Salem’s sigh and facepalm earned him a quizzical look from Aaron, moreso as he opted to write another note instead of replying. What was that about? Wasn’t he trying to make amends? Aaron was left wondering what he’d done wrong - a feeling that was growing more familiar than he’d like so far - until Salem folded up the new note and flicked it at him again, the little paper triangle this time hitting him in the chest. Aaron managed to catch it, a smirk threatening on his lips at the antics. 

[Color=82ca9d][i]"You have to write back. That's how note passing works silly. But no, I havent heard anything about my ettiquite classes...but I thought maybe...you could give me a head start? Come over my place?[/i][/color]

Right. Note passing. Aaron recalled seeing something like this in a movie once, though he’d never actually had any classmates to pass notes to. The closest thing he remembered doing was playing telephone with his aunt Clara as a child, though that consisted of them whispering to each other from different parts of the mages’ wing and Clara using her sound magic to carry their voices. Aaron also remembered Sariel blowing paper airplanes around to amuse herself while he worked on his control exercises, but that wasn’t quite the same, either. 

Mood lifted significantly by the memories, Aaron kept quiet this time, instead [i]writing[/i] his reply in elegant cursive. Slower on the upstrokes of the loops, like he’d been told. Salem's handwriting was clearly traditional as well, but the consistent loops and perfect, parallel slant of Aaron's contrasted with the organic wavering of Salem's, Aaron's looking like it could have been lifted from a cursive exercise book whereas Salem's looked more like it was pulled out of a field journal. 

[hider=Reply][color=f0d705][i]“Note passing, got it. 

I’d be happy to help you with etiquette, but I’ll have to get back to you about visiting. I was told to clear my plans tonight to go into town, but who knows, maybe I can drop by when we get back. Whatever happens though, if you’re Lucan’s mage, I’m sure I’ll be around eventually.

For your first class though, if you remember what I told you yesterday and do that, you’ll at least start off on the right foot!”[/i][/color]

Aaron almost passed it back before reconsidering, taking a second to add one more thing.

He was going to slide it across the table flat, but paused for a moment, deciding to see if he could emulate what Salem had done. He tried his best to re-fold the note along Salem's fold lines, but it only resulted in a vaguely triangular shape that kept popping back open. Suppressing a chuckle at his own difficulty, Aaron conceded, flicking it gently across the table to slide in front of Salem.
