Jean placed the book on her worktable and retrieved her note-taking book and pencil. One thing Jean learned about Marie, especially after her Big Sis' advancement, was that the girl never did anything casually. Every word and action had a meaning and purpose, even if it was seemingly said or done in passing.

For instance, Marie once gave her a single copper coin saying that, "she found it lying around; it's of no use to me, maybe it may come into use for you." That very same day, Jean was purchasing some alchemical ingredients from the travelling merchant when she found that she was short exactly one copper coin.
