Biochem, [is a gentle repeat for a word she doesn't understand while her hand is in motion.
The papers, the endless sea of papers, paint a picture of such convolution that there is virtually no way that it hasn't been engineered on purpose. It is an endless series of recursive references where document a requires document b and document b requires both c and a, and all of them noted with some fee or taxation of approval writ. Maybe all property in Kirkwall is so difficult to manage; the city is certainly limited in the directions it might expand. But here and there, freckled in the documentation, are notes referencing certain irregularities with respect to lines of inheritance.

It would depend on my specialization. At some point between two and four years, every apprentice appears before the College board and their Talent is evaluated, at which point they are referred away from their original Master—who is meant to be something of a generalist—to an educator practicing in their required field. And then in five more years, I would have taken a second series of qualification exams and begun a compulsory two year service for the government. From there, I might either have signed a contract extension or simply obtained my licenses and gone to do whatever I pleased.
