"There's been times it'd have come in handy." Aedan mused. "I mean, I've learned SOME stuff, but..." He took a deep breath. I dinna ken anymore if it's what I want to be doing, or using...that's...there's a lot I don't know if I trust in anymore and..."
He shook his head. "the best drinks sound awesome right now."
"I'll do that." Hans called back, and he was kind of glad actually that someone else was around for Aedan to talk at. It wasn't like he was that great at making life altering decisions, obviously.
"So..." Aedan led the way up to the castle gates. "This is going to be...probably quite loud. Contrary to what you hear, there's not that many living in the place. My da, my stepfather, my uncles, and my cousin, and sometimes my sister. Hans and my uncle's other secretary come in from the town, and Basch, Noah, my stepfather's brother lives elsewhere on the property, at the gatehouse, but...this family's loud and sound carries. Any luck and I can spirit you downstairs fast. If we miss that, you might be forced to socialize."
