[ Hold onto that thought, Popp, Avan needs to take a closer look at your Insignia. Yeah, that's... that's actually real mysticite, alright. And mysticite pendants certainly would make sense to give as a graduation gift if he were to ever take on non-cooking students.... But it's hard to imagine ever doing that. A lot of things would have to change in his life before that would be feasible.

And yet, how else could Popp have such a thing? As impossible as it may seem, the only possible explanation seems to be that whatever summoned them here disturbed the flow of time in the process. ]

Mr. Popp, instead of wondering about my hair, you should probably look more at that magic circle that we appeared in. I didn't recognize it, but maybe a learned mage like you will know more about it.
