"Why not?"
"Do you remember what happened before you fainted?"
Aelar shook his head, clueless about the events that transpired.
"It's because you caused an explosion that demolished the entire east wing of our residence. We cannot risk something like that happening again. It's too dangerous to let you out when you might pose a risk to others," Saile explained.
Aelar was taken aback, unaware of his own potential for destruction. He earnestly promised, "But Father, I assure you it won't happen again. Please, let me meet him."
"Can you guarantee that nothing will go wrong?" Saile pressed.
Aelar remained silent, knowing he couldn't make such a promise.
"I will ensure his safety and that he doesn't accidentally harm anyone," Gauis interjected, offering his assurance.
Aelar's eyes lit up with hope, but Saile was hesitant, "Gauis, you've done more than enough. I can't ask you to shoulder this burden too."
