Nova Peak The fear it manifests

Although the male tried to hide it, his scar was large enough to be a main facial feature of his, but in Aro's opinion it was a mark to be proud of, regardless of what the story behind it was. Of course, Aro didn't know the story, but by the way Kieran behaved about the mark Aro could make some assumptions and be almost exact in his guessing.

"Aro Silvanuk. Maester." he returned politely with a bow and all. "Is something bothering you, Kieran? I couldn't help noticing a certain sadness about your eyes..." he asked without remorse. He was a counselor, that was his trade and job.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" he said, trying to sound as warm and trustable as possible, but that was just natural in him.
