canon is prequel adventure/elder scrolls; muse lieks being a wizard oh gosh

[sadkitty]

Oh gosh, oh gosh, I can go there and they'll actually call me a mage? Is there a guild? Because being able to make fire is super cool and all, but I have to find someone to teach me more stuff and how to control it

You're a mage? How exciting!

[sadkitty]

I thought my whole life I didn't have any magical ability! It was... sort of an accident, actually, that I found out that I did.

[...THE LESS SAID OF THAT INCIDENT THE BETTER.]

I'm hoping to scrape together some more money so I can learn to do more than set things on fire. And, uh, maybe get better at setting things on fire that I want to set on fire...

[tatra]

Oh my! I'm sure someone at the castle would be willing to teach you free of charge.

[sadkitty]

Realllllly? Are you sure? Everyone I've asked said they'd have to charge for it!

[OH MY GOSH IT'S FULL OF STARS.]

[tatra]

I'm sure! If nobody else can, I'm sure I could teach you something.

[sadkitty]

Omigosh omigosh, are you a mage, too? Well, I guess I should ask if you're a mage, since I'm not really much of one yet, but that's so great! What do you study?

[tatra]

In a way. As princesses of Chizeta my sister and I are practiced in our own brand of magic.

GUESS WHO HAS A PHOBIA OF ROYALTY

[sadkitty]

[STAY CALM, KATIA. After all, you survived dinner with the Countess—but Countesses aren't princesses. Princesses grow up to be queens, and queens—

But, but. She's been perfectly like a... like a normal person so far. You've been conversing fine so far; this shouldn't change anything, right? She's been a princess this whole time and you've been fine. And Emperor Uriel only turns into a horrible monster in your dreams.

Probably. Wat do. Um.]

...P-princesses?

...IS IT ME? I'M GUESSING IT'S ME BUT I COULD BE WRONG

[tatra]

Yes, my sister and I both. [ BIG SMILE how could you be afraid of this face? ]

IT'S KATIAAAAA

[sadkitty]

[AAAA AAA okay, look, Katia, you can do this. You survived dinner with the Countess! She was just like a normal person! Just with a fancy title! Isn't that just like Princesses? Except... Princesses are children of Kings, and... Kings...

No, no, get a grip. She's been so nice so far! And she'd teach you magic! Maybe Princesses are fine! You can... maybe you can be okay with Princesses?

We're... we're going to give this a try. Things have been going so well so far, right? Maybe things aren't as bad as you used to think they were.]

Ha, haha... So, um, where is Chietza? I... guess... it's not in Cyrodil?

AAAAAAAAH see I should have known that really it was obvious

[tatra]

Oh no, I've never heard of Cyrodil. It isn't in anything, though, it's its own country. I don't suppose it's really close to anything, either... [ spoiler: it's a planet ]

[sadkitty]

[A-at least that means she's not immediately threatening? TOO BAD YOU'RE GETTING SHOVED IN THE SAME PLACE KATIA]

I've been to a lot of places [spoiler: occasionally exiting them very quickly], but I guess there's still a lot of places I don't know about... What's it like there?

[tatra]

Chizeta is lovely, and very small! It's much warmer than Schwanheim, but the people are every bit as nice.

[dragonspooker]

Y-yeah, being able to create fire is handy and fun, but you definitely want to learn to control it before you really start playing with it...

[sadkitty]

Haha, yeah... I'm getting better at it, at least! I think I am, anyway. I can aim now!

[dragonspooker]

Well, that's always a good start. Keep at it, you'll be wrecking bandit camps in no time!

[sadkitty]

I sure hope so! There's one bandit in particular who I wouldn't mind showing some magic to...

[dragonspooker]

There's your motivation, then! Just keep practicing and studying.

[sadkitty]

Thanks! I'm really excited about learning more. It's... it's one of the first things that's gone right for me in a while, actually.
