Cyne tried to remain oblivious to the sheer amount of weapons the woman had been carrying on her person. He was a little surprised how many she had, even with him expecting to see her fully armed. Realizing she'd asked him about Caldwyn, he got a little giddy. The thought of spending some time with Caldwyn seemed like the perfect way to absorb some knowledge while also being around some of the queen's subjects other than the woman herself. Maybe he could even help some of the students learn about magic, since he had taught before as well.<br/><br/>"Caldwyn has certainly peaked my interest now that you mention it, Elara. However, if I may, what will the council be... discussing?" He paused trying to think of what to say. He knew that any council would be discussing politics, and he'd be surprised if he wasn't a topic to be discussed. "I don't want to tread on your toes, but if I do become a topic, what effect would my presence have on the discussion?"<br/><br/>He was a prince after all, he'd been raised a diplomat, he knew how kingdoms worked. Even in this alien land, he imagined the vampiric power structures couldn't be all that different.<i>Unless Elara happened to be the only queen among savages. </i>He shook his head, trying to expel the thought. Seeing Elara and her kind in a better light would be something he'd have to do to make any form of progress with them, and no amount of bias would help.
