[/shamelessly enables. Charr are great. They run on all fours like the fantabulous cat-cows that they are. Such epic. If you ever do decide to try it out let me know and I'll add you as a friend in-game!]
Aurus was pretty well expecting the questions to come at some point. Veritably no one, whether sylvari or human, ever met Keserhn without having quite a number of questions afterwards. Actually, the ones who managed to formulate questions were a step ahead--for many people they were left with nothing but deeply perplexed confusion.
At least Keserhn didn't appear to be holding on to that momentary show of displeasure with Aurus's long absence. In fact he'd already moved on.
Now that he'd been directly told that petting Charles's hair was something he ought not to do, he was occupying himself with Aurus's fern fronds instead. He stroked them with a single finger, each from its root where it began at Aurus's temple, tracing down along the grain of the leaves, and then returning up to the top and repeating the motion again.
(Aurus gave him a passing glance, then gave Charles a look as if to say Best to just accept and not question it just now.)
"And you are a very special case too, aren't you?" Keserhn was saying to Charles, looking at him in a way that left his meaning quite ambiguous. Was he suggesting that Charles was special simply by virtue of teaching special children? ...Or did he perhaps have some way to tell that there was something more to the man beyond what was being said?
