The illusionist wrinkled her nose a touch at that. "Mm I'm just it's her powerful magic that you're happy to have in your back pocket." Surprisingly this was said without jealousy. Settling easily against him, the feel and smell of him as familiar as the fingers against her hair, Eloise merely shrugged. "Mmm that I do." That salt was bad for bows merely made the once-duchess shrug. Hers was not a body particularly made for physical feats of strength.

Tugging the illusion back up, Eloise stretched up her fingers to poke at Saiden's nose. "Don't you get all huffy about it. It was my own fault and I'm fine. Still though...I want one of those cats.."
