Welcome to Gaia! ::

Maiya is afraid of getting hurt by people and Faera doesnt want people to hurt her so they are on the same when it comes to not meeting new people so i think those two will get along great

One thing I think I need to explain but won't be explained in character because Malik doesn't know this about his magic. The way his spells work. He has base spells each with four elemental forms. So his ward spell that protects an area, each form protects the area from a different element. Another example is his walking spell. The one that he used its air form when he first arrived and its water form when he went to the lake he is currently at.

He thinks they are all separate spells and that he is confined to the spells of elements. When in fact he has a potential to a wider variety of spells then he considers himself to have but they are used in elemental forms.

No problem; I had academic things to take care of anyhow. How did your job interview go?

Yes, indeed. But it's fine; there's no avoiding life no matter how much you want to.

I feel like what Kreiva is doing is like putting her fingers in her ears and going lalalalala. All she is doing is not paying attention to what she is being told. And she missed the how to be left alone clause, though I suppose that is explained by the panic. This will be fun, I'm writing my post at the moment.

That's the thing, from Silivene's perspective there is no mental attack, just projecting her thoughts to someone else, like talking but mind to mind instead of voice to ear. The signal Silivene was asking for was about the only way Silivene would know that she was heard. She won't even be able to tell if Kreiva is blocking her out.

About the mask, I was just guessing and I hope I didn't get it wrong. But if it is magical or enchanted then Silivene would have noticed it. I've been assuming it was, so if I am wrong, I'm sorry I've been meaning to ask and haven't. If the mask isn't magical at all, then Silivene could still figure out that there was something that Kreiva was hiding. Kreiva was trying to get them to leave with a story that Silivene knew was false to begin with and wasn't trying to just ask them to leave and explain why. Kreiva then used her magic to try to fool them into leaving, so Silivene knew it wasn't her magic and most likely not herself she was hiding. As well it was not the lake she was protecting because the way she was using the lake for her trick, if her target didn't leave it would make them more interested in the lake. Therefore, most likely something she carried she was protecting.

Silivene's sensitivity to magic and her ability understand it come from years of experience with it and amplified by her bond with Malik. This is the thing that will improve as their synchronicity raises.

I hope this explains where my characters are coming from, these have been the thoughts going through my mind about this. The only time in character that these thoughts would have come out would be if Silivene had explained them to Malik, and I hadn't considered including them as part of Silivene's thoughts, I've been mainly focusing on Malik's point of view.

I'll do replies tomorrow.
