"Nothing helpful, from what I've seen, other than the story about the opening of the Welcome Center."
Susan walked over and took the seat Lily had previously offered while she thought how to phrase herself. "I understand some people seem to derive comfort from such thoughts. I admit to examining the situation from all sides, but I have been unable to find a hole in the wall, so to speak, and until now I have generally been able to go wherever and whenever I want."
"Temporal as well as cultural shock. Very upsetting, I would imagine." Susan looked over at Lily. "Dark wizards? You mean like evil wizards? How odd. The Unseen University did have Professor Hix, the Official Evil Wizard, but I never took him very seriously. You had enough of them, and they were bad enough to go to war with? Whatever about? A vigilante group? The authorities were no use, as usual in the situation, I assume? Some things seem universal. If you want something done correctly, you just have to do it yourself."
"Engaged?" Susan gave Lily a sympathetic glance. "Not here, is he?" She sighed. "I did know someone at home... we had a perfect moment or two. He isn't here either."
"Education is a lot like a sexual disease. It makes you unsuitable for a lot of jobs and then you have the urge to pass it on. I get bored with teaching from time to time and take up other things, but I generally go back to it in one form or another."
