"Hmm, I would not say I was always terribly curious, though only because I did not know how much there was [i]to[/i] know." Meesei answered. "It is easy to become complacent when you are trapped in your own experiences. I perhaps could have become curious had there not been magic to occupy my mind. In the arcane lies a world of mysteries accessible from anywhere in Mundus."

"You do make it sound amazing. Magic, that is." Rukeewei commented. "I could never wrap my head around it myself. Not that I, uh, exactly had tutors, mind you. Quite the opposite, really. I remember growing up, my brother managed to figure out how to cast the smallest of fire spells from this book he 'found'. It was a weak little thing, could hardly start a campfire with it. But, he somehow managed to, in the middle of the rainy season, managed to start a fire in the middle of the house. Burned up half of our room before we got it under control. Father whipped his tail bloody after that one, and our parents forbade us from doing anything having to do with magic after it. That incident might have been what caused him to start being so cautious, honestly." 

After finishing his story, Rukeewei also finished off the last of his wine, and since the bottle on the table was also empty, he stood up to grab another. "Would anyone like more wine?" He asked. "Oh, and we do have dessert as well, if anyone would like some. Though, I understand if you need to wait a few minutes."
