I bet. I guess I'm lucky, Soren's been here for quite some time, so he's already used to what he can and can't do here.

( especially as a former mage. he does wonder if his friend misses being able to cast magic the way he could before, and it's never come up. ranulf doesn't want to prod a sensitive spot, after all. )

Hm. Why? What's wrong with the winter? I'm sure you could find some kind of scarf or earmuffs to cover... well, as much exposed ear as possible.
