Salazar decides to humour Rowena and keep listening as this conversation was infinitely better than engaging with anyone from the Wizard’s Council.

As Rowena confided in Salazar, she produced a twig with a silvery strand of hair wrapped around the length of it. Unicorn hair - ‘how fitting for her innocence’ Salazar found himself thinking.

Still in shock from hearing that the twig and hair works as a wand Salazar asks, some what bluntly, 

Amused by her reasoning Salazar couldn’t keep a straight face. Determined to show him that she should be taken seriously Rowena continued.

Again the child surprised Salazar and before he knew it he found he was offering advice.

Salazar: May I?

Salazar holds out his hand asking for Rowena’s “wand”. Rowena didn’t want to hand it over but her desire to learn overrides her suspicion and she allows Salazar to take the twig and hair.

There’s a loud crash as a stack of plates clatter to the floor. Salazar quickly hands the wand back to Rowena. 

Salazar: Here,  you can have this back!

Rowena was already too busy practising to hear the compliment from Salazar. 

From somewhere across the room a disembodied voice starts calling “Rowena!” 

Salazar shudders at hearing Rowena say his name.

The first meeting!
