Rudy) is alive.
Alas, Rudy said he would teach him, and so he tries to do so.
But Zanoba proves hopeless, both at forging figures the magical way and by carving clay with a knife.
Fitz also manages to get Rudy to invite him, which makes him very happy.
The thing is, Rudy isnt sure this girl wants to be bought.
He isnt even sure she wants to live.
He quietly asks her if she wants to die, and even considers putting her out of her misery.
When the girl manages to utter that she doesnt want to die, thats enough for Rudy.
Wanting to live can come later.
They buy her, and immediately set to work feeding and training her.
