hey
so me and wash and gene were gonna go on an adventure in the woods
see what we can find, you know?
but we're looking for a couple of people to bring with us
maybe two or three
gene's a medic, wash is a marine, and i'm a wizard with experience dealing with monsters and nasty magic
anyone that thinks they could round that out would be great
but no serial killers or anyone that would like
murder us in our sleep
and sorry, but no kids yet
i know some of you are gonna argue that, but we have no idea what we're dealing with and we don't want that on our consciences
anyway, let us know
thanks

At one point, she may tell him her true worry – how easy it is for her to misjudge the powers of others, and how dangerous it is to overdo it. That the King, for a while, became a shadow of his own self because she engaged too much of his power. Or that students of the art die like flies in water, because it's easy to take one step too far.

Then it is your determination I must praise, your attention to detail.

The knives come out near identical, and there's a glint in her eyes, appraisal and excitement.

Perfect.

She touches his cheek, lifting his gaze from the shadow blades.

What of you? You are not overtasking yourself? The early signs are sleeplessness, phantom pains, all such. ⦑ Actually, let her add one more: ⦒ They are not a sign of weakness. Your body is still mortal. still human. You must treasure your needs, long as you have them.
