“Making music mmmm?” Edy purred salaciously, her eyebrows bobbing just as buoyantly as her steps. “Yeah I’ve heard it called that before too.” She added with a grin, matching his wink happily.
“Right? A whole new world to discover and already some of these idiots are shacking up and professing their love like it’s the damn end of days. “ Scowling Edy shook her head, sending her impressive mane of hair waving around her. “Even if things were calm and steady, relationships seem lame.” The brief flickering of the former Overseer flashed into her mind, making Edy’s jaw clench. Case in fucking point and that hadn’t even been anything. If the potential of something was enough to annoy her now, imagine what a full on relationship could do?
Nope, nope nope. Fuck that.
“Mmmm, shitty deal.” Edy offered crassly, though the genuine nature of her concern was evident despite the bawdy nature of her words. She nibbled the inside of her lip glancing over at the bard, twitching her mouth slightly at the rather unhappy tilt of his jaw. But Edy was not one especially well practiced in comforting others (unless it was through a spar, or fucking them), so she merely diverted her gaze to where Bobi had picked up the stone like it was some small hardened rodent she’d killed. “You’re fooling no one.” Edy chuckled at the kitten, who promptly dropped the rock as casually as she could.
”Ehh, more like forced. Us Launceleyns were raised in a compound with just our own. As soon as our magical abilities developed as kids, we were immediately trained in them. Most of us had mastered at least one arcane ability by the time we were about 16 or so..” Edy’s tone and posture indicated both that she had simply accepted this practice, but also that she’d left it behind. ”But I get it. Sorta..” She said, eyes low and lips switching back and forth. “Destruction magic was ... limitless, really. I could do anything, so long as the goal was destruction. Ice, fire, explosions, disintegration...” Her smile was sad and lasted only a moment. ”So the fire is good and all, but it isn’t like how it was before. I mean, at least I have it though. Sucks that yours is all gone.” She concluded, her awkward attempt at comraderie clearly not something she was used to.
