The vampire was startled again by her ally's phrasing, offering to show her how to better understand his brand of magic in particular and then she snorted a little, shaking her head. "I don't mean to make fun, but it is a bit useless trying to explain magic to a being who has no particular aptitude for it. Those arts simply do not take to my kind. It would work should you chose to cook me alive in my bath water or just roast me over a spit, but I wouldn't be able to reproduce the effects, even with years of training." She explained, slowing her steed as they passed the stable, and dismounting slowly. Elara kept her tone even, civil and explanatory, rather than the fond, teasing tone she had used when in the ruins of the city of dragons.<br/><br/>"It would be a waste of your time, and mine, for even the merest attempt at instruction." She added, attempting to soothe the stringent words at least a little. "Now, the afternoon and evening are yours to do as you wish... you can stay in the rooms, or go pester Caldwyn if you're so inclined." Elara said quietly, flapping a hand at one of Caldwyn's students who had come to take the reins of the beasts from her. "Unless you're inclined to follow a general around pretending to be a Queen to sniping nobility around every corner." She rolled her eyes in mild amusement and rested a hand on a hip, as if waiting for a return jest in kind. Her joke had come with a cool, detached sort of tone, that might have said she didn't particularly care if he did or not, with the exception of the half-smirk on her face.
