Opinions without 3.1415 are just Onions (Week1 post trial)

After everything, the house seems almost too still and too mundane. At least as long as the doors to that room remain closed. One by one those covered in what was once their teammate are lead to the showers or change in silence. There is no warm meal waiting for them. No words of encouragement.

Life goes on, regardless.

[there's only a .05 second moment of hesitation before she finds herself smiling in a way that doesn't exactly meet her eyes]

I'd appreciate it, thank you.

I guess it doesn't matter if you sleep in late tomorrow. [ That sounds just a smidge playful, their smiles meeting. Hmmn. His intentions may have been different a second ago, but now he wastes no time in pouring her a cup. ]

Honestly, after all that? A nice long rest would be nice...

[not that she won't say no to being woken up early]

In that case, 9am then? [ A whole two hours is a huge mercy in his opinion. ]

Nine is perfect.

Don't get used to it. [ Anyway, he serves her the tea and then sits down, crossing his right left over his left. ]

I noticed before that you seemed to have some kind of backup plan during the end of trial.

Ah, you noticed?

I was thinking that the bomb, while powerful, might not be able to go through magic, so erecting a powerful barrier would have protected the most amount of people. We still would have had casualties and even have to execute another person, but it would have still been better than losing everyone.

I'd say I'm pretty attentive. [ Cause what kind of person recalls skills from the introductions without writing them down. ]

Ah, so that's part of what your magic can do, huh? Between you and Subete, we might have been able to cover most of the group.

That's right. Although it's definitely limited in comparison.

How so?

One time limited use.

So it needs to be pretty tightly managed...Subete seems pretty generous with his shields, at least.

...generous, but.

[she makes some hand gestures, clear that "generous" isn't necessarily for everyone]

If I had more gems his wouldn't be an issue.

[ He smiles, yeah maybe that's best left unsaid but his luck with Subete hasn't been too bad-yet, at least. ]

Can you use any gems or do they need to be a certain kind?

Any gems are fine as long as they don't already have magic in them.

I'll let you know if I see any, but your best bet is finding the master's bedroom, I imagine.

...Ah, yeah.

We'll just have to hope to find it soon.

[ Nod. ]

At this point our most pressing concern is our limited supply of rations rather than any immediate danger this places offers in and of itself.

Worst case scenario, we try to make sure Potage-san doesn't die -- he can replace rations for a while.

Right, the soup........ [ Shudder. ]

In that case, you're don't possess the ability to conjure magical food or drink then?

...unfortunately, no.

It truly is unfortunate, but it's not like I could do any better. [ ... ]

Our rations and backup plan will have to make do, unless we come upon a pantry or something similar.

Well, magic can't do the impossible, after all.

Mm... yeah, well. There is a pantry, apparently, but we'll just have to find it.

...isn't that the entire point of magic, though?

True Magic, yes.

But magecraft... well, the thing that most people here would call 'magic', and what I do, no. Not exactly.
