	When Aaron began to elaborate more into the social agenda's that they were to play that evening, Salem simply chose to turn his head and face the window that lead out to their patio. He didn't need to hear his mansplination, nor did he care to. There was a reason he had left out the details of what they should be doing that evening. Lilie would most likely never comply to it given the manner in which she felt when the rumor mill had spun about Aaron, and Salem didn't know Max or Maddie enough to owe them that explanation. Really if they weren't already coached about such details by their partners earlier in the evening or even days prior then they could simply forget about their duties and fall prey to the entrapments laid down by their partners and those around them. Salem, of course, would have kept Lilie from spilling anything dire because he would hate to see anything brought up against her. All of that aside Salem just wished for Aaron to simply stop loving his own voice more than those around him, having to always get the last word when it came to the pair and always feeling the need to come out on top in any way possible. No instead Salem enjoyed the quiet night outside, watching the flicker of light as the moon shone against the dewed grass and made a small performance just for him. 

	Max spoke up, offering little to the conversation save for the fact that they shared one thing in common...boredom. Salem didn't expect an extravagant evening nor did he expect one so simple. Knowing Aaron he had hoped the light mage had come up with literally anything useful or diverting to do this evening even if his strings were being perpetually pulled by a Saberhagen clone, or more aptly what Mr. Saberhagen was more likely cloned after. His attention was turned back to those that were around him, he couldn't exactly pull off the brooding loner that pulls away at parties in the same sense that Max did, but much like the metal mage he still hated attending them. He gave Lilie another smile as she answered about any rumours she may have heard adding in [color=82ca9d]"Aside from the one earlier this year about a certain Starag mage, I can't say I've heard of anything even remotely interesting no."[/color] Salem took a pause for a moment, wanting to ask Lilie a question when suddenly Maddie had one of her own. A fair one to be exact, but one that could also be used against them. Either way his Arcane Major wasn't a major secret. [color=82ca9d]"I'm still tossing around ideas but I have a firm belief that I'm going to land on Transmutation. It would help greatly both in my work and my future...employment. How about you Max? any thoughts on yours?"[/color]
