Myr's brave smile trembles as Viren leans in to kiss him. It's...fortunate, that he hasn't got eyes any longer or he might weep for how this tears at his heart. (He'd be hard-pressed to explain why such tangible evidence of his Dragon's love moves him so, though to have obtained it under false pretenses...)
He swallows, hard, against the difficult emotions that evokes, and against the relief (quickly concealed) to hear that Viren hasn't contracted it yet. Did that get through?
He manages a laugh, half-born of his own nerves.] A shame--but here, I thought you'd gotten ahead of me! Maybe we've a chance to explore it together, still.
[His ears flick at carefully controlled, at how Viren's usual--Viren-ess is still somehow there even when altered by the Circle's intentions. That hurts, too, to recognize.] Because I can think of no one more careful in that respect, and you know I'll always take the opportunity to study with you.
[Softly, then,] Speaking of--what d'you make of the rumors of folk using the Circle's work to enrich themselves--or just for pleasure?
