[I think half the reason I exist canonically is to poke elves. What're the odds of me sticking out my head right now?]

You're going to get sick if you don't at least put up a shield or something.

[leaveittolloyd]

No, I won't.

... But what sort of shield are you talking about?

[shutup_vlad]

I'm getting cold just looking at you, you know.

This kind of shield? [a few second's concentration, a yank of power from the Imperial Orb, and have a nice forcefield umbrella.]

[leaveittolloyd]

I assure you, it's much colder actually being-

[oh, hey, umbrella] ... I see.

[shutup_vlad]

Which is why I'll stay in here, if it's all the same to you.

You're welcome.

[leaveittolloyd]

... Thank you.

[shutup_vlad]

Of course. I'm Vlad Taltos, by the way.

[leaveittolloyd]

Yuan. What sort of magic is this? [points at umbrella thing]

[shutup_vlad]

Sorcery. Just a bit of energy from the Orb, and only really strong enough for rain, but it gets the job done.

[leaveittolloyd]

The Orb?

[shutup_vlad]

The Orb. It's the property of the Empress, but all the Houses of Dragaera have access to it.

[leaveittolloyd]

And how does it provide you with power, exactly?

[shutup_vlad]

It's got a lot of it?

[leaveittolloyd]

I see.

[doesn't, actually]

[shutup_vlad]

[sighs. Sorcery is not my magic of choice, you know.]

It channels the amporphia of the Great Sea into something that's safer and easier to use.

[leaveittolloyd]

And the amprophia of the Great Sea is...?
