The same for teasing Sylvain about just about any little thing which might pop up between them with now being no exception to that.

A better way to go about this would've been to admit some curiosity was (elusively) behind this particular choice for something good to draw out of what Sylvain might've once gotten up to in Faerghus. Something to loop back to as he looks up in time to meet that grin with a smile of his own while tucking a reciprocal arm around the other man's waist. It takes all of a second for his smile to turn a bit wistful, since: speaking of where they'd grown up. ]

A range on the eastern side of Almyra maybe a half day's flight by wyvern from the palace.
