"She's up in the arboretum. Come right this way."
Tria leads the party up to the third floor of the manor house, down a long hallway and into a large open room that seems to be almost entirely filled with windows and flowers. The cost to heat the place must be staggering, unless some magic was involved in the construction.
Amongst the flowers, tending to some Orchids, Mistress Katrina looks up and smiles when she sees Julianna.
"Welcome! I'm so glad you have come." She quickly cleans some soil off of her hands and gives Julianna a fond embrace.
"Have the skills I tought you been of use in your travels little firebrand, or have you defied my expectations of you and found a life of peace? You look well, if a bit hard travelled."
She continues to inquire into Julianna's health, and discusses in return how she and the school have faired in Julianna's absence. It seems the school now has an even dozen students, and she has Tria run off to ensure that the kitchen will prepare sufficient food for her new guests.
"You shall have to show me the state of your skills, my dear, though surely after you have rested. Perhaps in the morning, you will visit the Salle?"
