Basch shakes his head. Wasn't something he had a huge aptitude for. "Not much, but I have enough white to be useful in a crisis." That an his quickenings, but, he'll keep that private for now. "I have some proficiency with buffs." Some. He's excellent at it. Basch can very much handle being a one-man escort for important people, not that he ever wants to be the only line of defense.

Right now, this is the best way for him to serve the young emperor. Even if he'd rather be by his side.
