On the seventh day of the second month in the third turn, Auree does some work, of a sort, in the Craft Hall. Being a crafter, she has every right to be there. Reyce, who is not a crafter but would like some quiet study space, does not approve or her antics. These two are clearly on their way to a fine and lasting friendship.

On the fourth day in the first month of the third turn, very late at night, Auree arrives at Caucus. She meets Reyce, Ronan and Neiran, and has a brief reunion with her childhood friend Jarvais. Sadly, Laelle departs before Auree arrives. All of this happens in the Caucus Barracks. Everyone should probably be asleep.
