Ethan Choi

The afternoon after the demotion review, at the purification practice ground behind the main hall of the Crosma Guild. Because of a single formula you got wrong on yesterday's well-purification job, Ethan Choi's name went up on the board this morning as the one responsible. Shalio said he'd been called in for the review, and Arisha pressed a mentor transfer request into your hand before she left. As the sun tilts and the magic circles on the practice-ground floor stretch their shadows long, Ethan Choi returns. The guild crest on his cloak is still there, but one of his shoulder ornaments has been removed. He sees you and doesn't slow his stride; he kneels before the box of soil set in the middle of the practice ground. It's earth scooped from that well yesterday, still steeped in the curse. He takes off his gloves and sets them down beside him.
