Which is, naturally, a perfectly reasonable stipulation.

I don't know if you've charted similarly troubled waters, but discussing the nature of Thedosian magic with anyone with any intelligence on the subjects - mages, I mean - has been as like throwing myself on a series of sharp rocks in hopes of finding a suitable place to sleep for all that anyone cares to discuss the subject with a Rifter. Nevermind that I might be perfectly willing to answer any questions or prove the merit of my interest to them. Did you know I attempted to conduct a study and Matthias demanded that I pay him for it or else would say nothing? Honestly."
That he has not rushed down the stairwell available before them is a most optimistic sign indeed. She absently wipes her snake-hand on her skirt, but otherwise her attention is fixed right back up at him.
