"Y-yes. He should be on one of the other levels of the tree."

She squeezed his hand. "Lead the way."
He nodded again pulled her along with him. He headed up the stairs to where his teacher typically was when he wasn't in the library. He gently knocked on the door frame before stepping in.
"Hello, sir? Um... Do you mind if I.. uh.. we ask you some questions?" His teacher looked up from his work. He looked between Maeva and Roger.
"Sure. What is the issue? Is there something wrong with one of your books?"

Maeva offered him a polite smile. "Actually, we'd like to talk about something else. Can we sit down?"
The man nodded. "Yes. Sure." Roger moved and sat down in one of the chairs and patted the spot next to him for Maeva to sit.
"So you know how my biological father is a demon?"
"Yes. That's why magic comes natural to you. Why do you ask?"
"He's been... Appearing in my dreams." His teacher looked at him.
"To what extent?" He asked cautiously, facing the two of them.

"It started yesterday, right?" Maeva asked, looking at Roger.
"Yes. The dreams started yesterday but there's been... Errant thoughts in my mind for a couple of weeks now actually." He glanced at Maeva. "I should have said something earlier."
"What happens in these dreams?"
"He comes always to make a deal. To get me to join him. I obviously don't want to do that. I want a way to make it stop." His teacher rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
"Ah. There is an amulet I can give you. It will block out his influence but it is not a perfect fix. If you take it off, he will only have more influence over you."

Maeva frowned. "...That sounds risky," she said softly.
Roger bit his lip. He was just desperate enough to try. "Okay. Is there anything else I can do?"
"Never sleep?" Roger made a face which made it clear that he didn't want that to be the answer. "In all seriousness, this is a major issue. We can't have demons trying to get into the minds of one of our most skilled mages. Even if he is still training. You will have to be careful, Roger. Don't even talk to him if he manages to slip through. Your father is powerful and is not to be trifled with."

Maeva held his hand tightly. She did not like this amulet idea, but Roger seemed down for it. The level of worry in the man's voice masse her uncomfortable.
"...We think he might stay targeting somebody else too," she eventually said softly.
