Drayden sighs and shakes his head, clearly embarrassed by his student's display. Cynthia for her part, keeps on smiling as she's growing increasingly amused by this girl. Partially, because in their discussions Drayden had made it very clear that Iris had only just turned 18, and while Cynthia could acknowledge her demeanor had been a touch condescending she was also finding herself increasingly amused by the spunky girl....enough to want to see how she reacts to a little more needling.
"Really? I could have sworn Drayden said you were 18, though even that seems a bit older than I would have guessed," Cynthia says crossing her arms. "I have to say, dear, lying about one's age doesn't exactly scream maturity...or that someone is ready to take on something as big as challenging a region..." Cynthia says, her smile increasingly playful. Drayden raises an eyebrow. On the one hand, he can hazard a guess what Cynthia is trying to do, but on the other hand he'd been thinking himself that Iris could do to be brought down a peg or two before she sets out on her own.
