Yvaion stared at him with genuine confusion. Was the physical world attacking him or something? There was no mana fluctuation in the area.

Yvaion remained silent. With what training?

|You made him exercise beyond his usual limits yesterday.|
"The warm-up?"

Reis ignored the silent attack on his dignity and rubbed at his leg carefully, only managing to make it worse.
"Master Reis, you forgot the…"
Reis looked back at the hurrying footsteps. Nevan stopped a few steps away from them. His eyes moved first to Reis, then to the unfamiliar man holding him upright.. "...Is something wrong?"
He was too much in pain to care about image. It wasn't possible to jump away now and Yvaion was only helping him stand.
"I pulled a muscle and almost fell down. But I'm fine."
Nevan's gaze lowered briefly toward the arm still around Reis's waist.
