Caius had no real idea how much time had passed.
He could feel Cynthia walking around him slowly, analyzing his form from all angles, trying to ascertain that he was doing as she had instructed, which was to kneel and remain still.
And then she stopped moving and stood before him for a full minute before opening her mouth to say.
"Disappointed?"
Caius opened his eyes slowly and looked up at her to see that she was smiling lightly.
"What?" He asked.
"I asked if you were disappointed," Cynthia said still with that smile,
"You don't have to answer. I can tell by your countenance that it's taking all you have to stay and remain still.
Disappointment that we're not doing more active things, permeates your entire form."
"I—" Caius started to say in what was going to be an attempt at denial but then he just smiled and let out a sigh.
"Turns out I'm more Mage-Knight than I realize," he said shaking his head.
