While Kenner ran from the Silver House to the portal she tried not to think, because she didn't want to, but it was hard. She had so many questions about what had just happened. They’d never gone through a situation like it in training and that made her wonder how Amber had known that breaking a window would disperse the darkness. That thought then led to Kenner asking herself why it was so easy to disperse the darkness. It wasn't something she knew anything about, but there had to be a simple reason why breaking a window would disperse a spelled darkness. Arrogance could easily be part of it or the magicians not knowing that someone outside of their group knew that it was possible, but that didn't feel right.

Applying for a transfer hadn't worked. Jaya hated Amber and yet didn't want to let her go. It didn't make any sense at all. For the last six months she'd just got easy jobs the newbies could have done, even if they didn't have any experience. She'd thought far more seriously than she’d believed possible about retraining as a scout, but it didn't have the same appeal. All she'd ever wanted to be was a thief. That was what her father had been. Her mother didn't want her to follow in her father's footsteps, because he had died during one raid. They'd last seen each other the day Amber started training to be a thief. Sighing, she left her room, knowing she couldn't put it off any longer. When she got to the jobs board no one else was there. There was less embarrassment if she was alone, even though she knew everyone already knew what job she had. At first she avoided looking at her name. Instead she checked on what jobs the newbies had. She couldn't help worrying about Kenner when she saw that the new girl had been assigned a job that only an experienced thief should have, a thief like Amber. Finally she looked at her name.

As the last of the shifters stepped through the door Tybalt breathed a sigh of relief. He hadn’t been certain that six hours would be enough time, but it had and he turned to smile at Alena. “Your turn,” he said, reaching out to squeeze her shoulder. “Alder’s on the other side. He went through as soon as Willow opened the door to begin setting up the tents that we’ll all be living in to begin with, until they have a chat with the Prime Minister and let him know what’s happening, when we’ll hopefully be able to start working something more permanent out.”

Jackson stepped through the wards. He’d known where the school was for a while, but he wasn’t sure that he wanted to be a thief, because it had been the job that had taken both his parents away from him. By choosing to remain thieves, rather than raise their three children, they’d caused damage that could never be repaired, and he was glad they’d have been moved onto other jobs, so he wouldn’t have to deal with them. As far as he was concerned the only parent he wanted was the woman who had raised him, his aunt, his father’s sister, who had also once been a thief. She, however, had decided to walk away when she became a mother, accidentally, and then took on the unwanted children of her brother’s lover. Other children in his position had ended up in orphanages with no idea why they were abandoned, which was something he sometimes thought might be better.

Finding the school had been an accident. Until that happened Max knew nothing about the thieves or the magicians, although that might have changed even if he hadn’t found the school because he was male and obviously had magic as he’d managed to break through the wards surrounding the building without even trying. A part of him wished he never had, but if he hadn’t he wouldn’t have met some of the wonderful people he’d become friends with, which, often, was enough to make him push his concerns aside. The rest of the time… he had difficulties with the reason they were trying to steal from the thieves, the same way Orla did, and if the two of them had been together they would still be trying to hunt for the real reason. He knew, thanks to a couple of the books they’d manage to grab, that whoever was running everything behind the scenes was keeping things from them.
