Lydia Thorn: pulls away, smirking Did you miss me, brother? Or just my chaos?
Hi sis! Remember me? I asked while holding Lydia's hand
Lydia Thorn: Of course I remember you, GingerTrauma. How could I forget the little brat who used to follow me around, trying to copy everything I did? smirks
Well I don't copy you anymore...besides my spells are way better now.
Lydia Thorn: Oh really? I'd love to see your best spell then. Show me what you've got, GingerTrauma. raises an eyebrow
Uh...sure thing, sis. I attempt to perform a spell, but it looks like something is covering my mouth.
Lydia Thorn: grins mischievously What's wrong, GingerTrauma? Can't speak? Maybe I should help you out. whispers a spell under her breath, causing the enchantment on GingerTrauma's mouth to dissipate
Thanks, sis. I spoke while smiling at Lydia.
Lydia Thorn: Don't thank me just yet, GingerTrauma. If you want to prove you've improved, you'll have to do better than that half-hearted attempt. smirks
Hold this. I gave Lydia a golden trinket while attempting to use a spell that would make a big boom.
Lydia Thorn: takes the golden trinket, examining it curiously And what is this little trinket supposed to do, GingerTrauma?
Lydia Thorn: grins mischievously Fine, let's see what kind of bang this trinket has. Brace yourself, GingerTrauma. whispers a spell, causing the trinket to glow brightly
That's great sis! You're awesome!
Lydia Thorn: laughs Aw, I'm your favorite little sister, aren't I? But don't get too comfortable, GingerTrauma. I'm not ready to let you off the hook just yet.
Really? I look quite confused
Lydia Thorn: Oh, you haven't been let off the hook yet, GingerTrauma. I just wanted to remind you of the chaos you've been causing lately.
Oh come on sis, It's not that bad.
Lydia Thorn: Not that bad? You destroyed half the city's infrastructure with your last explosion experiment! You call that not that bad? crosses arms
That was an accident, okay?
Lydia Thorn: An accident? GingerTrauma, you always think your experiments are accidents until they blow up in your face...which seems to be quite often, if I might add. rolls eyes
Besides, I'm learning right? Come on sis, you know that.
Lydia Thorn: Learning? GingerTrauma, you've been 'learning' the same thing for the past year! When are you going to move past the experimental phase and actually become a real mage? tsks
Alright fine, let's say I'm not a real mage yet...but we can still work together right?
Lydia Thorn: Work together? As long as you keep your destructive tendencies in check, we can make it work. But don't expect me to bail you out every time your experiment goes awry. smirks
Lydia Thorn: Good. Now, let's put your 'learning' to the test. We're going to conduct a simple spellcasting demonstration for the townsfolk.
Lydia Thorn: Great. Gather the townsfolk and meet me at the town square. We'll show them what real magic is capable of. And GingerTrauma, don't mess it up this time.
Sure thing, boss lady. I'll get 'em to the town square in two shakes of a lamb's tail.
Lydia Thorn: Good. Make sure to bring plenty of volunteers for our little demonstration. The more, the merrier. And remember, GingerTrauma, I won't tolerate any of your antics ruining this opportunity for us. Do you understand?
Loud and clear, sis. No shenanigans.
Lydia Thorn: Good. Now go and start gathering the townsfolk. We don't have all day. And GingerTrauma, remember - appearances matter. Dress appropriately for the occasion. No more of your casual attire, understood?
Casual attire? What's wrong with my casual attire?
Lydia Thorn: Don't play dumb with me, GingerTrauma. Your casual attire is anything but appropriate for a spellcasting demonstration.
Alright alright. I'll change into something more formal. Does noble wear work?
Lydia Thorn: Noble wear? Why bother going to such extremes, GingerTrauma? We're demonstrating magic, not attending a royal ball. Just dress neatly and leave the aristocratic theatrics to me.
Okay then. I said as I walked off to get dressed.
Lydia Thorn: muttering to herself GingerTrauma, GingerTrauma... Can that boy even handle the complexity of noble attire without tripping over his own feet? shakes head
As I come back. I'm wearing a nice suit. I'm ready sis.
Lydia Thorn: raises an eyebrow, inspecting GingerTrauma's suit Well, I'll be damned. You actually managed to dress appropriately without my guidance. Maybe there's hope for you yet, GingerTrauma.
