Nyra Bhatt's Links
Nyra is so used to being the smartest person in the room, able to fool anyone and everyone so Ndulue calling her out so succinctly and pointedly like he knows everything about her throws her off balance. She can't even really get a read on him which is unusual for her. But they talk and she's put at ease by his nonchalant positive demeanor that she can't help but spill everything. She doesn't mind when he comes by to tutor her or check on her studies, she kind of enjoys having a (sort of) friend to talk to openly.
He notices everything in the Distortion Realm court. He knows when somebody is sneaking around or hiding things and Nyra isn't the most subtle about it. Well, certainly she is subtle, but not to somebody with his experience. After they talk about her intentions to study here and he deems her not a threat, he decides to pop in and tutor her, mold her morals while she's treated them like an afterthought to her studies.
Nyra has read about the Queen of Distortion, a fierce warrior and expert witch who blurs the lines between real and illusion so seamlessly it breaks minds. Nyra has something of a Hero crush on Jihan. She jumped at the first opportunity to study her, and even though she has yet to see the Queen, her kingdom is just as impressive and fills Nyra's attention just fine.
Nyra's existence isn't really on Jihan's radar. Of course she has a vague awareness of everybody in her realm, and she approved some paperwork for a study abroad to live here and study under her magician's court, but that's the extent to the personal knowledge Jihan has of this student. Jihan has more pressing and important things to focus on, and if Nyra was truly a threat, one of her little birdies would tell her so.
