Comments

[politicians]

[ hmm. ]

And do you know of many practitioners of magic?

[chainedqueen]

Only the ones currently at court. Though, I've been told to speak to a lady named Yennefer.

Apparently she knows a great deal.

[politicians]

[ yennefer. elrond makes a note of that. ]

Yes. I heard of one as well. Istredd.

[chainedqueen]

Istredd?

[The name is different from what she's used to, it doesn't give her much indication whether this is a lady or a gentleman.]

What were you told?

[politicians]

He holds magical sessions every morning at the castle. For newcomers to learn and train.

[chainedqueen]

Then I shall have to inquire.

What do you make of the magic of this world?

[politicians]

It is hard for me to say. Magic, to me, is innate. It is in the air, in our lungs.

It has never been so clinical.

[chainedqueen]

Do you mean that it is in everything? Is it so mundane?

[But that was rude.]

Forgive me. It is not wielded as it is here, correct?

[politicians]

It is not wielded, though we can harness, I suppose. It can be put into our craft and our metals, our homes and trees.

But there are no spells, no . . . instructions. It comes to us naturally.

[chainedqueen]

Magic swords?

[She seizes on that, a bit pleased to hear of something similar to home.]

You seem to have the air about you of magic, if I may say so?

[politicians]

[ he smiles. ]

I suppose I would. Elves came about through magic. It lives within us.
