Summary
“Oh, ah. Hallo.”
Essek startles so badly he drops his levitation. He whips around, a hand thrown reflexively out to defend himself, a spell ready on his lips. He has to blink. And blink again. But no, he is not imagining this. Here is Caleb Widogast in the flesh, standing in Jester and Fjord's sitting room.

[Or: Four times Dynasty fugitive Essek Thelyss sought refuge with Jester Lavorre, and one time he found Caleb Widogast instead.]
