Thren and Thais wouldn't know each other, and he'd probably gulp at her position of authority in the Circle.
Apostates do not make good friends with the Enchanters. He's also incredibly secretive, and with your penchant for gossip would probably stand on the other side of camp, trying not to make too much of an impression or give things away.
He'd be worried about the gaps you'd fill on your own. He knows First Enchanter at a young age is a big deal, and sadly will not trust you.
However, welcome! I look forward to any potential future conflict XD
