Aidan nodded his head. "I know much about the arcane from my studies, but my ability to control it is still fairly limited. Have you ever wondered why so many wizards are grey-haired old men with bears that reach their bellies? Become a powerful wielder of magic takes much longer than becoming a trained warrior, and I'm still very young. So no casting fireballs or invisibility for me yet, sadly."

He looked up at the maid as she returned, flashing another smile. "Thank you, Helga. I'm fine right now with just the company of my lovely lady." he said. The maid giggled before she left and Aidan tended to his meal. He looked back up at Lyn while he ate, swallowing a spoonful down before speaking.

"Still, what I can use is very useful. Oftentimes it's the most simple of abilities that can have the greatest utility, like being able to recolour something or heat something without creating flame."
