CLOSED The Sorcerer's Apprentice #1 ~Roberta

[Bertie Moreland]

Picking up the ring with a nod of understanding, she smiled a little at this. The ring was very lovely, she thought to herself with a slight quiver in her hands. She could feel the power coming off of it...hastily picking up the Incantus to force her mind off the ring, Bertie smiled and bobbed a hasty curtsy.

"Then I shall hear from you soon?" she asked with a little tremble in her voice. "I look forward to the lessons ahead of me, sir. And I hope that I shan't disappoint you."

She was a naturally curious girl, and learning more was always welcome. And something like magic was just the sort of thing she would be able to learn without becoming bored with it.

"You will hear from me soon," Horvath confirmed. "I expect within the week- I do not believe it will take all that long to finish interviewing the other applicants. Take care, Miss Moreland."

The sorcerer rose to his feet. In a surprisingly gentlemanly fashion, he strode across the room and opened the study door himself to permit the girl to leave.

One apprentice down, and several to go. At least Roberta Moreland looked promising. He'd take care to cultivate her in a manner that would be most beneficial.

When the girl left, Horvath returned to his desk. Steepling his fingers, he turned his gaze to the flames dancing in the fireplace.

It was so nice to see the beginnings of a plan fall into place so neatly.
