelor gave Biluo Hua a somewhat surprised look. "Didn't you dislike that boy even more than I did before? How come you've started speaking up for him in the blink of an eye?"
"Because he really is very good!" Biluo Hua sighed. "I'm even a little envious... why did he have to go to Dalaran and study under Antonidas?"
"Haha!" Vondelor suddenly burst out laughing. "Now I remember-you don't even have a student yet!"
The Grand Archmage gave her old friend an irritated look. "If you hadn't insisted on having Liadrin study the Holy Light under you, how would I have ended up without a student?"
After a pause, the Grand Archmage's expression grew serious. "Speaking of which, is Liadrin really going to Stratholme in Lordaeron for that baptism or whatever it is?"
"She's already made her decision!" Vondelor said, his face equally serious. "There's nothing I can do to stop her..."
"You're going to Stratholme?"
