When you put it that way... I wouldn't say you're wrong.

[noprophecies]

Mmm. [a small hum of amusement] It seems we both have our adventuring stories.

[outstandingbalance]

If adventure is what you want to call it.

[noprophecies]

It is one word for it? I do not know what else they could be called.

[outstandingbalance]

It is. Just seems like the kind of thing that sounds more glamorous than it is.

[noprophecies]

Quite true. There is nothing glamorous about it.

[outstandingbalance]

No, not glamorous at all. A lot more aches and pains/

[noprophecies]

Now that is an understatement.

[outstandingbalance]

Been there, done that?

[noprophecies]

Mmm. I was a mercenary; aches and pains and scars come with the job, sadly.

[outstandingbalance]

Ah, that explains it. You're a fighter now, or...?

[noprophecies]

At times. I usually prefer using my magic, though - I am a mage.

[outstandingbalance]

Ah... Now that's not something we saw a whole lot of back home.

[Natasha doesn't say never. Whatever opinions others might have, if something's practically indistinguishable from magic, she has better things to do than argue semantics.]

I would have thought that at least kept you out of the fighting.

[noprophecies]

I cannot say I'm surprised - it isn't common for many people.

And you would think that. [a wry smile] Sometimes it is faster to draw a sword then to try and get out a spell in time. And oftentimes what we are fighting against isn't worth expending magic for.

[...] Other times my temper gets the better of me and I'd much rather punch someone in the face before I set them on fire.

[outstandingbalance]

No that that sounds satisfying. I might be a little jealous.

[noprophecies]

[. . . that's the first time she's ever gotten that response, whoa]

It is very satisfying.

[outstandingbalance]

[Look, Natasha has certainly punched someone and set them on fire before. Just not with magic. She had to do it the old fashion way.]

Can you still do things like that now?

[noprophecies]

[she nods] I haven't done it lately, but I have been trying to be on my best behavior, too.

[outstandingbalance]

Definitely better that way. Fire in an all oxygen environment.

[noprophecies]

So I have heard. It is frustrating.

[outstandingbalance]

You must have some other tricks?

[noprophecies]

Mm, I do. But fire is my preferred method of . . . anger management.

[outstandingbalance]

If it's effective...
