Casper Godfried & Angus Constantia Honor

Casper is a repentant thief trying to live an honest farmer's life, not realizing that it takes more than an instructional pamphlet to run a farm. He's turned back to stealing, just the bare minimum, just to get by, until he gets a hang of this 'getting up at sunrise to milk the cow' thing. Actually, he'll give the sunrise thing a go first, then ease into the cow. Baby steps.

Angus is an overeager but undeniably skilled healer-in-training. Sent away from the College by annoyed instructors, he's searching for a discreet medicine school that doesn't exist, in a discreet village that doesn't exist. (The College confirmed their lack of existence before sending him to their care for extended traning.) Angus can't pass by someone who could benefit from his medical expertise, and is driven mad by their evident lack of it.
