After a while, Nazhun's voice hollered from up the staircase: "Elena, it is time. Come up to the laboratory."<br/><br/>[Elena leaves towards the Wizard Tower (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=94373#msg4197570)]<br/><br/><hr/><br/>John shook his head. He wasn't up for a discussion of this type with little brats like her. Remaining silent now, he continued to run forward, headed for the tower, pulling the apprentice along with him, his gauntlet still wrapped around her hand. Best get this baby sitting mission over with as soon as he could manage, so he could return his focus on more serious matters, like capturing those creatures that were moving around town.<br/><br/>The veteran felt relieved as they made it to the tower. Mark was still waiting in front of the door, and waved at his colleague. "Drackson ordered me to keep guard, and only allow the apprentices to enter." the younger soldier explained, as the two arrived within conversation distance. "I have no idea what's going on, but it seems to be important."<br/><br/>Releasing the apprentice's hand, John patted Mark on the shoulder. "Good job, kiddo." he praised the guardsman. "Keep at it. I'll see how the hunt is going." And with that, the balding soldier tossed one last not very amused glance at the apprentice, turned around, and ran down the road.
