'lo, loves, how're you managing with all the littles crawling all over and shrieking like proper nestlings?

( he doesn't really care how everyone's doing. he doesn't dislike children, he just gets antsy and needs time away due to reasons no one needs to understand. )

Right, those of you looking for a bit of a walk around, we're low on lamp oil. Not just here at the lovely madams, but at the neighbouring homes. I'm heading out to track down what untended, forgotten oil we can find come midday. Anyone care to join?

( a second noted reference after a pause: )

How do you change what it says here for telling who you are to the rest of our merry band of misfits?

( ooc: see the related plot info here! i'll get a log post up at the end of the week. )

I... is it a large bag, love?

( he's not tracking why this is a firmly stated skill, that's all. )

[reparo]

Bottomless. [ And a sigh, before she explains: ] It's enchanted to be. Fits a lot more than it looks like it would, and won't show its contents to anyone but me, so...

[ clears her throat real quick, so embarrassing she knows this ]

It's good for stealing.

( Have a moment where he must pause because he is not, and has not been, more comfortable with magic: more resigned to it, and glad that down here, it makes his skin crawl less than up in Serthica proper. )

Haaa, aren't you a woman of surprises. Makes the hunt for the wheelbarrow much less relevant, as long as your bag doesn't make off without you.

[reparo]

[that's her, a woman of surprises.]

Ah, well - I can also summon it back into my hand.

[bravelyrunsaway]

... Have you worked light of finger for long in your life?

[reparo]

I'm a witch, Licyn. They're just familiar spells, given a different use.

[bravelyrunsaway]

You say witch like it's meant to have a meaning I understand that's not one bandied about here, love. It doesn't. Any who worked with magic where I'm from was called and considered a mage or magician, depending on their preference.

What I'm also hearing is magic is easily lent toward different uses. You don't create constructs, do you?

[reparo]

[ It honestly wouldn't occur to her that he'd be bothered by witches, simply because of how much magic there is to go around in this place. Corrupt, granted.

In hindsight, at least he didn't meet her fully right after the volcano. ]

Well, in that case, I am capable of wielding magic. In my world, they would call me a witch. I've met people who'd be called something else, so... anyway.

I am not sure what constructs are.

[bravelyrunsaway]

Magically crafted beings. Not altered beings, fully crafted from magic alone. They're incredibly dangerous and difficult to kill or entrap, given there's still some around since the last time they were commonly made, millennia ago. Horrible, terrible things.

[reparo]

No, I don't make those. If there were people who could create magically crafted beings in my world, they would be considered both rare and dangerous. Is that what you had, where you're from?

[bravelyrunsaway]

We did, at some point, from magicians of a kind who haven't been seen in millennia. May it stay so.

[reparo]

May it stay so, yes.
