Envy nodded along; whatever he knew of the lads magic skills, he made no show. He knew Ikegai and Akuma were both tightly enthralled in the dark side of the forbidden magics, and having dragged this young man into the center of it was a crime on its own. He was patient as Gavin stammered along, answering to the extent of his comfort. 

"And did you enjoy it?" Envy asked when Gavin had finished. "Being an errand boy, I mean. I get the distinct feeling you did not enjoy the other portions of your tasks. We don't have merchant to schmooze or lords to represent here, unless you count the princess. But no neighbouring city with which to converse as of yet." Envy thought for a moment. "But in time, we could use someone unafraid of the ego of well-born men and women, and who would be up to the task of dealing with them."

"Or, did you enjoy your work in magic? Kire says you're a scion of a family well bathed in magic, so it is in your blood. If you'd like, I would not hide you from that, but rather introduce you to more of it. The other side of the coin you were force to participate it. For every dark magic, there is a light magic, you know. It is a world of balance. If you are curious, I could see about educating you in healing arts. Rulitus is brilliant with enchantments. Many options remain if you still feel that call in your heart."
