[ delightful smells coming from the kitchen are surely no cause for alarm. but the continuous clang of pots and pans at such strange hours of the night are - enough that the dark elf eventually decides that it's time to investigate.

lioriley steps into the doorway of the kitchen as an array of vegetables flies past her head. ]

Ah - is everything all right in here? [ surely she did not mean to do that. ]

[experiencepoints]

-- Oh, shit. Are you okay?

[She waves, and everything lands quickly.]

Sorry, none of that hit you, did it? I wasn't paying enough attention.

[invigorates]

No, I am fine. [ thankfully, she's short enough to have avoided being hit in the face - or elsewhere - and quickly shakes her head to try and dismiss the woman's concerns. ]

Truthfully, I had thought you might be having some trouble. But it would seem that I was mistaken. [ she glances around the room, noting how it doesn't seem as disastrous as she expected upon hearing the noise and seeing food flying everywhere. ] How did you do that?

[experiencepoints]

Huh- Oh! The flying? It's just wind magic.

[She demonstrates, flicking a finger and causing a nearby bowl to levitate up, carried by a small bit of wind under it.]

Sorry, I don't usually make this much noise. Only when I'm trying to be quiet, I guess.

[invigorates]

There is no need to apologize, you did nothing wrong.

[ suddenly, the leylines across the elf's cheeks brighten significantly. she said the magic word. uh... magic. ]

Ah - Have you any other abilities? I am always interested in speaking with other magic users...

[experiencepoints]

[the glow gets her attention, and she makes a note about that, but she doesn't say anything just yet. after all, commenting might be rude.

Still, more magic-users is enough to get her to smile herself, setting the bowl back down.]

I do, but all of my other abilities require a target. Wind is mostly just my spell for being lazy. You do magic, too?

[invigorates]

How interesting. [ genuinely interesting! the dark elf nods, leylines still bright, still pulsing in time with what seems to be the beat of her heart. ]

I do. My people are born of magic, and we study it for as long as we live. [ which is a long-fucking-time, ok. ] I myself prefer to heal, where others may prefer to defend, or fight. [ but let's not talk about freaky elf magic just yet. ]

Are your other abilities element based as well?

[experiencepoints]

A healer, huh? I can do a little of that myself, but I don't really have any talent for it. Offensive, elemental magic is my specialty... Especially since I lost most of my spells a while ago.

Fire is my big attacking spell, recently.

[invigorates]

You lost most of your spells? I did not think something like that was even possible. [ then again, she doesn't really know how magic in nightingale's world works, so maybe there it is. ] How did that happen, if I may ask?

[experiencepoints]

It's... technically not possible, no. But it's a very complicated story, that I don't like telling sober.

[invigorates]

[ despite her obvious curiosity, lioriley relents easily enough and gives the other woman a small nod. ]

Of course. Perhaps we should speak of something else. [ there's plenty of topics to choose from. ] Introductions may be a good start, hm?

[experiencepoints]

I'd think so.

I'm Nightingale. Gray Nightingale from Takshaka. What about you?

[invigorates]

A pleasure, Nightingale. I am Lioriley. [ said with an accompanied bow, of course. ] I cannot say I have heard of Takshaka before - is that where you hail from?

[experiencepoints]

No, it's my team. It's... kind of a long story.

[She returns the bow, though hers is much more awkward.]

My home is Ashvara.

[invigorates]

Oh. [ nightingale doesn't seem to want to elaborate, and thus lioriley chooses not to press the subject further. ]

I have never heard of Ashvara either, truthfully. [ chuckles. ]

[experiencepoints]

I guessed. We have elves there, but... You look a bit different. I've never met anyone from my world after I was taken away from it.

[invigorates]

That seems to be the case with most that I speak to here. [ she's heard plenty of tales of the elves from other lands though. ]

When were you taken from it, if I may ask?

[experiencepoints]

I lost track of time for a while at my last interdimensional shithole, but... Between there and here, it's been a bit over a year since I was last home.
