The mages that had been held back by Onyx and Midnight when they had run through the tower to investigate the changes were full of energy as they witnessed Walker strolling down the floors and out the front entrance to the mage tower. They had been waiting to see if the high floors had the same changes and wanted to witness everything possible. They had more or less understood the changes that had occurred but needed to solidify what was going on in more detail. They had not known that runes could be used in such ways to such degrees. It was a major breakthrough just to know that this was possible.
As Onyx noticed that Alice and Walker were both a little focused on each other and red faced he understood what was going on. He knew that Alice had been waiting to get to a higher level of understanding to show off to Walker along with proof that she could stand beside him. It was a major part of her desires for the future and the entire walk down the tower she had been doing so.
