Eloise
Darling, you take the high horse
and I'll take the high road
and I'll take the high road
"Acoutrements?" Eloise repeated with a smile. "Gods it's nice to speak with someone who has an actual vocabulary."
More than happy to accept, the illusionist took the offered arm and fell into an easy step at Zariah's side. Despite her own abilities when it came to magic, the former duchess was far outmatched when it came to the Grand Sorceress, making her enchantments go entirely unnoticed. "Unequal to be sure, but there seems to be no objective acknowledgement of who is at the top. The ascended believe it them...the accepted make their own claims. The hybrids, the demi-gods." Eloise rolled her eyes a touch at that, the whole idea seeming ludicrous to her.
Hearing Zariah's question and perhaps wisely interpreting it as a bit of a challenge, she took a moment to collect her thoughts. "Not unlike the Voice...I think a slow build would be best. Grooming and training magic users, as you're doing here. By the time any might think it worth calling your efforts to a halt, it would be too late." She shrugged against Zariah. "There will always be beasts that magic can best...ways of living we can improve. Where would the world be without our magic? And yet we are called abandoned. I wonder how quickly that name might change if we were to...withdraw all of our offerings."

If you're too good for us,
you'll be good riding solo
