He simply nodded, keeping his eyes on hers. Devaguea listened to her reply, before nodding. "Good response, and you responded to the situation radically shifting without warning well.<br/><br/>And no, you will not be required to demonstrate your combat abilities against the guard again. Lady Nyrissa, the position of apprentice is open to you, with an upgrade in the future to warmage. The current duties will be extensively training your control and capacity for magic, and assisting the advisors as magic support during crises."<br/><br/>He flipped the second page over, and removed the first two from the folder, before pushing it across to Nyrissa. "Here is your contract, please be sure to read the third paragraph especially, as enchantment spells have significant consequences if cast on people outside of combat or consent. Once you have sighed that, I will be free for a bit to escort you to your new room in the castle, answer questions, and then take you to meet the three advisors you will be working with the most."<br/><br/>The contract was fairly standard stuff, except for the paragraph specifically warning against frivolous use of spells, enchantments specifically, outside of certain situations. Magic had rightfully picked up a terrible reputation, and if he was going to turn that around with the common folks, then he was going to have to be firm with the magic users for a few decades. Which was why he made sure to explain that to the magic users he met; he had a plan going, and was going to be mightily upset with magic users upending the plan.<br/><br/>Once she had read and signed the one page contract, he added it to the small pile of papers, and went through the rest of the paperwork with her. Pay, supplies needed, extra accommodations for unusual abilities, does she have a familiar, answering questions like that and ensuring her room would be able to provide it. It wouldn't be extravagant, but it would be comfortable. Once that was done, he put the filled forms into the folder, closed it, handed it to one of the guards, who passed it to the guards outside to take to the advisors to look over, and then see that the newest attaché to the castle was ready for duties. Though right now, that meant training up her abilities before going out on combat missions with the Marshall, the Warden, and/or the General.<br/><br/>Now that the paperwork was done, he nodded to his two guards, before standing. "And if you will follow me, I will show you where your quarters are, and then introduce you to the people you will be working with the most. If you have questions, feel free to ask. You job for today and tomorrow will be to familiarize yourself with the castle, and get your quarters in order. Tomorrow one of the assistants about the castle will deliver your starting schedule."
