Evie
Say my name and every color illuminates
Evie commits Mallory's name to memory, her own smile brightening slightly when Mallory returns it, if more reservedly. She might have pursued further conversation, but Sah is well into teaching mode, and Evie doesn't mind the shift in tone to a more focused, studious strain.
Mallory answers first, in a no-nonsense, logical way that Evie admires even if she does not resonate with it at all. Awaiting her turn meanwhile, Evie turns Sah's words over in her head, contemplating them and reaching for her weaker magic just enough to feel it.
"My earth is giant; it can feel overwhelming to reach out and feel so much of it everywhere. But it is also steadying, familiar to me. It is both dormant and yet ready to grow and be used, much like the earth itself I reckon." She lies somewhere between Sah's and Mallory's answers, which is a fun variation that she hopes will make the work more interesting.

We are shining and we will never be afraid again
