66 Like a Storm (1/2)

”What problem?” Jaime asked with apparent confusion in her eyes.

”Well, you need a legal guardian if you want to study abroad.” Lyra voiced her concern about the matter. It was a fact that they did not know anything about the girl that was sitting in front of them. From her words it seemed that she did not anyone to rely on otherwise why would she be even here in the first place.

”I don't really think that's a problem though. Depending on her grades the government could make an exception and send her either way. Then again she might need a reference from the school so isn't it better for her to talk with them first?” Linri added his two cents to the conversation.

The fact that she might need a legal guardian was a problem but he could probably name 10 different characters that could forge false documents so it shouldn't be that big a deal.

Lyra looked towards her son with curious eyes. She was wondering why he wanted to bring Jaime with him. If he really knew what kind of a school Autumnfall was why should he put her in danger. It was obvious that he did not know anything about the 'Sword Maiden' but he seemed confident that she could make it there. She felt like there was something she did not know and that bothered her.

”I guess you are right but that still depends on her grades. Jaime dear, what do you think? Can your grades be up to the task?” Despite her concerns, she decided to keep them to herself. She did not want to be one of those helicopter parents that were constantly on their child's case. As long as he was fine that was enough, also what kind of a teenager did not keep a secret or two from their parents.

”Yes! I mean they should be enough.” Jaime said while enthusiastically nodding her head.

”Then that's that, we should eat the dinner before it gets cold.” Arkady declared the end of this conversation.

After dinner Linri went upstairs as always Jaime stayed back there to help his mom. It seemed like they were going to talk about things. With nothing better to do, he decided to message Silfy. He had kept his promise to her and stayed in touch. They usually talked about random stuff so it was also relaxing.

After chatting for some time he heard a knock on his door. Before he even said 'come in' Jaime just barged into his room. For a minute that he thought if this was his home or hers.

”I talked with your mom and she gave me a number. She said it was someone who was working at Autumnfall and her old friend.”

”So?” Linri looked at her like he was asking what was her point.

”Who is it?” Upon this question, Linri just rolled his eyes at her. Did she think that he was a walking encyclopaedia or something?
