Aaron watched curiously as Salem made a face at the paper, scratching something out before he wrote his reply. Did he say something wrong? The next launch of the note cleared things up, Aaron managing to catch it after it passed between his fingers. Salem had scratched out the word ‘Master’, as if he couldn’t stand to even look at it. It seemed a little extreme, but Aaron could admit that he wasn’t enormously happy about it either. His question wasn’t one Aaron was too thrilled to answer, but given Salem’s earlier complaints about him hiding things made him think a little honesty would put the man more at ease. 

[hider=Note][color=f0d705][i]“Oh, yeah. Well, before dinner he had a pretty typical system of terms of address using his name and title, but after all that happened at dinner I guess he decided he needed to start me a little… lower. He wasn’t happy with me, heh. So that’s what I’ll be calling him for the foreseeable future. 

But maybe this is better. Less to remember, right? 

As for Lucan, I wouldn’t call that normal except that I’m 99% sure he was on deployment last night, so it would make sense for him to be gone for a night or even more. His job requires a lot of planning beforehand, then the execution, then a ton of debriefing, so I wouldn’t be surprised if you just found him asleep when you get home tonight, haha.”[/i][/color]

Aaron looked at the last line for a moment, admittedly a little humbled. He’d only known Salem and Lilie for a little over a night and already the three of them seemed to be latching on to each other. Whether or not it was normal for people to attach to the first friends they met, it was a comforting thought.

He he did his best to draw the little smiley face at the end and folded the note back up, more easily this time, and aimed a little better when he launched the triangle back. He still didn’t get it between Salem’s fingers, instead hitting one of his hands and sending it ricocheting off onto the table. He actually did let out a quiet chuckle at that, shaking his head at his own difficulty. 

Just as Salem opened the note, Aaron felt a buzz both on his wrist and in his pocket. His watch displayed a text notification from… Lucan! Speak of lycans! Aaron cracked a wide smile as he fished his phone out of his pocket.

[color=#9932CC][i]> Hey, It’s been a crazy few days but I’m fine and back at the Academy. Too much to say over text, can you meet me at any point this week? How was the dinner?[/i][/color]

Aaron was thrilled to hear from Lucan, quelling some of the worry that had been flooding his mind, but his question made the mage’s face fall a tick. Dinner again. Why was everyone so damn interested?

Shelving his annoyance, he waited until Salem had read the note before tapping him on the shoulder and showing him the message, waiting long enough for him to read it before tapping out his reply. 

[color=f0d705][i]> Glad to hear it!
> Dinner was certainly something, a little too much to explain over text as well. I don’t know when I’ll be free this week but I’ll look into that ASAP. Maybe we can work on Gloria?[/i][/color]

He almost put his phone back before remembering something fairly important, rushing out another message before tucking his phone back in his pocket. 

[color=f0d705][i]> By the way, apparently there’s a rumour going around that I got some girl sent to the mines? I have no idea where that came from or what that’s about, and I’m sure I don’t have to tell you how ridiculous it is, but you should know before you hear it somewhere else. [/i][/color]
