Damian nodded with a lopsided grin as he and his companions matched the young woman's pace. He contemplated her question as the four of them walked, Carmilla and Jaëger investigating the young woman and her scent and magical presence. [color=B20C0C]"Well, I came through with my old unit a few times over the years and I've passed through a few times since I resigned from the Royal Army, but I've never really stayed and explored. So I guess the best answer is I know some parts better than others."[/color] Finishing first, Jaëger trotted around his master's guildmate to his right side, satisfied with his investigation of the woman. Carmilla, on the other hand, was still sniffing and investigating.

[color=B20C0C]"Oh right, I'm Damian, Damian Gerard. These two are Jaëger and Carmilla, my companions. I'm...not sure what Carmilla is doing other than being extra thorough, but typically she's the more easy going of the two. Jaëger here, well, he once bit off a man's hand for looking at me wrong."[/color] The male growled an affirmative and Damian sighed. [color=B20C0C]"But anyways, yeah, before I heard about Fenixtear, I was a wandering mage."[/color] Pulling his articles of clothing back, he appraised the woman he was walking with. She had been the water mage in that fight and he found himself unable to contain his questions until a more suitable time, his brain needing details to fill in the mental profile he was making.

[color=B20C0C]"If you don't mind me asking miss, what kind of magic was that back there? Standard water magic or something more specialized, like perhaps maker magic?"[/color] If it was the former, her skill was damned impressive from his own little contact with water mages that didn't think he needed to take a shower after two months on the road and if it was the latter, than he was that much more impressed, as Maker magic was incredibly difficult to master from what he knew of the subject. In fact, he had already thought of several defensive plans using both forms, though admittedly most of them worked better with maker than normal water magic, but they would work either way.
