Before the Ceremony: Blake & Andrei & OPEN
Blake shrugged and nodded. Why not? Andrei wasn't that far off. He'd let the guess at his age stand. Besides, sometimes being thought of as too old or too frail to keep up with dragons came with its fair share of advantages.

"No, and no again." Blake sniffed. "I'm here to teach. That's it. Any other questions? Or don't you have other people to catch up with around here, Mr. Dantură?"
