The door slammed behind him unaided as Varis froze at the sight in front of him. Sword drawn, eyes wide and frantic, shaking ever so slightly-- It was the practical all over again. All the boy needed was that unhinged laughter. The terror and uncertainty of that night bubbled up and threatened to spill over as Varis instinctively reached up to touch his ear, terrified he’d find the spot where he’d burned away his flesh and hair. But his fingers found nothing wrong and Varis irritably shoved all of that nonsense down. Ryner and her mind games. He shook off his umbrella, leaning it on the wall as he fixed the boy with an unimpressed stare through his mindless rambling.

What was wrong with this mage? Was he broken? Varis was sorely tempted to turn on his heel and walk back out the door rather than dealing with this imbecile’s moronic rambling a second longer. His skin crawled in disgusted as this [i]child[/i] had the nerve to express his concern for Varis’ wellbeing. And asking if there was anything- Varis was here already! What could he possibly want this boy to do that his host of well trained and properly educated mages couldn’t? Varis let out an irritable grunt at the mage’s questions, peeling off his coat and dropping it in the boy’s hands as he pushed past him. He considered shutting himself away in his room but that would probably only leave the boy a more anxious mess so instead he plopped onto the couch, wiggling a little to get comfortable. He snapped at the boy.

For the time being, yes I am clearly fine, nothing of importance happened, and no there is nothing you can do as I am alive and sitting here in front of you."[/color] Varis sighed dismissively, waving off his concerns.

I do need something decent after the week I've had and I believe I'll need something to stomach the retelling of your epic confrontation with the Noila guards."[/color]
