In the end, Gallen told him to think it over and inform him on the day of the warding ceremony.
There was nothing to think over. Even if he wanted to, Elgin wouldn't allow it. Not even temporarily.

As far as he remembered, Felix was the head of the committee. That man only glared at him every step of the way and was the rule following man on the grounds.

Reis sighed as he walked out of the tower and into the adjacent office building.
Maeve and Nevan were right in the hallway. "Master Lestis! How are you doing?"
"Could have been better," he answered with a tired smile.
Maeve's smile fell once she saw him limping. "Oh my God, what happened? Don't tell me someone attacked you!?"
