"Oh you've upgraded yourself from Isla's assistant to doctor, huh?" Edy trilled in response, clearly pleased beyond words that Jigano had bothered to pull at this particular thread. Flashing him a dazzling white smile, Edy rolled her shoulders and raised a brow. "All I know is that there are much more fun things to do with fingers, middle or otherwise, than convey an insult." She cackled happily, her dark eyes alight with mischief and merriment. She couldn't tell if she loved or hated it (that was a lie, she loved it) that Jigano had the mind to know when she tried to drudge him into the gutters with her, but the wit to somehow amusingly avoid it every time. Still, she vowed one day he'd tumble all the way with her. "Point made. I'll be sure to wound some uninteresting and unimportant part of me instead."
"Mmmm, another good point." She hummed thoughtfully. "I never really wanted to get married, but as a Launceleyn it was just the sort of thing you had to do. Usually it was arranged, hence the magic requirement." Her tone was cavalier, her expression vaguely uninterested. "Guess here I don't have to worry about that anymore. Which is great, cause—" Scooping the kitten up into her arms (Bobi yowling in unwelcome surprise), Edy flashed Jigano a smile. "—relationships seem like the worst."
"Whoa damn." The teenager purred, clearly awestruck. You didn't come from an impressive line of mages without having a healthy respect from the craft, and from what Jigano had just outlined, he'd been powerful as all fuck at one point. "And you don't have any of it anymore?" Jigano might have hid his wince, so Edy offered a comically pained expression on his behalf.
Kicking a rock (which Bobi scrambled out of her arms to pounce on), Edy shrugged. "Uhh, things like illusion or destruction—I was a destructionist—annddd...mystics, healers, summoners, conjurers...Other than your thing about nudging fate, it seems pretty similar. Only like..if you were a dark magic user, you could never do light magic stuff and vice-versa." Holding out her hand for the bard to see, there was an ugly and jagged scar on her wrist. "When you master a dark art, like destruction, you stop being able to be healed at all." Youthfully her shoulders rose and fell quickly, no longer burdened by this limitation
