As Maelyn had been talking to Queen Lani and checking on her system's messages Abjul had made his way over to Speaker Nasir and was now approaching Maelyn. When he got close enough to her to speak privately he asked with a grin, "Am I allowed to ask you to lunch without Joseph close enough to see and gossip about"
"Depends. If you're wanting to feed his gossip mill we'll have to repeat this scene at the tent." Maelyn replied with a similar grin, "Cause he'd been been hiding in the corner the whole day and slipped out so fast when he smelt food on me that I wouldn't be surprised if he learns how to slip through the cracks of the walls when he learns his magic."
"Well, if he's not here, I'll just come straight out with why I was asking." Abjul let her know, "In fact, it has something to do with the magic deal. I was wanting to discuss this whole magic and dragon situation with you."
