[Training] Something old, something new

Maea I'm reaching out wide trying to catch myself before I fall The rock singled past the woman, but the spark did not manage to adhere to its surface. Maea nodded, remembering how she had struggled to catch things herself in the beginning. Rex didn't have the right kind of ability for it either, but it was fine. She just caught the rock when it was passed back, and bounced it casually before sending it över once more. This time the arch was higher, the descent slower; maybe that would make ut easier for her company to attach the sparkler. "Attuned? Yeah, it's a race, sort of. They can shift into animals... some can do partway shifts too. That's why I thought... But if you never heard of it then be probably wasn't one." Maea didn't consider that if one race was unknown to Rexanna, then all of them would be. So she didn't elaborate, too distracted by the mention of the gourds. It had her wince and nod, the peculiar mutations too vividly remembered. "I've never seen anything like it... They hurt a few of our sheep, and ran amok for weeks before Deepfrost came. Weird things... too many strange occurrences have happened lately. I wonder why." Some said it was because of the Outlanders, but Maea didn't believe that. She was more inclined to think it was brought on by whomever had let the Outlanders in... and the Old Gods pointed at The Voice.
