( before overflow! )

Wait... you can make people sneeze?

[faesight]

Well... Let's just say that a sprinkling of flour goes a long way!

[royalist]

I see... The world of fairy magic is so much more complex than I expected...

[ he's teasing her. ]

[faesight]

Are you making fun of me?

Look, I know it wouldn't change anything. Thanks for playing along anyway.

What I could do is cast a different spell just for you, like I did that time in the desert.

[royalist]

No, I think that there are real applications for using you to make people sneeze!

But what kind of "different spell" do you have in mind?

[faesight]

There are, huh? Now you've gotta let me in on your vision!

What I'm thinking is more along the same lines as last time. Lifting your spirits, that kinda thing. How are you feeling right now?

[royalist]

I'm okay, really. I'm used to it at this point.

I just think it's a little sad sometimes. The way that some people come so close to being kind to me, and then notice I'm an elda, and change their minds.

[faesight]

Yeah... That's exactly it, it's sad that they can't just look at you and see you, without thinking about different tribes.

I'm glad you don't let it get you down, but what I mean is... I'm here, okay? Even if it's not the same thing as another elda.

[royalist]

You don't need to be another elda. You're my friend because you're you, Gallica.

[faesight]

[ Aww... Hug incoming! Well, a hug for Will's forehead. ]

Wow, you're way too good at that... Here I thought I could be your listening ear! As your guide and all... Looks like I've still got my own hang-ups to work through and you're the one cheering me up.

[ Will always makes her feel like she belongs, that's for sure. It's there in the way he lets her sit on his shoulder, turns pages for her, makes her a chair out of a cup... And of course every time they talk like this. ]

Thanks.

[royalist]

[ Wah, forehead hug...!! It is really cute when their little shared habits infect the rest of the group, though. Everyone is used to will being the one to upturn a cup so that Gallica can sit down, but the last time they'd taken a seat at the strategy table, there wasn't one; Gallica had been prepared to just take Will's shoulder, but Eupha had immediately scurried off to the kitchen to fetch a teacup, saying, "Oh! Gallica's chair, Gallica's chair..." ]

You don't have to thank me. Seeing you happy makes me happy, too.

And you do always listen to me when I have something to say. Or when I'm not sure what to do.
