Hello, everyone. My name is Naminé and I have a very small question for anyone willing to give an answer.

[ At first her voice starts out pretty small, but as she speaks more she seems more certain of what she wants to ask. ]

I've had some wonderful people offer to help me learn more about magic here. So I'd really like to narrow down what kind to focus on at first. Would anyone be willing to share their experience?

Either with magic they've learned here or what you may know back home! What gave you found to be the most helpful? The thing that's best helped you to protect and help your friends?

Any answer, long or small, is equally appreciated. Thank you so much.

CW So much child abuse here

[obliviscere]

[ She forces a smile because that's what she's used to and what comes most naturally. ]

A group of people wanted to use my abilities. It...they weren't that bad to me. [ The biggest lie ever. ]

[beshackled]

[If a smiles comes naturally to Naminé, a frown comes naturally to Erichthonios.]

Locking a child up and not letting them talk to anyone is bad.

Using that child for their abilities when that child barely understands them is not only bad, 'tis dangerous.

[obliviscere]

I know. To some of them it didn't matter though because they didn't see me as a real person.

[beshackled]

Why in creation would they not see you as a real person?

[Brows drawn together, nose crinkled; his face a display of a combination of confusion and disapproval both.]

[obliviscere]

Ah, that's a tiny bit complicated.

[ and she doesn't really want to bother anyone with her problems ]

It might be a long story to explain?

[beshackled]

...'Tis alright if you don't wish to speak of it here. But know that I disagree with their assessment.

[obliviscere]

Maybe in person it'd be easier to talk about. I don't really want anyone to be able to see it.

But thank you, I don't agree with the assessment either anymore. [ But once...well, it was hard not to occasionally. And sometimes she still thinks about it ]

[beshackled]

...I understand.

[His expression softens, supportive.]

In your own time, then. You need not force yourself if you are uncomfortable.

[obliviscere]

Thank you. I appreciate that. I think...I'll probably need to talk about it someday.

[ After all she is encouraging other people to talk about their issues and past. Makes sense for her to follow that advice sometime. ]

[beshackled]

I shall listen whensoever you need me to.

Have you received any other interesting replies to your question? I can structure our lessons to prioritize what you wish to work on.

[obliviscere]

Thank you

Yes. I think I'm going to go with water magic for now. People say it's really versatile and that maybe I can learn to use my natural abilities in combination with it.

[beshackled]

Well, you certainly shall have enough of it to draw from. 'Tis a good choice for you, I think.

[She'll be less likely to overexert her energies if she can pull from the environs instead.]

[obliviscere]

Thank you! I can't wait to start seeing things and trynig things!
