Aurora laughed. She found Gwen's question incredibly funny. It was amusing that anyone could think her roll as a professor was who she truly was. "I bite my tongue more than you could imagine. I do what I'm told. I listen to people I would rather hex. It's hell. But," she said and took another swing of her whiskey, "it pays well."
Aurora sat up and looked at Gwen. "Truth is I've been here so long that I'm starting to wonder if I could do anything different."
