The young man seemed to have a slight scowl on his face as his conversation was interrupted by Keldir, and Keldir gave no heed to the annoyed expressions of the group.

When the man said "Its never to late to start studying magic", Keldir gave out as short laugh as he tried to suppress it but he found it rather amusing that some young mage, probably a apprentice of one of the teachers at the College, would make such a comment to the likes of Keldir, a master of the arcane. This muffeled laugh turned the look of annoyance of the groups faces to one more akin to confusion as they probably now thought Keldir as some sort of madman, which he was not.

After the young man departed from his friends and bid them goodbye, Keldir gave the man a slightly, and only slightly, better greeting 
"Thank you boy, I appreciate your kindness. The name is Keldir by the way, might I know yours?"
