The boy shrugged uncomfortably "I... I don't know. Perhaps I should leave; then I would be out of Aunt Alliene's way..." he shivered, and looked at the floor. "My presence here was untactful... I should go." he didn't say that it was because of him that Alae had gotten into trouble with their aunt; he didn't have to. He obviously blamed himself though. "By your leave, my lady?" he asked, bowing low again, waiting for her permission to go.
