You can’t just let this elf run amok badmouthing an apprentice of the great witch–that’s tantamount to badmouthing the great witch herself! “Snuff–” Your master begins.
“At least I’ve made out to learn magic for myself!” You fold your arms. You definitely look cool right now. “Not because my parents told me so they could dress up their dinner party conversations or earn a bit more off their marriage contracts. You’re no more than a decorative doll in witch’s wear.”
“Snuff.” Your master looked vexed. “That’s very rude. I told you I would handle this. And for gods’ sake, keep an eye on the cockatrice–”
“Oh? You were listening in? Is this the decorum with which a great witch’s apprentice conducts himself?” Your fellow student practically purrs in amusement. “I presume you know already, then–that the only reason your master brought you on was as a favor for your mother. How great that your pure desire to learn magic for yourself has brought you so far in life. If only we could all be so lucky.”
“That’s quite enough from the both of you. If you’ll excuse me, we ought to make from here at once.” Sigrid begins to back into the chapel.
“How about a duel, Snuff? A friendly one. A short one. It’ll only take a moment to break a doll like me, after all.” Ingraine offers snidely. “You’re a child of the wild gods too, aren’t you? Shall we see who has curried stronger favor with our patrimony?”
>Ok, ok, ok. Just a short one.>Continue to insult her verbally.>No way. You shouldn’t do this. Also you need to fetch Bredbeddle before she gets eaten by goblins.>[Write-In.]
