[indent][indent][indent][indent][color=EE4B2B]"Yep. Plus Lola is a full on hydromage, which some argue is actually better than being a aeromancer. Heck, with enough training, and a little experimentation there was no reason why you couldn't actually be a stormmage."[/color] Aloysius unravelled his arms and looked over to Lola encouragingly. He did want his sister to be strong. Not for the sake of the family, but more for herself. She deserved to feel like she was something, rather than not being something.

[color=39FF14]"This really is getting stupid if you ask me. Yes Lola, you scored higher than me. But neither of you came close to Salem, so I don't know why either of you feel any kind of smugness."[/color] Esme retorted, mostly aimed at Aloysius. Niether of the pair looked impressed with the other.

[color=EE4B2B]"Maybe I didn't want to be? Maybe I am content on not being the strongest. I know to you, the world is a zero sum game. I just wanted to be happy. Protect my family... what little family I have left."[/color] At the end of his comment Aloysius looked down at the wooden floor.

[color=39FF14]"Oh don't you start the feel sorry for yourself charade again..."[/color] Esme hissed towards Aloysius.[/indent][/indent][/indent][/indent]
