Clara and Tanek
Tanek blinked. "Anton Castle?" He had not expected that he would have to give an explanation. Among the students, the former residents of Anton Castle and their plights were pretty well-known, which was fortunate for Tanek, who did not like talking about it. However, simply by aligning himself with Sorin, Bayani and the others, it was obvious where he had come from. Even though he had arrived only a year later. Even though he would not be a part of the rescue mission Sorin etc. would mount.
"I'm part of them," Tanek tried to explain, "we were... we were locked up by people who didn't like witches or magic... or people like me. T-they..." Tanek's eyes darted around. "They hurt us."
