#i should also add that eadwulf and purvan definitely fuck at some point while bonding over the lack of respect for their matron

I think it’d be incredible to see the C2 wizards visit Avalir.  Ultimate destination couple’s trip for Caleb and Essek, they’d get so much research done and maybe even take a break long enough to stroll around the city, taking in the sights and having nerdy debates about the magic behind everything.  The Hall of Eyes recruits Veth almost instantly, and when she isn’t testing out their reflexes with random crossbow bolts, she’s having the time of her life crafting bigger and bigger Fluffernutters.

Astrid and Eadwulf rediscover the joy of magic, not just as power or as a tool but as something to explore and experiment and have fun with.  Ikithon's plans for a “subtle” takeover are foiled at every turn because there are at least a dozen archmages of his calibre in the city and all of them have better networking skills, which is what you really need to distinguish yourself when you’re not the only one with 9th level spells anymore. On the other hand, Allura puts on a sundress (blue, of course) and has the most relaxed vacation of her life, where she doesn’t have to be the expert archmage in the room all the time, she can just chill and enjoy herself. 

Yussa gets lost in the Meridian Labyrinth while investigating the arcane machinery.  When they finally rescue him, he just gets handed a piece of parchment and some ink so that he can draw a map as he goes next time.
