Aaron
Eliot had weird feelings about being back in Fillory. It wasn’t trivial to go back and forth, and Margo wasn’t even sure how to make it happen again. Eliot has considered, briefly, insisting that Q go back in his place. But no, he couldn’t do that to Aaron. And this was his responsibility. Fen was so relieved to see him, too. They’d had sex the next night; she was ovulating.
He missed Aaron immediately though, and a few days later he went to King’s to spend time with him. Also like… apparently the king had been murdered? Things seemed remarkably peaceful under those circumstances.

He leaned back again. "So yes, arrange for us to meet."

Aaron nodded. "Maybe he could come here?" He suggested.

Aaron was more concerned about being seen, so such thoughts didn't cross his mind. "Can you stay until tomorrow?" It was never clear how much time they had together.

"Good," Aaron said, quite happy. "Then we have the whole day. What would you like to do?"

"Well, I thought maybe you wanted to do something besides fucking," Aaron said with a smile. "We could ride, take a boat on the lake... Or we can fuck all day, yes."

"Do you know how to ride? If not, I could show you," Aaron suggested.

He paused. “Though… I mean… if you want to help me with something my swordsmanship is shit.”
no subject
Aaron perked up. He loved feeling useful and he was a damned good swordsman.
"Would you like to learn? I'd love to teach you. And maybe archery? We could hunt."
no subject
"I could use the practice," he agreed. "Though maybe one thing at a time. I'm afraid I'm really quite an embarrassment, Aaron... the only way I've been able to make any headway at all with a sword is by cheating with magic."
no subject
"I wouldn't have to teach you if you were good at it," Aaron said, pleased still. "Come on, let's go outside. Show me what you can, first."
no subject
"You're a good teacher," Eliot said breathlessly, feeling thoroughly sated.
no subject
Aaron pit his arms around Eliot and held him close. "You're a good student. I particularly enjoy your commitment to payment," he chuckled, sated and tired.
After a while, Aaron got up to go back to the city. They needed some supplies and Aaron wanted to invite Alcuin for the next day.
He washed up in a nearby creek and left on his horse.
He came back later, just before dark, with food, wine and the promise of Alcuin for the next morning.

From the spot at the table, he asked, "Anything else you want to tell me about him?" before taking a bite of an apple.
no subject
"I haven't really known him that well, I'm getting to know him now," Aaron admitted. He thought a bit. "He...used to work at the brothel to repay a debt. Worked to pay off what is called a 'marque' to be free. So he's a free man now and... Well he chose to stay and is involved with Lecter, the owner of the brothel." It was clear Aaron didn't know what to make of that.

"Oh, most certainly," Aaron said. "I think he likes the sex, but also, the intrigue. A lot of people talk a lot to prostitutes." Himself included.
no subject
But he only nodded. "Huh. Well, better to be doing it for himself, or whatever reasons he has, than to pay off a debt."
no subject
Aaron nodded. "Is there anything you'd want to know about... my relationship to him? I don't mind telling, if you don't mind hearing of it."
no subject
no subject
"Well, if you put it like that... no, I suppose not," Aaron smiled self-consciously.
