....hullo.

[combatmagic]

Spoke to you yesterday, don't know if you'd remember.

[eiremagic]

I do.

Suppose you have questions.

[combatmagic]

Nah, your business is your business. Just whatever you'd want to tell me, love.

[eiremagic]

I didn't know you were tan.

Me da was a shithead. But it's me fam, that's all.

[combatmagic]

That a problem?

Yeah, that it is. But it ain't a good excuse for hurtin' a little girl.

[eiremagic]

It might have been.

...magic's the excuse.

[combatmagic]

You've got no reason to worry about me, here.

Usin' you little ones to amplify his own magic.

[eiremagic]

Not all of us.

Just me. And it wasn't to amp it...exactly.

[combatmagic]

You want to explain it to me?

[eiremagic]

Our magic only works with a blood sacrifice.

Private; unhackable; warded

[combatmagic]

A blood sacrifice? So what are you sacrificing it to?

Private; unhackable; warded

[eiremagic]

All magic has a cost, in my world.

That's our cost. Then when the universe moves back to place, when the spell ends, there's backlash.

[combatmagic]

That's old, deep magic, blood magic. There are easier ways to get things done where I'm from. Convincing more than pushing.

So I'm guessing with those kind of consequences you're not doing magic very often then.

Private; unhackable; warded

[eiremagic]

Only if I don't have another way.

Magic's sloppy. There are better ways to get things done.

[combatmagic]

Works pretty efficiently for me, but then, I've got more options than just blood magic. Magic is for when the SAS training just doesn't cut it.
