‘Then it seems this bakery is good at what they do, its very easy to get the consistency wrong.’ Grabbing a scone himself. ‘I’m more a Jam person myself.’ Taking his own knife to cut the scone in half and spread both halves with the accompanying preserve. ‘It’s been more years than I care to admit since I had scones, Thank you again.'
Listening politely while he chews the treat appreciatively. Chambers can’t help but be calmed despite his concerns of that which lurks in the shadows of their world. She speaks with practical wisdom, while not overly fretting. She really is quite pleasant company.
‘A group of wilful.’ For awakened were always wilful. ‘And justly paranoid.’ For mages also tend to carry that trait almost to a one. ‘Will always struggle to order themselves without proper enforced structure.

'In terms of Spirit and time I would be of little use I’m afraid I have yet to develop understanding into either.’ And walking the path of doom especially as I do means one of those is very unlikely to be developed. ‘I will confess I’m not much in a fight so don’t go expecting heroics.’ An amused chuckle as he certainty can’t imagine it. ‘My skills tend more on the information gathering side of things at the moment.’
‘Why did I stay? Oh, easy I’m still studying, little under two years left.’ He sips his tea. ‘Though I recently returned from two years out and about the world as part of the course.’ He gestures to her with the cup. ‘What of yourself, what was medical school like?’
