I could not figure out Aydin. One second he was preventing a fight, the next he seemed ready for one, and then he was disbelieving on the point if condescending, and now he was sympathetic and either crazy or traumatized as his listening to a noise that didn’t exist proved.

He’s absolutely correct, honestly. XD Aydin is such a social chameleon I sometimes have trouble figuring out what his actual personality is.

 I noticed that his right(?) hand was stiff.

Yep, right!

Aydin

“It’s not too bad, just horrible timing really,” Khalon said. “My ability has gotten me into nothing but…uncomfortable situations though it can be a little helpful.”

He paused as though remembering and I frowned,  trying to assess what he was thinking. Khalon seemed… well, naive. I somehow got the idea he hadn’t seen a lot of dangerous situations in his life.

(I don’t know whether this is actually true but that’s his perception XD)

He continued rambling, which further confirmed my suspicion that he hadn’t learned the lesson never to miss a good chance to keep your mouth shut.

“For once I was glad I had it when I dropped into this place and was immediately threatened, but now it’s gone, and I’m now stuck with a horn. Oh, and sorry about the noise it made. My horn playing skills are, well, you heard me play,” he interrupted himself.

I shrugged. The noise had been horrible but it was over now.

“Do you have any special skills?” he asked, as an afterthought.

I smiled, wryly. I had a lot of answers to that.

“I seem to have a gift for making enemies, otherwise, no,” I said, sarcastically. My other gifts included not dying in circumstances where I absolutely should have died, to everyone’s annoyance including my own.

Khalon shot me a dubious look. He seemed as uncomfortable as I was. I was just hiding it better. Hopefully. Still, he didn’t seem to dislike me, he was just unsure. He would probably start disliking me pretty soon. I hadn’t told him I was an assassin, but he’d find out soon enough. I wasn’t looking forward to that.
