Owen

Half my eyebrows are gone. But the formula checked out, so I'm calling today a win.

• TessaOwen, that smell reached the dorm hallway!!
  OwenThat's the smell of success.
  The LibrarianIf it reaches the archive, that's not success. That's expulsion.
• The Swordsmanship InstructorEyebrows grow back. Fingers don't.

Everyone looks up under the top student's banner. I count coins on the fountain floor instead. Twelve more this year alone.

• The LibrarianYou could just use those coins to pay off your late fees.
  OwenThey're not mine, though.
  The LibrarianNeither are your late fees, apparently.
• Lady LiliaOnly two kinds of people don't look up at the banner. Those who don't care, and those who already have one.
  OwenI'm the first kind.
  LeonhardtThe second kind looks every day. It is a seat one can fall from.
