Aaron listened attentively as Salem said his piece, finding himself quite interested in the answer as well. He ran a free, non-profit clinic; as Lady Sinnenodel (well, her mage) had said, it was a commendable ambition. He remembered Salem mentioning something about being a medic and coming from a family of plant mages. But he had also mentioned difficulty controlling his magic; only three years out of his Awakening and with that sort of skill gap, and he was offering magic services for free? The dots in Aaron’s head weren’t quite connecting, and he made a mental note to inquire in more detail the next time they spoke. If Salem would even speak to him after tonight, anyway. Aaron had no way of knowing if Salem would be so spiteful, but his mind ran away with the worry all the same. 

He caught Varis’ look out of the corner of his eye, but there was no time to consider it before he was speaking to Salem, and Lady Sinnenodel’s mage was looking at him again. Her gaze alone - or lack thereof - was enough to make him squirm under his skin; despite the blindfold, it was like she was looking right through him. He could [i]feel[/i] her eyes on him. Or, at least, [i]someone’s[/i] eyes on him. 

In the short moment he took to consider his response, Aaron paid no mind to the place settings whizzing around the table. It was so familiar a sight that he rarely noticed anymore, taking more note of the fact that the Queen seemed to be looking at him as well. [color=CBBA2E]“Of life in the outside world, Your Excellency?”[/color] he confirmed, not entirely sure what she was asking. [color=CBBA2E]“I suppose that remains to be seen. Truth be told, it’s a considerable change, but one I endeavour to learn from. After all, even with an education as thorough as mine was, one can only experience so much from inside castle walls.”[/color] He took a breath and offered a smile, gut twisting all the time.
