Ryner was probably turning in whatever box the empress kept her in right about now. The girl certainly did jump into action, didn't she? Then again, he'd never known a fire mage to be shy, so he shouldn't have expected her to be a coddled moron once he'd gotten a whiff of her affinity. Though, Chad wasn't quite sure if that was what Donovan meant; he could've easily been commenting on the fact that she was evidently competent enough to trade blows with an inquisitor and not end up fried to a crisp. Her leadership skills certainly left a bit to be desired, in any case. The purple one, on the other hand, was... quaint. Just interesting enough to note, but not noteworthy enough to interest him. Gravity magic was rare enough that he rarely considered its existence outside the context of the Grand Inquisitrix, but they all had the same gimmicks at the end of the day. The only surprise there was that little Quincy managed to refrain from wetting himself. [color=00cc66]"Oh, you know how fire mages are,"[/color] Chad offered with a dismissive flick of his wrist, [color=00cc66]"They burn bright, they burn fast, and then they either rein in their ego or they burn out. Still not sure which one our little firebird is yet, but I doubt Mommy Dearest would let her out of the castle without a hefty lecture on safety."[/color] Hopefully he wouldn't still be on babysitting duty if it becomes the latter; that'd be an earful, though it might make an interesting story when he slunk back to the empire. [color=00cc66]"Can't say I've ever owned a gravity mage before, though I've certainly seen their tricks a few times. He's creative enough, I guess, but are they all that meek?"[/color] Maybe Caeli used him as a pack mule or something. [hr][@Bert Macklin]
