Was that...some form of power of yours?

[sorcerously]

It--yes, it was. I'm terribly sorry.

[soldieringblue]

Ah-no, you shouldn't...[hm.] What you did just then was very beautiful.

[sorcerously]

[Shock!]

--It was?

[soldieringblue]

Yes. I've never seen anything like it. Did the room physically change, or...?

[sorcerously]

Erm, no. It was just the magic. It was an illusion.

[soldieringblue]

[a faint, thoughtful sound.] I've listened to many people speak about magic here, but...I'm not sure I entirely grasp what it all means. Either way, what you did seemed very beautiful to me. It seems like a wonderful gift.

[sorcerously]

[Okay, there's something of a smile in her voice.]

I... am glad you think so.

[soldieringblue]

Would it be alright to ask why you were doing so? What those changes were for?

[sorcerously]

[sorcerously]

It's alright, truly.

[soldieringblue]

[a small sound in response, lapsing into pensive silence. how does i conversation. perhaps he should duck out.]

Then...I will thank you for what I've seen, even though it wasn't intentional. And I will hope nothing else comes up that causes you trouble; I believe there's been enough of that for us all.

[sorcerously]

[She gives something of a little laugh.]

You are welcome, I suppose. And I hope so, too.
