Elise blinked as the sphinx trotted over, grabbing Scarlett's practice sword before putting it on the ground, confirming that it wasn't magic. To that Elise just scoffed slightly. [b][color=00C5CD]"I shook my head.. I knew they weren't magic.."[/color][/b] She walked up to the redhead and Shi, grabbing Scarlett's chin in her hand, turning her face over a little before letting go. [b][color=00C5CD]"In either case, it's just a minor cut."[/color][/b] She paused, looking to the sphinx with a puzzled look, then bending down to pick the blade up and handing it back to her training partner. [b][color=00C5CD]"I'll be honest - I don't know of any creature that bleeds blue. Outside of some spiders, maybe.. but, uh.. I don't think you're part spider,"[/color][/b] she smirked ever-so-slightly.

Scarlett just stared at the blue stain on her hand for a few moments before looking to Elise, then up to Shi. [b][color=ff6699]"I'm.. not really sure what to say.. or think.."[/color][/b] Lowering her hand slowly, grabbing the offered wooden sword as she seemed to ponder the revelation for a few moments. [b][color=ff6699]"Unless.. I'm.. something - like a magical being? A golem?"[/color][/b] In truth, Scarlett could think of nothing else that would explain the present of the strange pigmented blood. Taking in a deep breath, she looked to Elise, noting the sweat still beading off of the woman's forehead while she hardly felt tired - in fact, she felt like she hadn't lost any energy at all. [b][color=ff6699]"... that would explain the whole.. not having to eat.. and sleep thing.."[/color][/b] she muttered softly in thought.

[b][color=00C5CD]"Yeah, it would,"[/color][/b] Elise admitted before reaching for Scarlett's wooden sword, deciding it was time to stop. Scarlett had made amazing progress as it was, in only an hour's time. Enough that Elise felt confident in letting her loose against the undead, even skeletons. Walking only a couple feet away as she hooked the practice blades back on her back, she turned to Shi all of a sudden, realization painted across her face. [b][color=00C5CD]"Wait - you can sense magic in objects? Can you do that with living creatures too? Maybe if we knew how much magic was in her, we could better understand [i]what[/i] she is."[/color][/b] The redhead frowned softly at the reaction of her companion, moving a hand to rub her arm self-consciously. Elise knew her well enough however, in the few months they had spent together. [b][color=00C5CD]".. not that she's a [i]thing[/i] mind you. Even if it turns out you're a golem, you're as much of a person as I am."[/color][/b] She reassured the girl with a resounding confidence that seemed to ease Scarlett's mind, forcing a slight smile across her face.
