Fourteen. [Voice/Action]

[At 27, Daine hasn't really changed much. She's older, sure, and her hair is longer. She seems more confident if that can be said, but if you look at her closely you can tell that she's not happy at all. Living in the same house for ten years, with no magic, has taken its toll.]Well, then. I suppose I'm going to have to fix this turkey properly, if

You have to marinate it every so often. Otherwise it catches fire and the drones never let you live it down.

[silvestris_mage]

Marinating? Like letting it sit?

With my luck, this whole gods-blasted bird's going to catch fire.

[weaponsparked]

Er, no. You have to pull it out, and put the juice back on it. The... stuff that comes out while it's cooking.

[silvestris_mage]

...Oh. That's what you're supposed to do?

[weaponsparked]

That's what I've always done.

[silvestris_mage]

I'll try it then. You know better than I, and I certainly don't want to catch it on fire.

[weaponsparked]

Catching on fire does tend to be bad. Are you sure you'll be all right?

[silvestris_mage]

I'll be fine. If I catch on fire, I'll blame it on the drone children. I'm good at that.

[weaponsparked]

I'd honestly feel badly if they weren't... drones.

[silvestris_mage]

I'd feel horrible too, if they had some sort of emotion. I like normal kids, just not these ones.

[weaponsparked]

They're all rather... disturbing, aren't they? The drones?

[silvestris_mage]

I think they are. After such a long time, I can't stand them anymore.

[weaponsparked]

I... can believe that. But you've survived so far. Who's to say you couldn't keep on?

[silvestris_mage]

I suppose I'll just keep living. I wonder if we even die here.

[weaponsparked]

... there's a morbid thought.

[silvestris_mage]

...perhaps we should stop talking about this?
