[princessia]

[ Walking along, she carefully handles and keeps the plant securely in her hands. ]

No... not really.

[ Only the purple flowers and the atmosphere give her a nagging feeling of familiarity. She pauses thoughtfully, trying to put together words in her mind. Amongst her traveling party, she was never very vocal when she thought something felt off, but she tries to now... ]

Don't you feel it? It's- I think it's mana...

[openhands]

I feel something, [Cassandra admits.]

[It's something that certainly had Cole spooked and bothered, although he seemed more afraid of what would happen should Cassandra stay the night. She couldn't really say if it was connected or not, however.]

I'm not sure the exact nature of it, but it does seem to be closely related to magic.

[princessia]

This planet doesn't look anything like my world, but... it also feels... almost the same.

[ Like home. Spirits and mana played some sort of role with nature on Rieze Maxia, where it felt to be full of life. The sensation on the green planet feels similar. She really doesn't know what else to make of it, having not further investigated planet to feel any more unsettled. ]

[openhands]

You have the gift of magic then?

[This isn't said as an accusation. Cassandra is actually about as close to gentle as she possibly can be in asking.]

[princessia]

Um... yes.

[ She seems surprised for a moment. It's not a question that comes up much, but with how she's able to pick up on the planet's life energy, it's more obvious to show that she has magical talent. ]

I'm a spirit channeler. I... think most people on the fleet would call me a mage?

[ Mage isn't a common term where she's from, but that's pretty much what she is. ]

[openhands]

[Cassandra nods, seeing as how that's the exact word she'd use to describe it.]

Have you received any training?

[There's nothing more dangerous to others as well as the mage themselves than a mage who hasn't received any training. Cassandra doesn't care, in all honesty, if the training comes from the Circle or elsewhere. A mage left on their own with no guidance puts everyone at a potential risk. Not everyone can be Solas.]

[princessia]

Training? I don't remember.

[ She always had cast spells without any problems, opening up channeling circles and performing incantations with ease. Channeling spirits is a feat that any person from Rieze Maxia can perform, but for children as young as Elize to easily have control over those powers without any training... it's seen as unusual to most. ]

Alvin said I can channel spells based on intuition alone.

[openhands]

[The lack of training is somewhat of a concern, however,]

Is Alvin another mage?

[princessia]

Uh... yes?

[ She doesn't sound very sure or it just feels weird for her to use the word "mage" a lot to refer to people from her world. ]

He channels spirit energy differently from the way I do though.

[openhands]

[Her initial answer doesn't exactly inspire Cassandra with an overwhelming about of confidence, but the follow-up covers for it a little.]

Does he have more experience than you?

[princessia]

I'm way better and way stronger than he is!

[ Proclaiming it with so much confidence.

She probably shouldn't compare since she specializes in a different kind of artes compared to Alvin. Normally, she wouldn't brag like this either. She dislikes Alvin and would hate to say that he's more experienced. ]

[openhands]

[Cassandra's brow rises.]

Forgive me, I didn't mean to offend.

[But this is said with a laugh just hidden beneath it. Elize's displays of confidence are sporadic and manage to catch Cassandra off-guard every time.]
