The kids were at first frightened by Darklaw and started running, one of them looking back and teasing as they ran before the whole group were stopped by a guard. The troublemakers would be scolded and returned to their parents sooner or later. Avery was curious as to what scared away the kids before he heard someone approach his door and slide his food to him. "Thanks." Avery spoke feebly, taking a bite of his lunch before continuing. "I'm...not sure if you're the right person to ask, but do you know if the princess is feeling any better?" The mage asked as soon as his mouth wasn't full of food. "I just feel terrible about that whole mishap with the new spell, and I hope she isn't in too much pain..." He sulked a bit as he spoke, leaning against a wall. Whoever delivered his food might've been gone for all Avery knew before he realized he kinda rambled on for some odd reason.
