Amaris could not catch her laughter in time as she pictured a fork flying through the air at a faceless acquaintance. She could see how inconvenient it might be to have to literally tie objects down to prevent their escape, and even more to have one's personal thoughts broadcasted without knowledge or intent. She felt bad having assumed the worse.

“[color=d42cf9]I promise I can control it now! I don’t just jump into people’s heads unless we need to.[/color]” He followed up, though for some reason he had swapped his subject from personal to plural. Perhaps the mysterious behind-the-scenes friend? Amaris might have guessed Queeny to be the other identity in question but that was mostly because it was the only other name he had mentioned.

“[color=f49ac2]Well, I certainly hope Queeny didn’t take it too personally. Must have been quite the year having to chase down lost belongings. It’s no wonder you didn’t have time for much else.[/color]” She responded lightheartedly before her expression fell, a tinge of regret tainting her tone.

“[color=f49ac2]As normal as the questions might have been though, they were still rude. I, of all people, should understand having my intentions judged because of the actions of others. That in mind, I appreciate you taking the time to explain it to me. It was very thoughtful.[/color]” A portion of her smile returned before she sat back in her seat, eyes scanning the rest of the environment out of habit. Cassandra had still not made an appearance, perhaps still held up by whomever she had selected to dance with. She considered checking in with the mage but was worried about overstepping her bounds, after all, she was already starting to make amends for her earlier blunder. Deciding to leave the mage be for the time being, Amaris turned her attention back to Dennis.

“[color=f49ac2]Well, now that you have a small break from your studies you might as well enjoy yourself. Was there something in particular you were hoping to see during The Revel? I can’t imagine the ballroom was the peak of your excitement.[/color]” The countess teased.
