    Cen’s ears flicked, while she wasn’t sure that the Archmage had heard his growl, she did. It was something she knew very well, though hoped that he behaved. Her words stayed sweet and polite, sounding a little different from when she normally spoke hoping Kari might recognize the act “ Yes, even with enchantments it’s still dangerous, for not only us but for you as well, technically.
