Hey. Uh... I've never posted to the network before, huh? I'm Kyna.

[Kyna helpfully wiggles her fingers in a little wave. She's very clearly some kind of elf, with pointy ears and all.]

So, my magic's back, which is good, since a lot of things want to fucking kill us here. Anyway, I'm offering lessons or whatever. I'm an evocation wizard, which means I know a lot of spells that blow shit up, but I know defensive magic too, if that's your bag. No healing spells, though. Find a cleric for that.

Oh, yeah, this probably goes without saying but, you know, bloodthirsty assholes need not apply. If I've heard sketchy shit about you I'm not teaching you.

[She pauses for a moment, head tilting as she thinks.]

Yep, that's it. Let me know.

I can't even pretend to be offended because that's so incredibly outlandish that I can't suspend disbelief long enough.

[evocation]

Which part is outlandish? The nerd part?

[lifetothefullest]

That nerds wouldn't be allowed to learn magic. It seems like an inherently nerdy pursuit.

[evocation]

Hey, what are you saying?

[lifetothefullest]

Just making an observation.

[He totally says it in the annoying psychologist voice.]

[evocation]

[She mouths his words and rolls her eyes, half-mocking.]

Uh-huh. Don't give me that. You're just mad I'm offering to teach everyone now.

[lifetothefullest]

[Wow don't call him out like this!!!]

I'm not mad; you can teach whoever you want.

[And it's true that he's not angry or anything; he just might be a little competitive and slightly jealous, although he's self-aware enough to know those are both ridiculous things to feel.]

[evocation]

[Wait, is he really a little irritated? She was kidding. Oops.]

You're still officially my favorite student.

[Well, after Wash, but that's not a fair comparison so it doesn't count.]

[lifetothefullest]

[She's just too good; it's a problem. Her next comment is pretty perfectly chosen too, and so his own in light in response.]

I can accept that.

[evocation]

Cool.

[And now she's going to ruin it.]

Why's Brennan saying you're not a scientist?

[lifetothefullest]

Because she's mad that I correctly called that she and Booth were in love years before they finally decided to admit it.

[It's... Not actually the right answer but he's being sassy.]

[evocation]

[She bursts out laughing.]

Wait, seriously? You did?

[lifetothefullest]

I did, although to be completely fair it didn't exactly take having a degree to figure it out.

[And certainly not degrees as fancy as his are.]

[evocation]

Yeah, well, she says she can learn a spell faster than you can.

[lifetothefullest]

She says all sorts of things.

[evocation]

I don't think she can.

[So show her up, Lance!]

[lifetothefullest]

I know she can't, although I do have an unfair advantage in having learned some magic already.

[evocation]

Mm. Yeah, I guess. But still.

[lifetothefullest]

[At her agreement Lance is quiet a moment, then shrugs.]

Oh well.

[Nothing can be done! Besides, it's Brennan's fault for being overconfident anyway.]

[evocation]

What spell should I teach you next, anyway?

[lifetothefullest]

What are the options?

[evocation]

Uh... There's a lot. I can teach you some more cantrips or we can make you a focus so you can learn harder spells.

[lifetothefullest]

You're teaching, so it's up to you. I'll learn whatever.

[Sure, he thinks making a focus and learning more elaborate spells would be really cool, but he's also willing to accept that maybe he needs more practice first. Or maybe not?]
