The day before Harry was due to leave on his Internship, Jerome dropped by the Herald-Mage's room.
"Why are you packing your whole room?" Jerome questions
"I'm not packing my whole room just what I'm gonna need." Harry answered
Jerome went over and unpacked all of Harry's already budging bags. "My counselor made me repack ten times. Because I kept on packing the things, I thought I would need."
"What do you mean it's just a set of clothes and my travel blanket from Rina." Harry replies
"Great Gods." Jerome groaned, "You don't need anything but White, you're on duty out in the field, and you're not going for a month, you're going for a year and a half." The older Herald went around Harry's room grabbing useful things, "You have any Ferris-oil?"
"Yeah in the side board, I was going to grab it next." Harry answers
Corina entered the room, "Jerome packing for you?"
"I thought I was doing a good job of it but Jerome thinks otherwise." Harry answers
Corina went up and started folding the things that Jerome threw at her, she rattled off a list of items that wasn't in the pile.
Jerome stopped and stared blankly at Corina, "How do you know what to pack?"
"Oh come on, I'm not that helpless" Harry groaned out.
"Did you draw your stipend?" Jerome and Corina asked
Harry smacked himself in the head and turn to leave " Be right back."
While harry was gone, Corina and Jerome finished packing for Harry.
"You haven't left on your internship but you know what to pack, I want to know why?" Jerome questions
Corina shrugged "I have older friends too. Talia helped me. I am serving her old internship route as well."
Harry returns with a small pouch that jiggled with coins. Harry saw his bags packed and his equipment stacked by his door. "You guys are too much what would I do without your help. " he grinned at the two.
"Repacking twenty times." Jerome answers.
Harry chuckled and shook his head "Maybe not that much but probably right."
Jerome shrugged, "Come let's go to my room." the older Herald gave Corina a conspiratorial wink.
The other two nodded as Harry placed the pouch in a safe place.
Jerome leads the younger Heralds to another part of Herald's Wing, and made Harry go in first. Harry opened the door not knowing what's going to happen.
Waiting on Jerome, Harry and Corina were Lyra, Kris, and a few others but the one massive guest surprised Harry, it was Jervan.
"Lytha sends her rrregarrrrds, but she is courrrrting a male." Jervan apologizes on behalf of his sister.
"Its ok, I'm glad you were able to make it." Harry responds
"I wasss on the way, to inform Motherrrr and Fatherrrr." Jervan commented, "Jerrro, told me of yourrr new rrrrank, I wouldn't misss saying goodbye."
The farewell party lasted just enough into the night to send Harry off to bed with cheered spirit and a showing of support that he was ready to take on the challenge of being a real Herald. Corina walked Harry back to his room.
Harry gave Corina a good night kiss as he went in to his room to get some rest before he meets his counselor.
The next morning, Harry woke up bright and early, and got dressed in his unfamiliar traveling leathers, a sharp knock at the door signaled someone there. He opened the door saw greet the person at the doorway.
A man in a guardsmen blue uniform explained that he was there to help carry Harry's baggage.
Together the guard and Harry got his two packs down in one trip, and went down to the companion stable and tack shed.
Harry gave his thanks to the guard and got Morgan ready for their long trip.
"You must be Harry," a Herald states, his voice was a heavily accented Karsite, "I am Herald Efrain"
