Jared went with Jay up the stairs glad that the younger man recognized the danger of such a spell. Jared had to admit the discussion was refreshing. After many years of keeping his abilities secret, it felt good to talk about what he could do - not to mention test out his abilities.
"Uhh, no reason, Mr. Wizard."
Jay's answer to Jared's question was a lie. Jared could tell - the grin awkward enough give away the fact that Jay knew more than he let on.
Jay was sweating by the time they reached the top and Jared made a mental not to find another practice space just in case he would need Jay's help again. Jay saw another Legionnaire and bid Jared farewell. Jared smiled at him as he hobbled away.
It didn't bother him that Jay had lied, and to be honest, Jared had enough on his plate already, but he could observe and make connections. In fact, Jay's question might give him a link to finding another mage. There had to be at least one more in their company. Hopefully, the younger man would reveal what he knew in his own time. Jay had certainly seen much more than he had probably thought he would today and Jared could give him time to digest the information. Jared, however, had another duty shift, and he was exhausted.
