Osreor and Valentin - Wallflower
There were some flaws in Valentin's intelligence, which is why wasn't a Sphinx. One of the biggest ones was his idealism. The young vampire had a hard time seeing the world as it was, but rather he saw how it should be. Which is why it took him so long to figure out what why Osreor was communicating the way he was.
There was a brief moment of utter anxiety when it hit Valentin. "Oh, you can't... I mean, you can... You're..." The word mute hung there, unspoken, before it fluttered away.
Valentin quickly recalibrated himself, giving Osreor a vague sort of smile. "You have a knack? What kind of knack? Are you a witch?"
