It was very rare to be able to see what Kynier saw then. The look of amazement on Farris’ face when the shield was cast. The man was so intrigued that he reinitiated his auristics. Without the use of his own Kynier could see the glimmer of djed in the man’s eyes as he looked at the shield. It caused Kynier to smirk. Nodding to the rhetorical question. Though when Farris admitted to only know three disciplines Kynier felt disappointment. They were three of the arts that he already knew which made it worse. It wasn’t complete discouragement. Kynier was stretched thin in his studies, trying to not let any of them exceed the other too quickly. So it was quite possible that the other mage had a more extensive understanding of his chosen disciplines.
No one was approaching or to be seen. Kynier didn’t yet feel any further need to conceal their conversation they was Farris did. He understood what the man meant though. If shielding wasn’t in his repertoire Kynier would’ve faced the exact same issue. Fire was not something you wanted to practice in a confined space of your home. But then he mentioned a place. The Midnight Gem. Kynier hadn’t heard of it and wondered what sort of place it was. That was a question to be asked later though. For now he needed to express the more delicate ones while the shield still operated.
“I also know Reimancy and Voiding. There are others that I’m aware of that I’d like to learn as some point. My teacher wasn’t a family member nor was he part of any affiliation. He didn’t completely agree with my coming to Sunberth and wanted to teach me more. But there’s a time for study and a time to act.” Kynier scratched his chin thoughtfully as he watched the other mage. “I would be curious to know what you have learned in your studies Farris. A knowledge exchange could prove mutually beneficial.”
It felt like a risk. Allowing someone the opportunity to get close enough to develop a connection. Farris took risks. Practicing in Execution Square of all places. Coming out of his solidarity was bound to be rough. Yet the man didn’t seem to understand yet the brutality of the city. Kynier acknowledged that this would be more of a project for him and a learning experience for Farris. Still, thinking that there was someone else available to provide second opinions without the long lectures Doler tended to do have. The only thing Kynier could be excited about in truth was the possibility that the other mage had focused on a different element than he had.
“You say you work at the Fence? I’ve heard of the place but haven’t ever been there. That would make for an excellent rendezvous for discussions about further plans.”
