[color=#0050ff][b]"Gallus gallus domesticus..."[/b][/color] Raudd replied to Yue's paniced voice with a glance that put an maliciously evil smile on full display for her to see. Before allowing that smile to fade into something much more mellow as his second sentence flowed out of his mouth.[color=#0050ff][b]"Otherwise known as the common chicken. I am aware of your 'dietary restrictions' and it would be poor sport to make something everyone else can enjoy, while you don't even have your MRE's with you to fall back on."[/b][/color] Raudd said said before rounding the corner out of their sight. Where he had a little shiver running across his back from the combined thought of chalky MRE potato mash and the entropic screaming coming from the little magic class going on in the living room.

Zolya in the meantime was watching with a mixture of excitement and intrigue as Yue managed to activate the medallion practically without instruction on how to use it or even how to consciously manipulate the flow of mana. However most of all what caught her eye was the threads of [silver] that peeked through the [crimson], eliciting an almost impulsive [color=#018c3b][b]"Hmmm."[/b][/color] and even a slight smile as Zolya could see that at long last the road to her recovery seemed to have had it's first few footprints made on them.

Before she could recompose herself enough to start explaining what Yue just instinctively had done to the very confused Yue Archer beat her with a rather simple and practical explanation in the form of displaying the effects of the medallion. Followed with his explanation that the phenomenon in front of them was the [i]Sword song[/i] he'd been talking about reacting to resonance from an enchanted item. [color=#018c3b][b]"So this is that [i]Sword song[/i] you've been raving about. Well the medallion does seem to be enjoying the ample supply of mana, but I can't say it appears any different from the average user... No, that metallic chime. That wasn't a normal sound."[/b][/color]

Raudd didn't quite know whether to be mildly annoyed or mildly pleased by Archers invitation to 'help' in the kitchen, especially knowing him leaving Yue there would probably make the realization a little bit worse for her. That being said he wouldn't turn down the offer if it meant pawning of the grating work to some other fool, even if said fool was probably going to use magic to accomplish it. [color=#0050ff][b]"Well if you want to help how about you peel and grate some potatoes and onions for the latkes, while I fix up the sauce for the shakshouka? Oh, and no grated fingies please, I don't know if reincarnated Greek god fingers counts as 'monster meat', but I don't care to find out."[/b][/color] He asked his kitchen assistent leaving him little time to complain before turning his attention to the bunch of peppers, onions, gralic, tomatoes, and a pickled lemon he intended for the sauce.

Zolya's ramblings were cut short when Yue's face flushed with horror snapped up to her, looking straight at her with an expression that practically screamed 'help I fucked up'. Which initially caused her to send a barrage of spittle flying into the barrier as she tried to stifle her laughter. [color=#018c3b][b]"Pffff... I mean, yeah. That might be a little tricky since that [i]Sword song[/i] of yours decided to interact with the medallion on it's own rather than a concentrated effort on your part. You'll have to learn how to consciously cut off that flow of mana, which is much harder than consciously establishing the connection."[/b][/color] Zolya said in a matter of factly manner after which she took a little sniff to confirm that the sauce was already bubbling, as if to say that Yue should better hurry or miss breakfast.

What followed was a slightly too long pause as a cheeky smile widened on Zolya's face. [color=#018c3b][b]"Well, eventually that is. For now just dropping the medallion on the ground should be more than enough to make that barrier pop like a soap bubble and break the mana supply. It requires a close contact both to maintain the mana supply and maintain the barrier, that's one of the safety features built into the runes, exactly for cases like this where the magic decides to take on a will of it's own."[/b][i] Which is always a risk with experimental arrays.[/i][/color] She said with a little hint of teasing in her tone of voice, not that the smile left any doubt about that.
