Simeon could tell his words had some impact judging from the initial silence from Valborast. He was too talkative earlier to have simply gone silent without reason. It was good, it meant he knew how to think about what he heard. A trait lost on many youths day by day. “That's an...interesting...

Simeon watched the boy carefully. He couldn't read his thoughts but he could tell Valborast was thinking through something. "It's the nature of all living things to fear loss. Some reasonable precautions are always taken in that regard of course, such as the construction of fortifications...

Simeon didn't fail to miss the way the boy ran a hand through his own thinning hairline. But he generously overlooked it, though his eyes narrowed just the slightest bit. "Most certainly illusions can't have been used for the majority of them. If that were the case it wouldn't take long at all...

Simeon's displeasure at being indirectly asked for plants to smoke vanished when Valborast spoke next. Death magic? Now that was a topic worthy of greater discussion. The most simplistic application of such magic was simply to kill, but all magic could be applied to that effect. That couldn't be...

Simeon's face remained passive for a moment before he sighed. "The youth," he grumbled under his breath. Why one would ever willingly poison themselves with a plant was beyond him. "Let me rephrase my question to something you'll better understand then. What do you wish of me? You wouldn't tell...

Valborast? Never heard of him, but the Knights of Anathaeum gathered many youths from various walks of life. Hopefully he would prove less foolish than the rest of them. Simeon raised an eyebrow at his claim to know the disposition of the cursed. Perhaps his questing brought him across one. Or...

Simeon's eyes ran across the book's fancy script. Grumbling at every minor inaccuracy he noticed as he did. While not useless, it reminded him more of an Elbion textbook than a scholarly work. But such was the nature of this field of study. “Good day,” someone greeted him. That stranger being a...

Access to Astenvale's library had been a welcome benefit of working in the Wyvern's Nest. Simeon had worried that moving to such a remote area might hinder his studies, but the Knights of Anathaeum proved the slightest bit more intelligent than the usual brutes Simeon had dealt with over his...
