[Color=F6DC88]“Remind me to give Bardulf a few words of admiration if he’s successful.”[/color] Mister Luum looked on at the two speaking in the distance. The situation seemed fine from where he stood but if it wasn’t the case, he was sure he could put in some practice on his grand dream of being the greatest sniper in Avalia. [Color=F6DC88][i]The distance is so short though. I don’t even need Brigitte’s help to hit that warforged… Hmm… Bardulf could lose a limb but he’d be alive, I’m sure. In pain, yes. Screaming bloody murder, yes. That’s fine though. The bigger problem would be the lightning exploding out every orifice of his being…[/i][/color] That’s how Mister Luum imagined it, anyway. 

Though Zeva replied to him, he kept his eyes on the pair over yonder. As much as he would have also enjoyed watching the love birds fly across the night sky, he had to have some level of caution. [Color=F6DC88][i]Ugh… It would be easier to just blow his arm off and let the sparks fry the warforged. Now that would be something no one has ever seen… Though the fairies would likely hate that. Even if I lied and claimed I missed. Oh… Zeva![/i][/color]

Quickly, Mister Luum slightly turned his head as he barely caught her say [color=DCD1FD]“...where do I start?”[/color]

[Color=F6DC88]“Umm. Start?”[/color] He appeared to be thoroughly bewildered as he had only caught a small part of what she had said. Fortunately, Mister Luum was not so easily beaten! [Color=F6DC88]“Magic! Yes!”[/color] He felt fortunate to be able to recall the topic before the brief silence between them became awkward. Though his exclamation was very telling that he might not have been listening. 

[Color=F6DC88]“Forget everything I said before about picking what you do best, and just think of how you [i]want[/i] to use your magic. If it doesn’t work, well we’ll just have to count it as a loss and try something else.”[/color] It was almost impressive how easily he shrugged after saying this. [Color=F6DC88]“Firstly, we need to ensure Solaris is high in the sky. As bright as he can be! Your magic will be extra potent with his blessing!”[/color] He briefly put a hand on her shoulder before quickly snatching it away upon making contact. He almost behaved as if he touched a hot stovetop and tucked the hand beneath his arm holding his staff. As strange as the moment was, he continued.

[Color=F6DC88]“You don’t seem so great at producing light on your own, so instead, focus on gathering it from around you. The established elite mages of Illuminata might say it’s a crutch since you’re relying on an outside source for your magic but those fools lost the war and you, my dear friend are not a mage. Magic can simply be a spare tool or weapon for someone like you.”[/color]

[hider=tldr]Mister Luum keeps watch of Bardulf and Masako. While considering Masako being a potential threat, he thinks of how he would violently act if Masako presented ill will toward the human. Deep in thought, Mister Luum barely registers Zeva’s inquiry on where to start with magic training, and he gives her a mouthful to think about while also contradicting some of his previous statements.[/hider][/color]
