 Salem doubled over, hands on his knees as he took a breath.[Color=82ca9d]"Gotta get that speed up if you plan on staying in that arena."[/color] Salem said in a playful voice. He stood up, moving a stray hair out of his face and behind his left ear. He followed quietly for a moment, waiting to see what Aaron had to say about the note or the earlier debacle with the Astorio vampire. A lecture, no doubt, on how he should compose himself better and how he needs to address the nobles from a kneeling position or something. They finally reached a table, and Aaron introduced the mystery mage as Max. Maxwell Alderman if he recalled Varis' previous mention of the mages last name. This must be his Treaty Law partner for the Sinnenodels. [Color=82ca9d]"Pleasure to meet you Max, I'm Salem. I think you're our partner for the Treaty Law class. So I guess it's a good thing we are together now."[/color] Salem offered the group a smile as he continued to stand awkwardly at the table. [Color=82ca9d]"Well, I think I'm going to go and try out what a school has to offer for Lunch. I'm excited to see what I can find."[/color]

 Salem jogged over towards the Lunch line, grabbing a tray to ser his food onto. After a moment he was attended to and he inquired about an item on the menu. The sound of it intrigued him, something akin to a beef Wellington but not properly done at all. He ordered two, not knowing how big the portions were and took the recommended side of fries as well as a small side caesar salad, and a iced green tea. Finally making his way back to the table and sitting next to Max. [Color=82ca9d]"Guys look, I got something called a [i]Hamburger[/i] it looks so interesting! Like a big sandwhich. I think I got too much however..."[/color] It was then that Lilie mentioned the rumor that he had heard previously in class. Salem almost choked on his fury as she spoke. Pounding his fist against his chest as he coughed. [Color=82ca9d]"Not possible, Aaron's been preoccupied with a lot of things and they involved me as well. So unless I was drugged and he either slipped out and had a quick bit of fun or i was in a uh... menage a trois, then I doubt the validity of this claim."[/color] Salem shot Aaron a look that could only read as [b][i]squash this rumor now[/i][/b] He quickly put on a smile and attempted to change the subject [Color=82ca9d]"So Max, Lilie, how were your affinity classes? Ours was...interesting to say the least. Apparently bonding with your crystal partner is important and it may come into play later on. Otherwise I dont see why they asked the pair of us to stop the training and start working on our friendship."[/color]
