Vila flashes inside in a burst of green light. "huh, that kid isnt here anymore..."
Vila, noticing a new person, turns her attention to Lita "hello, i'm Vila, what's your name?" she uses her shorter name to make the interaction faster.
"All work and no play makes one a dull person. A mortal's lifespan isn't long, and one's springtime only comes around once. Don't waste your best years so easily with that stuffy old nonsense, or you'll become someone like me when you get older."
"...What, perhaps, may you be doing?"
I tilted my head "But you look pretty young yourself?"
Dust whisper's a soft spoken "Hello, Miss Vil."
Dust jump in panic,as crash onto the floor from the table he's on.
"You think so? But I'm hardly at the age to be called that. It's the child's middling years that matter."
"...What, perchance, might you be planning? Playing a jester, perhaps? You do look the part right now."
She turns her head towards the noise and states "Vil is my father's name, my name is technically Vilatherael, but most people call me Vila, what were you doing hiding, rune kid?"
"meh, we once hired a man who's face was ripped all the way off and he could still talk, or there's spiders man... (she shudders), by comparhison, you're pretty normal."
"Then what do you have in mind?" I was curious what this stranger thought of as fun.
"Ah Hi Dust" I realized who the person was.
"What rubbish. If people aren't used to your presence, flaunt it. Get right in their faces and get them used to it. Don't skulk about like a rat; that's degrading."
"Falling off a mountain with nothing but a pair of wings."
I opened and closed my mouth "as you can see, I don't have a pair of wings." I then introduced myself "Letianna, but you can call me leti."
"I mean, yeah, a human looking boy, as compared to a hivemind of thousands of spiders to form one human is a bit-"
Vila notices another presence in the room "who mights you be?"
"Don't worry your little head off over such trivial matters! If you don't have wings, just ask someone who does! And right now that'll be me!"
"Just your everyday tea-lover."
"Ahaha~ I think I'm fine." I sat down nearby, I love the earth~
"i meant, like, your name but i guess that's okay. my brother has wings too,i mean, his are made out of metal and used for fighting, but still."
After a long moment of deliberation, Dust ask openly "Is it degrading?"
"I mean, if you're one to stay in the shadows thats okay too. but most people think that's the way of a theif or an assassin, not a mage. but this person seems to be one to like to stand out so take the advice with a grain of salt."
"Well, your loss. I've tried."
"Oh, that? Well, I can go by many, but Ellania will do fine."
"Staying out of sight isn't. Some people prefer that, and others need that for their work. But cowering in front of strangers is a foolish notion --- you aren't any less or inferior than others, so why shouldn't you hold yourself upright in front of others? Have some self-confidence!"
"Thank you"
"well, i can at least agree with that, hell, right now you could beat me in a fight."
