As she spoke of bonds, and even the possibility of balls and events at the Grey Tower itself; Beron found himself smiling as he considered the chance to take Isla out among the dancers. How she might look in finery, her hair lifted off her shapely neck...
Realizing he had drifted in thought, he felt his cheeks flush lightly and he made himself listen to Bastian. He was surprised to hear that they would not be treated as simply bodyguards, possibly even separated from their Aes Sedai.
As Bastian voiced his concern, Beron found himself agreeing. “I have to admit, I had often just assumed I would serve my bondmate as her valet ,” Beron tripping over the unfamiliar word. “I know Aes Sedai are formidable, but it does seem surprising we would be seperated. Although I suppose women and men will utter things with their peers that we do not in mixed company”
Beron then noticed the Kandori woman had simply fixed her table setting as she had been speaking, so with a couple quick glances he copied her example. “Is there anywhere in Hama Valon one could practice as well? I have the feeling social polish is going to take more than a few tries,” Beron asked casually as he wondered what event they could be attended with Andraste Sedai.
