>>5907103It isn’t just obligate and universal herbivory that was novel to Holy Luna, though. There was also the way their Sacrae Scholae Lunae functioned—their ‘Mages Tower’ equivalent. There, every student as also a proctor, and information flowed freely and openly between the eladrin. Now, here on Earth, and especially alone with Izirina Henzler, you wonder if that might not ALSO be something best left on the moon. For all her infectious enthusiasm, you cannot help but remember the little girl who you grew up with: a girl who sought to escape her body, her society, her whole world… Who risked your life, and hers, and Costella’s, in pursuit of that escapism. You have learned a great deal since you last saw her, about the nature of the gods, the universe, about bodies and souls and the fate of all the cosmos. You have mastered the <Rite of Attunement> and the <Improved Aetherial Form>, and between this and your gift for the living alchemy of Chimericism, you suspect you are on the precipice of a power which could very literally change the world… And here is Izzy, that brilliant, talented, inscrutable mage, wearing the black robes and hat of the Archmage's own elite arcane agents.
But how much do you trust her? How much should you share with her?
>Tell Izzy everything about your adventures in the Sylvan Realms and on Holy Luna>Tell her only the basics, and guard the rest as holy secrets of the fair-folk>Hide or exclude something specific [what?]>Write-inThere is also just the matter of… Well, of other, more personal disclosures. Seeing Izzy again, one thing that strikes you is how good confidence and excitement looks on her. You saw a glimpse of this Izirina Henzler once, long ago, but you were both so young. Now she is in her full womanhood, as you are now a man. She is your first lover—your only one, aside from a brief and unsatisfying tryst—and she is, undeniably, lovely… A beautiful woman, literally glowing with life, escapes strands of hair blowing in an unseen breeze. You may never know how much of the gravity she exerts on you is spiritual entanglement from that first sue of the <Rite of Attunement>, amateur and unconventional, but she DOES call to you… But, by the same token, so does Costella, and while that girl is a genuine paragon of physical magnificence, and a wonderful and supportive friend, you know for a FACT that at least the initial impetus for THAT attraction is the result of magic.
Should you broach the subject with Izzy? You missed her, you care for her… But do you love her?
>Yes—confess your feelings, and kiss the girl>No—hold your tongue, you’re still not sure of yourself, and this isn’t the time>Actually… This is probably a better discussion to have when Costella returns as well>Write-in
