Elara held his gaze across the table. "Who else possesses the same motive?"
"That is not what I asked." Lucavion's quiet laughter faded as he straightened in his chair. "Was Gervase named during the review?"
"No."
"Did Student Affairs tell you there was only one petitioner, or allow you to see the original request?"
Elara's fingers remained against the covered formation plate. Each question removed something she had allowed the timing to supply. She had seen neither a name nor a formal petition. The officials had referred only to concerns raised regarding the consistency of the Caerlin records, and when Cedric pressed for their source, they had hidden behind administrative confidentiality.
"No," she admitted. "They revealed neither."
