Story: Middle Part 11
[[Continuity Note: I decided that descriptions would probably be more useful than anything else.
Alf just went to a council meeting then decided to go to sleep. Meanwhile the parents discuss his future. We pick up the next morning.]]
The next day Alf discovered that he was going to be starting training sessions with one of the Aldus family members. As head of the family, Mr Aldus was too busy tending to things. When Alf asked what sort of things, Mr Aldus had said: Family things. Alf had put "What does Mr Aldus actually do?" amongst the other thoughts to be thought later.
It turned out that Jessica's aunt who lived in the house was actually the one who usually taught kids about their magical powers. They thought it would be a bit mean to put him in with another pair of nieces who were currently having lessons (Jessica had graduated from her lessons about a year earlier), so Alf would be having private lessons from Aliana (who he conceded to not calling Mrs Aldus because it would confuse him with Karen who was in his mind the Mrs Aldus, and because at twenty-nine, she wasn't really that old yet).
He met Aliana the next Tuesday, when Alf would be regularly having lessons from now on. She was, well, Alf would describe her as a gypsy, but as she was not known to roam at all beyond the boundaries of the Aldus land. It was something of a legend, how long she'd lived in the house, though Mr Aldus would state that she was his baby sister.
[[I so wanted to do more tonight... ugh. This has taken first priority over studying, that is so wrong... Now I remember why I wrote barely anything the first two days, I was still in study mode... and now I'm not. Now I just want them over.]]
