"I would have to disagree with you there, Elara, you see, even though you might not be able to perform any sort of magic under my tutelage, it'd be valuable information to you. My particular knowledge is something you could stand to gain from, since a majority of any dealings with anyone else of my kind will likely be using the very things I tell you. And don't mistake that for just understanding war tactics. Being able to understand someone on a level you didn't previously think about can have a powerful effect."<br/><br/>He spoke carefully, picking each word to not insinuate anything war oriented, but not anything that might come off as deceptive to any close by listeners. As he stood there, watching the young student tracking around them, he noticed the odd behavior. Although the child seemed to afford him some wayward glances, it almost seemed as if his very presence was threatening the poor child. Moving slowly, as to not startle the child, he helped to untack his horse, trying to keep up his noble stance.<br/><br/>"I would also personally love the opportunity to attend a class of Caldwyn's, but I'd personally feel as if I'd be sending the wrong message to be wandering with the inhabitants of your realm, without your presence. It has only been a couple days since our treaty was finalized, and I'm not entirely certain some of your fellows veterans of war would treat me as hospitably as you," he stated somewhat dryly, watching the child slowly trying to squirm through him to help, but without having to either make contact or be too close to him. If Cyne couldn't stand next to a child of this kingdom in the Queen's presence, it might seem rude to some of his less friendly company to be taking classes with their local mage.
