[RQ] The rest of the world is black and white

She's the light in a dark room
She smiles with her eyes and it'll hold you

“I’m more of a grapefruit fan, but that just means more for me!” Evie grins over her shoulder as she bounces a gem in her hand jauntily before dropping it into her bag, like a particularly self-satisfied thief instead of a sweaty taskmaster. “There’s a great cafe I know of - they won’t have anywhere to change, but gross as it is I can evaporate our sweat magically before we go in?” It makes her cringe a little to say, but she laughs her way through it because it’s surely better than looking bedraggled and risking getting turned away at the door. 

Evie stifles a laugh as she sorts through the gems currently in her bag, determining the odds of success given the strange cast of lighting. She certainly doesn’t want to have to trudge back in again. “That’s the real issue with being Abandoned - Frey is the most amenable to us, but likely wouldn’t see a need for a leash!” And given Evie’s over-familiarity with death, she isn’t much of a Ludo follower. Drat. 

It’s no surprise Sah has helped her in her lightning journey given his own expertise, and Evie is deeply proud to hear of their combined proactiveness. “That’s amazing! Telekinesis is so versatile, you’ll find an application for it almost everywhere.” Evie has certainly done so, from fighting to pranks to everyday household tasks. “Well I’m a terrible recruiter but if you’re ever interested, I’d be happy to enroll you as a student at the Academy. Our numbers are a bit low so I haven’t been hosting many sessions - but don’t let that pressure you either!” Evie doesn’t want her to join to avoid feeling guilty over enabling the hiatus the academy has been on. Eager minds are the best sponges she’s found. 

Turning from the wall, she moves back toward Elizabeth and touches the stone to command the earth to part from the spiky cluster the woman seems intent on, all resistance vanishing. “I think that’s plenty even if we have a few duds. Wanna get out of here?” Her grin is akin to a schoolgirl proposing playing hooky instead of a regal allowance from a Warden. That sort of ruling isn’t her style even if she didn’t feel much more friendly toward Elizabeth naturally.

She's a bullet that's about to fire
And she's the steady that will keep you sane

Evie
