Debating The Finer Points Of Hunting
Status

OOC moments
:: this color text :: Rashida: *notices a male that looks similar to the one she's already conversed with, cautiously approaches*
Semirr: [Is looking around the shop in wonderment, having never been here before]
Rashida: *pauses, tail twitching and unsure of what to do next; does she greet him or he greet her?; stands there, a little awkward, trying to make up her mind*
Semirr: [Notices a sound and looks up at the stranger, blinking]
Rashida: *caught just standing there and probably looking a little silly; blinks and clears her throat a little self-consciously* Ah, hello. You look similar to someone I have conversed with before. *tail twitches a little, wondering why socializing has to seem so difficult*
Semirr: [Blinks] You've met my brother, maybe...? [He pulls his wings in closer, at once fascinated by her animal-like appearance and frightened of her femininity]
Rashida: It is possible. I did not get his name, but you two have similar hair styles. *glances at the male's wings* His wings were demonic, though.
Semirr: [Nods] My brother, Arase, if the hair was purple. [Fidgets with the bow he carries in one hand] Um...I'm Semirr?
Rashida: I'm Rashida. *debates attempting to smile, but decides not to cause that would probably just be scary; notices Semirr's bow* You hunt with that?
Semirr: [Nods] I'm a hunter...Rashida. My brother prefers to fight, but I'd rather just hunt. And...you?
Rashida: I'm a lioness, so you could say hunting was always my calling. *eyes the bow* Though I prefer to use fang and claw as my weapons.
Semirr: Ah. [He fidgets again with his bow] I have not my father's claws, so I am...limited. To my bow. [He peers at her paws curiously] You must have quite large ones...
Rashida: *flexes her claws, glances down at them* They always seemed average size to me, so I couldn't really say. Regardless of their size, it's a matter of much practice to be able to properly use them. *again glances at the bow, but with a bit more curiousity* Are you not worried that thing will break, perhaps when you need it most?
Semirr: [Straightens up] If I care for it properly, it will not break. [Gives a very soft smile] It may still break, though. If that happens, I will have to take my chances. I am a hunter, though, not a fighter.
Rashida: *lips twitch in a smile* True, but sometimes fights just have a way of finding you at the most inconvient moment. I've never been involved in one myself, but I tend to spend a lot of time on my own.
Semirr: [Looks at the ground, then back up, saying in a soft voice of protest] I know a little self defense...
Rashida: *tilts her head ever so slightly, tail twitches* Oh? What kind of defense?
Semirr: Just...Defense against grappling.
Rashida: Perhaps one day we can fight then, as practice to keep your skill sharp. *small smile* I've grown so used to hunting beasts with little thought in their heads that I myself might begin to forget how to fight an intelligent opponent.
Semirr: [Shakes his head quickly] I am not a warrior! Just a hunter. I leave the fighting for the ones who are good at it.
Rashida: *seems puzzled at Semirr's reaction* It's just practice. Not like a real fight. If nothing else the exercise is always good for you.
Semirr: [Nods reluctantly] Alright. I don't fight much, though.
Rashida: *actually chuckles, a quiet sound* Well it doesn't have to be right now, anyway. I promise, it'll be more like exercise and keeping your body limber than an actual fight.
Semirr: Oh. Then yes, that would be a lot of...fun. I'll look forward to it. ^^
Geyser Eelborn: Kiddo, did your father ever tell you how he met your mother...?
jinxgirl5: I imagine he didn't, but I bet it would be an interesting story XD
Rashida: *nods, then shifts a little* So.... *actually looks a tad self-conscious* I'm not really sure what to say now. I'm not what you'd call a conversationalist.
Geyser Eelborn: Basically, the first date his parents ever went on was a sparring match. Arazir is probably going to be protective of his boys around warrior women, for fear they'll run into more men-hating amazons.
Semirr: Me neither. I don't get out much. Too busy training. Um.
jinxgirl5: XD Rashida would give him such an offended look if he ever voiced that worry.
Rashida: *doesn't seem that much better off than Semirr; moment of silence passes between them, then she gestures at the bow again* What sort of things do you hunt with that?
Geyser Eelborn: I imagine she would!
Semirr: This and that. Rabbits, deer, birds. Not good enough yet to shoot fish. That's tricky.
Rashida: *looks a little taken aback* You can shoot fish with that thing?
Semirr: If you're very skilled, yes. Things underwater appear...differently. They're never where you think they should be. And you need different arrows and techniques.
Rashida: I see. I don't really fish, not too fond of the water *makes a face*. There's plenty of game on the land for me to hunt, so I never bothered trying.
Semirr: [Shrugs] I'm not as fond of water as some. I like to watch it, though, and it's fun to swim in on a warm day. But if you don't like water, then yes, a bow. For me, mostly, it's an act to practice, though.
Rashida: We don't really have a whole lot of water where I'm from. One of the jobs of the lionesses is to take stock of the land, keep an eye on water sources and the herds who use them. *shakes her head* Even after the rainy season you don't really want to go in the water. We've got crocs.
Semirr: I come from here, but my father comes from the jungle. There's always water there. How big are the crocodiles where you come from?
Rashida: *chews on lip* Well I don't usually get close too them, but pretty big. *thinks for a moment* I guess nine feet is about average, but some are even bigger.
Semirr: [Blinks] That is big. How do you avoid them?
Rashida: Not that hard. Most of the time they're in the water. Sometimes they come on the land to sit in the sun, but they're so slow and they don't really venture far from the water anyway. When you have to cross the water, or go to get a drink... *shrugs* Well it's part knowing what to look for, and part luck.
Semirr: What do you look for, then?
Rashida: Claw marks on the bank usually indicate the area is a popular sunning spot, and can also tell you how big the beast sunning was. Areas that are popular for herds to drink, or cross, because that's where the food is. If you watch the water sometimes you see them coming close or above the surface. After awhile you just kinda recognize the spots most likely to be dangerous.
Semirr: I'll have to watch out for that, if I ever hunt in your lands. Are there any crocodiles around here?
Rashida: *scrapes her claws against the ground, shakes her head* I do not know for certain, having never left my home lands. I've been told there are such beasts in the jungles as well. They prefer warmth and wet lands. I've been told you can find them, or a beast much like them called an alligator, in much of the world. More than that, I couldn't really say.
Semirr: I know we have kanagir* in the jungles, but I don't think they're as big as your crocodiles.
Geyser Eelborn: *caiman
Rashida: I've never heard of them before, so maybe. It could also be that we just don't have any where I live in particular. *tiny smile* As dangerous as the crocodiles sound though, they're nothing compared to the river horses.
Semirr: [Tilts his head] River horses? How could they be more fearsome than crocodiles?
Rashida: They're giant beasts, bigger than crocodiles and will attack you with no warning simply because you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. They are brutal creatures who will savage you until you are beyond dead. It is out of pure malice though, because river horses are plant eaters. They also move quite fast on land, though they can't stay out of the water for too long because they are so big.
Semirr: O.O How do you fight them, then?
Rashida: *raises an eyebrow* You don't. You stay as far away from water horses as possible. Only a fool would seek them out.
Semirr: [Nods] Not even from a distance? [He strokes his bow]
Rashida: *snorts* You think a stick with a pointy end is gonna take down a water horse? Their hides are tough and most of their head is mouth. It would have to be the luckiest shot ever to take one down
Semirr: Many hunters, and not a bow. Spears would do more damage.
Rashida: *raises eyebrow, then shakes head* I can't see that ending well. You'd have to get really close to use a spear, and water horses move a lot quicker than their bulk implies. They could easily snap a spear just flailing around.
Semirr: Oh. [Sighs] Pity. They sound like they would taste good.
Rashida: *blinks* I've never thought they looked all that tasty, at least not for the trouble you'd have to go through to kill one. *thinks for a moment, tail slowly swishing on the ground behind her* I suppose you could always try for one that's mortally wounded though, if it's come up on land to die. It's a rare occurance, but sometimes there are crocs that can get the best of a water horse.Still sifting through backlog, left off here

Something New To Show You
Status
:: done ::
OOC moments
:: this color text :: Semirr: [Thoughtfully sitting in the rafters, sharpening a spear; an atl-atl has been thrust into his quiver today]
Rashida: -She wandered out into the common space, though wandered wasn't quite the proper term; she tended to stalk or ghost into places, since every move she made was more deliberate than "wandering" and she was always watching her surroundings. Speaking of, she spotted someone familiar. She quietly padded up to sit under Semirr and looked up at him, tail twitching behind her; it was comically reminiscent of a cat watching a bird.-
Semirr: [After some time, the hunter noticed the lioness watching him from below. Seeing that it was a friend of his, he slid the spear into a carrier on his back to join three fellows and flew down to sit down beside her.] Rashida! A thousand happy greetings to see you again. How is the hunting? [He gave her a rare smile and slid a little closer to her.]
Rashida: -She graced Semirr with one of her own rare smile.- "It goes quite well. I have made many fine catches since we last met." -She gave her head a curious tilt, spotting the spears on his back.- How goes it for you?
Semirr: [Semirr nodded.] As have I. I have been practicing new techniques for hunting. [He reached into his arrow quiver and pulled out an atlatl decorated with swirling carvings of stylized birds and leaves.] And I have made this. Do you know what it is? [His smile grew wider and decidedly more impish. He wanted her to guess.]
Rashida: -She examined the offered object.- "A spear?" That seems the most obvious answer, but for anything specific I am afraid I do not know."
Semirr: [He shook his head.] No, it's an atlatl. A spear thrower. For throwing a spear harder and from a longer distance. It's for hunting dangerous prey. [His grin grew, if anything, even wider, and he began to wiggle back and forth. She'd figure out what he was talking about soon enough.] My father taught me how to make one and how to use it. I'm getting very good at it.
Rashida: -She thought back to the conversation they had last time when talking about different hunting methods and predators/prey.- "You're not thinking of hunting crocodiles or hippos with that, are you?"
Semirr: [He nodded in enthusiasm--she remembered!] Not alone, of course. I would need other hunters to help me. And of course, the time, place, and target would all need to be carefully selected, the spears made for just the right combination of weight and speed to the target. They must be thrown straight and true. So it's an ongoing project, certainly. And of course, observance must be made of the preys' habits.
Rashida: -She eyed the atlatl doubtfully, despite Semirr's enthusiasm.- "I can't see how that bit of wood would make much different..." -She tried to remember that Semirr was the expert in weapons, not her.- "Could I ask for a demonstration?"
Semirr: [He nodded and stood up, slipping it back into the quiver among the arrows.] Of course. But we'll need to find a place less populated. I don't want to hurt someone. There should be some space outside. The edge of the woods, where it isn't so thick, should be good.
Rashida: -She nodded.- "That sounds agreeable." -She turned and walked with Semirr, occasionally casting the weapons on his back speculative looks.- "If you have those, where is your bow. It didn't break did it?"
Semirr: ...Yes. But even if I had a bow, I would consider it silly to carry a bow with me when I'm laden with spears. [He glanced briefly at the quiver full of arrows.] Though don't ask me what madness possessed me to bring my arrows without my bow today.
Rashida: -She gave Semirr a brief look of sympathy.- "A shame. I suppose you could make another one, though I imagine a good one will take time." -She gave the spears another glance.- "Those at least appear to be much easier to make."
Semirr: [He nodded, feeling rather embarrassed about it all, especially since last time she had warned him that a bow could be fragile and break at an inopportune moment.] Yes, a new bow will take time. My father is showing me how to make one. In the meantime, I am getting more and more practice with spears. It's useful for taking down big animals, though there isn't much in the way of big animals around here.
Rashida: "You should visit my homeland sometime then. We have many large animals that you could probably use those things on to practice with." -If they proved to be as effective as Semirr enthused them to be. Maybe it was because she preferred to rely in her own strength over weapons. She had to see to believe what those points sticks could do.-
Semirr: Yes. About that. [He turned towards her.] I'd love to visit your homeland someday. Maybe soon? Or at least as soon as I have my bow. If. You don't mind or anything.
Rashida: -She shook her head.- "I don't mind at all." -Next she tilted her head slightly, a hint of a smile playing about her mouth.- "You might find it very strange if you've never been to a savannah before. Not many trees, a lot of tall grass and open space, and quite dry until the rainy season starts."
Semirr: [He thought about that description for a while. No rain? No trees? It would certainly be strange, and he would probably stand out like a sore thumb. No matter.] I would still like to see it, even if I find it strange. My father says that it would be good to get out to see the world and not get too attached to one place.
Rashida: -She nodded slowly.- "That...makes sense, I suppose." -She turned her gaze out over the unfamiliar terrain and trees, a tiny frown on her face.- "This is the closest I've ever come to leaving my homeland before."
Semirr: [He looked around at the surrounding landscape. For the first time, he wondered how often she came here.] Why did you leave your home? I...was "born" here. This is the only home I've ever known. Why do you leave your home for here?
Rashida: -Her voice became a little sharp.- "I didn't leave my home!" -She seemed to realize she was jumping on Semirr for an innocent question, and softened her tone and demeanor.- "I just kind of appear here. Like a dream, except I know it's real. When I choose to "wake up", I'll be back home." -She looked only mildly unsettled about this; magic wasn't in her family, or Semirr's, she assumed, so she chalked it up to something else that just pulled her to where other Noodles were whenever she had her conversations with people outside her family.-
Semirr: [He flinched at her harsh words and stopped in his tracks, realizing his mistake in asking her something that seemed to bother her. She spoke of magic? She was probably a mage like Ebony, and he did not want to make a witch angry. He had heard stories! And not just about angering a witch--he'd heard stories about angering a woman, and as easy as it was to talk to Rashida and spend time with her, he was in need of a wakeup call. Rashida was a woman, and that meant she was danger and unpredictability incarnate. He shook himself out and faced forward, not meeting her eyes with his own. His wings were now pulled in defensively against his body, and he replied in a stiff tone of voice.] Oh. I am sorry. I did not mean to offend you. I was unaware you were a masitri, a magic-user. There is nothing shameful about that, of course, but I was caught offguard. [He looked around at their surroundings, still careful not to look Rashida in the eye.] This looks like a good place.
Rashida: -She sighed quietly, her own shoulders a little stiff. Well now she'd done it. They'd been having a normal conversation, the most normal she could ever really claim to have with someone not related to her (and even more normal than some of the conversations she did have with those related to her!), and she'd gone and screwed it up by getting defensive. She should just save the world some trouble now and find the most deserted piece of savannah outside the pride lands; better to become a solitary hermit than to have pride and bitterness warp her into something tainted. She knew she should apologize to Semirr, but couldn't think of what to say. Words had never been her strong suit.- "I don't have magic. I'm just a huntress, nothing more." -How did she even try to explain that one away? Was being able to appear here magic? She'd just assumed it was something all Noodles did, and how those from very different places could meet when they otherwise might not have. She'd never paid much attention to her surroundings except to note they weren't "normal" to her like home was. If she'd thought about it more, would they have appeared to be in a land similar to her home? She hunched in on herself, tail close to her body and lion-like ears flat to her skull. Why did everything have to be so complicated?-
Semirr: [So...she wasn't a masitri? He wasn't sure anymore, and he was getting increasingly nervous in the female's presence. He'd avoided females until now (not easy in a house full of females, or considering that his father was friends with Ebony and her daughters and granddaughters)--what did they do? Did they attack males they didn't like? Did they abandon them to die? That's what his own mother had done. Probably normal for them. His father had said that his mother was a warrior, a huntress--maybe all huntresses did that. Why couldn't they be normal, like hunters?!] Oh. I see. [He set his quiver down and pulled out the atlatl. He was no longer excited.] Pick a target.
Rashida: -She sat, tail curled close around her body. Was there a point to this anymore? She already appeared to have freaked Semirr out; the whole reason she'd asked for a demonstration was the possibility that they might go hunting together if he visited her lands. She doubted he'd want her around now.- "It doesn't matter, anything you think is a challenge." -She tried to at least pay attention rather than act like she was sulking or pouting.-
Semirr: [He paused at the way she said it. It sounded like she was trying to be a good sport, but was unhappy about something. Would she leave him now? Mentally, he cursed himself for having gotten attached to a female. She was probably going to leave him now because he'd offended her. He lowered the carved piece of wood.] Rashida, have I offended you? [Now he dared look her in the eye. He was probably about to get attacked, but he was armed, wasn't he? He could defend himself.]
Rashida: -She actually looked a little startled at the question Semirr posed to her.- "What? No." -She was the first one to break eye contact, ruby eyes glancing to the side as she fidgeted uncomfortably; she was not good at this kind of thing at all.- "I just....thought you were upset with me." -Another fidget.- "I tend to let my pride overrule my manners and snap at people without thinking, like I did just a bit ago. I.....it-," -She shrugged helplessy, still not meeting Semirr's eyes.- "I don't have many friends, because of it."
Semirr: [He paused and gave this thought. Maybe it was just a one-time thing? Well, okay, she'd said it was a bad habit, but was this common? He didn't know, and he was suddenly a little bit frightened in her presence. Best to not let it show. His voice was soft and solemn] Oh. I thought you were angry at me, and that I'd said something upsetting. [He returned to his spear-throwing stance.] Do you think I could hit the knot on the tree over there?
Rashida: -Once she had finished explaining she risked glancing at Semirr ead his body language. It didn't look like her explanation had helped; if anything, it seemed to make it worse! Her ears drooped a little further. She knew it, pride was going to be her ultimate downfall. And as soon as she had that thought, something inside her dug in its heels and rebelled. Well, why couldn't she be proud? What was so wrong with pride? All lions were proud in their own way; heck, a group of lions was labeled as "pride". That spark felt like it lit a fire under her, and her ears snapped back up and she whipped her head around to look at Semirr.- "Why are you acting like you're suddenly afraid of me? I'm still the same person I was when we were talking a moment ago, you just happened to uncover another side of who I am." -She frowned a little, wondering just Semirr was acting this way. The atlatl demonstration seemed to be temporarily forgotten.-
Semirr: [The hunter gave up and put his equipment away. All that would happen today was a talk. He wished, oh how he wished now, that they could go back to the innocent friendship they'd had before today!] You...I do not know what you are going to do, Rashida. It worries me. [He took a deep breath--he shouldn't be telling her this, but he felt like it needed to be said.] My brother and I...were left by our mother when we appeared. We don't know why. So I'm just a little...nervous. And...feeling...alone. [He stared at his feet. It was hard to talk right now.] I do not want to lose your friendship. I have so very few.
Rashida: -Her frown deepened a little in confusion as she tried to figure out just how mother-issues tied into what she'd done that could have made him nervous. It couldn't be from when she snapped, or at least it didn't seem likely, not if his mom abandoned him and his brother before they'd gotten to know her personally. The cause, pride, seemed just as unlikely, and for the same reasons.- "I don't....understand. How do I enter into this? Just what exactly did I do that brought this on?"
Semirr: [He sighed--why couldn't he explain this?] You snapped at me. I'm...worried now that you'll do something unpredictable. Like she did. She left no explanation, and I feel like I'll never understand why she did what she did. Why any...why anyone does what they do.
Geyser Eelborn: He doesn't want to admit he's afraid of women. [COUGH]
Rashida: -For the first time in her life, Rashida looked utterly and completely baffled.- "You're afraid of me...because I unexpectedly snapped at you?" -She just stared blankly at the male, though the urge to bury her face in her paws was growly more and more appealing by the moment.- "Ugh. Okay, let's see if I can't explain this." -She paused, thinking and getting her words in order.- "Well first, I snapped at you cause you hit a touchy point with me. Family and home are kind of a big deal to me and it all seems to be falling apart right now. I shouldn't have growled at you for it, I wasn't thinking." -She sighed and looked off to the side, trying not to let the unhappiness of her family situation swamp her.- "As for not knowing what I might do next, well shouldn't you try getting to know me? How do I know you're not secretly coo-coo and going to jab me with one of your pointy sticks?" -She shrugged.- "That's kind of the whole point to what we're doing right now isn't it, learning things about each other?"
Semirr: [He looked up at Rashida and nodded. What she said...made sense, now that he thought about it. He wondered how he would have reacted if someone had asked him why he only had one parent--he probably lashed out, too. And what she said made sense--he'd forgotten that in the short time they'd known each other, they'd hardly gotten to know each other all that well. With that in mind, he set down his equipment and sat down, looking up at her.] What is happening with your family? If you can talk about it. I promise not to jab you with one of my pointy sticks.
Rashida: -She fidgeted in place a little, looking away a little. Not because she was ashamed, but she found the happenings in her family troubling.- "My grandparents broke up. I don't really see my sisters or brother anymore. I think even my parents might be breaking up, but I don't know for sure." -She gave Semirr a really weak smile.- "I'm too scared to ask and find out for sure."
Semirr: Oh. [He nodded.] I can see how that would make you upset. Is there...anything I can do...?
Rashida: -She shook her head.- "There's not really anything that can be done about it." -Sighing, she brushed some of her hair out of her face.- "Just...sorry if I snap at you again about it. I don't ever mean to, sometimes I can't keep a guard on my tongue."
Semirr: [He nodded and stood up again.] And I will try to be more forgiving. [With that, he picked up his stuff and slung it on his back. They might as well "hang out" (as his housemates called it) somewhere else. Preferably someplace warmer.] Is there something you would like to do, Rashida? Something we can do together to maybe get your heart...well, to get it off of the ground? [He decided at the last minute that the idiom he was going to use, "get your heart out of it," would come out wrong. The literal translation didn't sound good--he should have gone for the local idiom "get your mind off of things." They meant the same thing, but didn't sound the same.]
Rashida: "That sounds agreeable." -She stood, tail uncurling away from her body.- "I don't know of anything off the top of my head. I'm afraid I don't get out to do much besides hunting or just walking through my territory. Is there anything you find enjoyable to do?"
Semirr: [He shook his head.] Me neither. I'm not very social, not many friends. I mostly hunt or explore. There are some nice places around, but it's nicer when the weather's nicer, if that makes any sense.
Rashida: "It does." -She tried to think of something they could do that might be enjoyable.- "I can't really think of anything off the top of my head. There are places I know people sometimes go into, shops and stuff, but-" -She made a little face.- "-I dunno how fun that could be.
Semirr: [He made a face and shook his head] I can't think of anything I could want in any of those shops and stuff. I only go to the shop because it's a social place, and I might meet people. [He didn't add "might meet you."]
Rashida: -She rolled her shoulders in a shrug.- "Aside from those weird moments when I'm somewhere else, like now, I've never left home. I've never really had a friend to do something with either, so I'm at a loss of where we can go around here."
Semirr: [He thought about it for a while and glanced at his wings contemplatively] I...I wonder if I could visit you. In person, someday. It would probably be a long way, but I wonder if I could do it?
Rashida: -She looked around and for the first time tried to guess how far she really was from home if this was the place Semirr lived.- "I don't think it would be an easy journey. Certainly not a fast one, though better if you had only your feet to move you forward." -Pauses to give her own feet a glance, a small smile quirking her lips up for a moment, then looked back up at Semirr.- "I think if it was something you really wanted to do, you could accomplish it. You don't seem like the type to quit when you've made up your mind."
Semirr: [He nodded and smiled slowly] When my bow is made--I don't know when that will be, but I've been working on it for a few months, so not that much longer--I could come find you? You could show me your home. Then we could have something to do with each other. You're right. I don't give up when I set my mind to do something.
Rashida: -Nods, then smiles.- "I sure hope you can see a lot of detail from an ariel view, cause my homeland colors are made up of a lot of brown." -She flicked a very brown tail attached to a very brown body.- "You might have trouble spotting me."
Semirr: I can fly around for a while to find you. I can follow my nose and track you, as well.
Rashida: -Nods, since this makes sense to her.- "I hope to see you in my actual home sometime soon then." -She tilted her head a little, seeming amused.- "Of course you could always try a reverse of this strange travel thing and visit me like I apparently visit you, to get an idea of what you'd be in for."
Semirr: I could ask for help? I don't know how you do it, so I don't know how I could do it. Perhaps Ebony has a book about it. I could ask her. She knows many things.
Rashida: "You should, since I don't know. I do know someone who says its got something to do with humans, but she seemed a little...odd, so I didn't pay much attention to all that she said."
Semirr: [He snorted--a human with magic?! Ridiculous!] The only humans I know of who can do anything out of the ordinary are the ones who work in the kitchen. I've never heard any of them talk about dreaming.
Rashida: -She quietly laughed.- "Well, I did say this female was very strange. Perhaps she just made it up."
Semirr: [He shrugged.] She could have been right. I'll ask around. If anyone knows, it would be Ebony. She knows everything about magic.
Rashida: -Sighs. She isn't very fond of magic, it seems like cheating to her in a way, but she doesn't hold it against anyone who has it.- "Well sounds like you have a plan." -Tilts her head questioningly.- "I suppose....goodbye, until we meet again?" -She wasn't sure if this was a parting point in the conversation, or just a lull.-
Semirr: [He noticed the sigh, but forced himself not to react. To him, magic was a fact of life. Ebony was a family friend, and he trusted her--even if she was female. She was different. And he didn't see any shame in using magic. He didn't understand what Rashida's problem was--this was clearly magic. And what was wrong with that?] Yes, I suppose it is. [He gave her a smile.] Until we meet again, Rashida? Your place, maybe?
Rashida: -She nodded, and managed to give Semirr a genuine smile.- "I'll see you when you get there."
