..."So you expect me... to personally come with you, just so you can get a gift for a boy in the Withered." Avius said, shocked by just a revelation.
Aether smiled, from beyond Avius's desk, his hands behind his back as he nodded. "Of course, you spent a lot of time near kids in training, so you have to know a few things. And plus, you're the only person I could think of."
Avius sighed, rising from his chair as he slowly walked over to the boy, resting a hand on his shoulder. "And just what makes you think that I would ever do that? I'm an important man, Aether, you know that. I don't have time for things like this." He let his hand fall as he passed him, only to come from behind and slightly correct his stance. "I know we've spent some time together, with all those stories I told you instead of teaching you.
But we aren't friends." Backing off slightly, Avius watched as Aether turned to face him, his smile still on his face.
