"Ah that." Aedan nodded slowly. "Exes....they'll do that." He winced a little. "And at that age...I can well imagine." He whistled a little. "Had to be a LOT of heartbreak along the way. And well, not in the same WAY. I had tutors, Elle had tutors, they have classes for the chantry initiates and templars and such, lessons...but it's not for everyone or those can't afford...you've seen my spelling and my writing? Didn't start learning soon enough, and well, too late."
"I mean, probably not BATMAN batman but...in principle." Aedan said. "I feel like Batman would've been super paranoid about your existence and given you a secret identity but..." He winced. "That's bad. I remember the years not knowing who my father was...they weren't easy. Sorry, mate."
He glanced down too and grinned. "Only when it rains. But no, that's sort of my...thing. Control...Ellie had NO sense of it at first. She burnt a LOT of things. I swear it's part of why we moved."
