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.

"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."

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.

"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.

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."

"Well, if you put it like that... no, I suppose not," Aaron smiled self-consciously.

Aaron smiled. That was a reassurance.

He heard something outside. "That'll be him." And got up to meet Alcuin.

Suddenly Aaron was worried. For jealousy, for anything either might think. "I'm so glad you could come," he said nonetheless. "Come in, come in," he motioned, letting the two men go inside first.

It was quite romantic, Aaron agreed. "One of Eliot's councilors found it for us," Aaron supplied. "Abandoned, forgotten and far away. It's perfect."

Aaron had never been very impressed with Fillory before. Eliot had increased his respect for the place and its royalty. "Nor did I. I think I insulted you the first time we met," he said, good-naturedly.

"It was a different time," Aaron defended. "I didn't think much of Fillorians." Pause. "Also, yes."

Aaron wondered if this was a good idea, not for the first time. But he was determined not to show any awkwardness. "Let's nog dwell on that and celebrate friendship instead," he smiled and took a generous sip of wine.
