The bermuda cluster

That Megara had so readily agreed was reassuring, something he may have to thank her for privately later. But of course, Ruth continued to poke his nose into matters that really were none of his concern. His personal life, in any capacity was not something he wanted floated around like some idle town gossip between people who had nothing better to do then talk and distract from their own lives. Thankfully Alaric spoke up before he could make another cutting remark, the words drawing a chuckle from the elvhen mage, he was not entirely correctly but now was hardly the time.

If my memory hasn't failed me, I believe I was berated just as much as you for the chaos I caused in my youth. My father was not pleased when I rode his dragon around without permission... and caused the visiting nobility to faint when I landed her right in front of them. I did not hear the end of that for weeks. A story recalled without thought, as if it were just he and Alaric in the room reminiscing about times long past. Only after a moment, did he recall where he was, and who else was here. Both in his mind and physically, for his part, he heard little but quiet laughter from June. In my defense, I was left unsupervised and I had no desire to pretend at being nice to nobility who thought themselves as my betters. Softer words, more aware of his surroundings now. Admitted with a shrug, before his old friend announced his intention to stay within Arlathan at least for a little while.

If nothing else, he'd know where to find him and knowing he was alive? That was more then enough for today. In due time, he knew they would find their own space to speak more. Without prying ears listening, though he was sure he'd shared more than enough that Ruth would try to poke open such wounds eventually. Still that was a worry for another time, and because of that, his attention turned back to Meg. Who he had come here for in the first place. I'll take my leave for the time being, I'm sure you two wish for a chance to speak without my interrupting, a glance towards Alaric, a hand reached out to squeeze his hand once before letting go. If nothing else, I know where to find you now. And better then that, he could always return here later.
