Waver could see that he’d hit on something with the comment, it was both sad and unsurprising that she knew of such an experience so personally… Mage or not, people could be terrible to one another at the end of the day… It made trusting a bit difficult, and almost seem foolish at times.
Her question gets a small, tired nod. “I do. I am often called upon to assist with various cases involving other mages when something happens involving their work or a member of the family. Some families prefer to avoid drawing the attention of those from the policies department and to have things investigated by someone their family is allied with.” But that starts to slip into the politics of the clock tower and the more prominent families, which is a headache for him to explain… And oftentimes it was Reines throwing him at these cases as a means of paying off the El-Melloi family debt. So perhaps he was being a bit vague. “Other times I seem to just stumble into them, I admit.”
His damned fluctuating luck, honestly.
The professor offered a nod of agreement, it was a shame… Things could go so much further and perhaps end up less of a mess if people could just put a little effort into working together without planning to stab each other in the back in the end. Accepting a concept that was outside what one had been brought up to believe could be difficult for some, unfortunately. "All one can do is keep pressing forward, I'm afraid, and hope to make the case and to see people come around to the idea."
