Ma'tanza followed suit and sat down beside Tzirret. Mimicking his posture, she also put her arm over his shoulder, as well as wrapping her tail around his waist. Following all of the discomfort and confusion, Ma'tanza had lost much of what she had been thinking about before. Instead, they were replaced by thoughts of the future, and what might happen between herself and Tzirret over the following weeks. As such, she did not have anything to say until Tzirret spoke up. 

Cocking her head to the side somewhat, Ma'tanza, once more, appeared confused. "Yes, Ma'tanza remembers the chapel, but...she isn't sure what [i]exactly[/i] you're talking about. She remembers looking at all of the beautiful windows and carvings, and talking about the Imperial gods. She does remember that you were going to tell her something before we had to go, but you didn't bring it up again. Were you going to give Ma'tanza the pendant then?"

Meesei took in a few deep breaths as she stepped away from the center of what remained of the frost storm. Since her magic had passed, the slick sheet of ice on the ground was starting to feel cold to her as well. Briefly, she paused and looked back when she heard a loud cracking sound coming from the tree behind her. The whole base of its trunk was frozen in ice, and it looked to be rather unstable. However, it seemed to settle after a few moments. 

"That...was more power than I would normally use, yes. That frost spell takes much more out of me than a comparable lightning spell. It is not something I would use in combat unless I had a very good reason, certainly." Meesei answered. She walked up to Sabine, then turned around and stood alongside her to join in looking over the spell's effects. "I gained that power the same way you are gaining yours. Training, experience, and perhaps some talent. It may seem unimaginable now, but power like that is within your grasp. Another ten years or so, and I could see you casting a frost spell more intricate and powerful than that."
