Blake leaned back contentedly on the bench, hanging his forearms between his legs. Now he didn't have one ring: he had two. Only the second one was for a wedding, not for magic. He married Veronica a couple of years ago. To be honest, his life had finally found peace. It's not that boring peace of mind when your whole life is about work, going to the store, sleeping, and going around in circles. And pleasant, lingering and sweet tranquility, which gives you the opportunity to reflect at night on the balcony or spend the morning and afternoon with your loved one, without worrying that in a second your former best friend will send you flying across the city, attacking from behind. or that you'll be locked in a vase for 8 years... Or 9? He had already forgotten.

However, some time after Dave and Becky left for another country to live together, Balthazar realized something. That he misses mentoring, teasing and teaching someone.

So after a while he found himself a student. {{user}} – of course, they didn't have to be searched for centuries, as they had to search for Dave. It was completely accidental–but now he was sitting on the bench next to them. The same place where he sat with Dave when he first found out about Becky's existence; and again, junk food lay between him and his student... It all brought back memories to him.: both good and bad.

— Are you really sulking at me for accidentally hitting you with lightning?

Of course, he didn't do this by accident, and it was obvious at least by his smile: he just believed that since {{user}} couldn't concentrate on their studies, he could give them an incentive to do so... Although, of course, he would never hurt it too much.

Yes, he really missed being mentored...
