It seems, then, that Dirthamen himself is smiling upon Linden, that he by chance chose a Circle largely unknown to the man. "We were little touched by the rebellion," he says as neutrally as possible, because he doesn't really know what tone proper mages would use to say such a thing. Would a proper mage express sorrow, that freedom didn't come to him? Relief, that he was spared brutality?

What Linden had felt in truth, when the rebellion had come, had been relief. Not because he was overjoyed to see the poor downtrodden fools find their freedom. But because it was a grand relief to have more apostates running around. The more grand and powerful and notorious spellcasters there were on the lam, the less likely it was that anyone would spare a thought at mousy, stoop-backed Linden.

"Did you see much fighting?" That seems a good question. Soldiers like to share war stories, and the emotion carries them away from the present moment. Their attention gets diffuse.

Soldiers do like to do that. It's possible so does Marcus.

Here, he only nods.

At least, at first, lazily scratching Vysvolod's neck before pulling his hands away. He cups them to gather up some rain and then uses this to rid the excess dirt from his fingers and beneath his nails, mostly gathered from the dog and its propensity to roll in puddles and, beyond the city, muddy river mouths. Maybe, even if Marcus doesn't immediately offer up tales of glory or sorrow, Linden achieves that sense of diffuse focus anyway.

"How have you found it?" Or perhaps not. "Walking freely. I know it is a different thing, for elves."
