<div class="floatright">(https://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b6/Brigh_Murphy.jpg)</div><br/>Brígh Murphy had returned to the safe and regular confines of work and home. Get up early in the morning. Her alarm clock and old ticking one would work in almost any condition. Put on glasses, head to the shower, take of glasses, take shower, brush teeth, put glasses back on, head to the bedroom, get dressed in whatever was clean, giving her housekeeper quite a chore there. Head down to the kitchen, pour orange juice on cereal and milk in glass and have breakfast while grading the drivel that the beginner students had put out.<br/><br/>Take a five minute walk toward the campus and teach a class on the basics of thaumaturgy, then head into the library to study. Have lunch when stomach rumbles, then go back to studying until the light goes bad. Attend outreach program and talk about magic.<br/><br/>Repeat the next day.<br/><br/><em>"Heaven"</em><br/><br/>Of course her delight at the delicious routines of every day had quickly come to an end when the director of MERL had summoned her to this place. Meeting Cassandra again was a puzzling surprise, and the violent hug was an invasion of privacy that made her tense up quite a bit.<em>"No, I didn't meant to. You just startled me."</em>her elloquent thoughts came out as in the flesh she just glanced at Cassandra, straight and tense.<br/><em><br/>"Tell her that it's good to see her."</em>she berated herself as she was ushered into her the small room with the knight,<em>"Tell her that to make an educated guess you at least need more data."</em><br/><br/>"No." she replied to the question as she glanced around.
