Good girl. *places the tea on the fire to brew and checks on one of the salves* So how did this happen in the first place?
*rubs at forehead with back of hand* I … taunted the greyfaces. Said I didn’t believe in them. I mean, why should I? They enspell people around me all the time — poor Tony, he’s got to make do with an old model arc reactor — but never me.
Oh, the grey-faced ones that cast spells? I’ve never had one. Are they usually so malicious? *pours a cup of tea and sets it on the counter* You’re not to have this until it’s completely cooled. For safety’s sake.
Yes ma’am. *manages a shrug* I honestly don’t know. Sometimes they’re fun, sometimes malicious … it seems to be a whimsical thing. Or maybe thoughtless is the word I want.
Yes, thoughtless seems like an accurate word. Do they not realize the amount of damage that a lack of coordination can do? *stirs a couple of brews, and flips the page of a book open on the counter*
*wry smile* In this case, I think it might have been on purpose. I /was/ taunting them, and I haven’t been generally nice of late. There are worse punishments, I suppose.
