[@Simple Unicycle] Ètoiles nodded towards him. This man didn't seem like the type to laugh at a fallen ally, unlock some others she knew... Shaking her head, she smirked at the older man. "Nobody knows the truth from hearing rumors," she muttered to herself, then tilted her head. Looking at her books about water magic, she smiled. Someone had finally asked. Was she excited to tell this man her newer ability? Possibly anxious? She couldn't quite tell herself. "Well, I'm learning... One of those Enforcers burned up my arm pretty bad... I want to take revenge, fighting fire with water..." She leaned back a little. "Though, I have nothing better to do then read at the moment. These wounds will take forever to heal." She chuckled at his words. A low chuckle, not meant for him to hear. "Well," she began slowly, "most of those bastards fighting against us think we aren't worth anything. Worth below nothing, most likely." Her grin faded as she remembered the battle, and the governor's words. She tended up, but soon relaxed. "I'm Ètoiles. It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Garrett Eudon." She then turned her gaze from him to another passing soldier, then back to his. "What do you specialize in, since you know I'm learning magic? I'm rather curious as to what weapons you use and how you fight the enemy."
