Yes, she saw Kara walk up behind Claudette, but she didn't say a word. When Claudette turned to look at Kara, Mariah laughed lowly to herself at the reaction. What was more interesting was Claudette's accent. Put simply, it was weird to her ears, and she was going to ask where it was from a little later. [quote]"Let me just say, I'm Claudette Jones, the leader of the Coven, and while I want to welcome you to the Coven, I have to ask some questions just to make sure that you're a good fit. And tell you some information so it's not a surprise later." Claudette sighed, "But first, let me just ask you two to tell me about yourselves. Why you want to join, what you can do, and anything else you feel is relevant..."[/quote] Mariah stayed quiet as she thought up an answer but it was Kara who started speaking first. Speaking [i]and[/i] demonstrating. [quote][color=brown]”I’ve tried to figure this out as best I could for the last year, but I haven’t learned a lot about anything other than myself.”[/color][/quote] [color=#F3128D]"Preeeach,"[/color] Mariah responded. Since her fan was already open, she needed only channel her will into it, but she decided to do a very flamenco fan flourish, as the glowing arcane symbols flared in the air around said fan, and it ignited the entire gazebo in a very neon orange outline. [color=#F3128D]"Mis Abuelas told me a while ago, in some kinda vision or sort, that I got both they powers in one or somethin'. They showed me some stuff but said it might be a bit different cause I'm mixed-- whatever the hell that mean,"[/color] Mariah elaborated, [color=#F3128D]"So basically if anyone shoot fire out they ass at us we good right now. Them Abuelas mentioned some other stuff I might be able to do but real talk? I kinda forgot most the vision. I mean?"[/color] Mariah looked around, gesturing widely with her fan as she declared, [color=#F3128D]"It ain' exactly like I get shot by magic constantly? And I only discovered how uh. This one-- this one worked. Th-this cause--"[/color] she took a sharp inhale. Up until this point, her tone and gestures were all very confident, self-assured, and quite honest but now there was a tenseness to bordered on downright anxiety. Heavily, Mariah cleared her throat, then fanned herself rather hard while declaring, [color=#F3128D]"It ain't much really. Sure ain't like Miss Trent over here."[/color] No matter how smooth she was, Mariah couldn't quite mask how she wanted to not go into detail about her previous thought, by changing the focus onto something else. Whatever she wasn't saying had certainly got her a little wound up. She did appear to be sweating as she went on to say, [color=#F3128D]"I known about my magic for a long time but just ain't had much reason to use it. Probably weaker then it should be for how long I known it."[/color]
