The three of them spent a while together and then,
true to tradition, met their new mentors and classmates, who would become as close to them as their own parents and siblings. Terrai was a prosperous clan and had many grades of a'ehra, and after some months of allowing Leucan's hair to grow, they determined her of high quality, and she was sent with the other high-grade a'ehra daughters and sons, for proper treatment and training.
Aucomis was something else. He was sent to be with the clan leaders, to be with other ohrkha, his parents assumed, proudly. After the sending-away ceremony they never saw him in public; but they were given access to the Centra itself, during delegated visiting hours, and oftentimes Boula would tag along with her parents, to see how her brother was doing. Back when the three of them were younger and his hair was still short and of irregular growing periods, they were able to see him most of the time; but now when they went he was usually not there, and their visits turned from daily to weekly to monthly to quarterly.
For Boula, of course, there was not much. She tried apprenticing with the personal assistants and weavers, as her father and mother were respectively, but she found no love for it; and so finally her parents suggested schooling.
