"Magic," I respond with a grin, chuckling softly. "The stories said that the blades were forged in the breath of dragons and with magic folded into every edge," I offer an easy shrug as I too sit back and get comfortable. I let the memory of the stories linger in my thoughts, wondering if I was indeed living them, to an extent, now. I had heard in passing that there were dragons in this world too, and I knew there was magic - who knew the limits of possibility here? "It is said the steel is stronger than any other, able to break through any material, and even enchantments." They were still just stories to me, epic tales of love and disaster, of adventure and valiant knights and warriors rising up to defeat evil, of kings and queens rising and falling - but with Kia's reaction I realise perhaps there is something more behind these tales, at least in this land, such tales didn't seem so far away from reality.
"That is a good thing, and very generous - thanks," I am sure to keep my manners as I continue to find my feet in this world, at the mercy of everyone's generosity, I find myself feeling indebted to many. One day I would find a way to sufficiently return the favour, though perhaps if I were to follow the warrior's call, I would be able to do that through the strength of my arms, the accuracy of my shield or arrow. Or perhaps I would provide help in the way of medical assistance - or perhaps a blend of both.
"I'll be sure to let you know," I reassure her, smiling at the thought of future contact with the woman who was proving to be more and more interesting the more we converse. And to think, I had her picking up vegetables on the street!
"Are there any magical weapons in Caido?" I ask, curiosity bringing the thought from before back to the front of my mind, wondering if Kia had heard of such a thing before, or if her earlier interest was due to its uniqueness.
