Aaran met the king's gaze, astonished,"I had no idea. I was being stupid and showing off." He hung his head for a moment in thought then lifted it,"I..can fix it. Sometimes I have these power surges. I still can't control them very well, but I've put things back together that I've broken. I put a man back together once. If something happens out of the ordinary for me, something painful or exciting or scary, I usually have a surge. With the pendant I should be able to control the surge enough to fix the hilt." He offered quietly.

Taylor stared after him, dumbfounded, then weakly nodded,"You are the winner." She admitted softly,"Does second place get Chapstick as a prize? I think I need some."
King Racine held up his hand in front of Thorn and did a spell to temporarily block his magic. He then walked back over to Aaran. He looked him in the face and said, " Fix is sword in front of him and mend this fence. I'm tired of you two fighting. He is one of my best general and I don't want to choose a side. Thorn is neutralize for now. So make it count." He reached out and squeezed Aaran's shoulder gently, before he disappeared in a flash of light. A moment later time started.
Thorn looked to his hand in confusion. He looked around him frantically. "Where did it go?!!!" He demanded.
The other generals looked as well. Then mumbled among themselves when they couldn't find it.

Nashton belly laughed. "You mess with senior muchas smooches, you get the smooches." He said with a wink. But he saw the food blanket and handed the chicken back to Taylor. "Here you go. You can have it love." He then B-lined it to the food.
