It was a bit of a busy scene on the outskirts of Dojoville, as Verdantus was busy clearing out an empty lot. The tall Fey was clad in worker’s jeans and a forest green shirt and jacket. His hands were covered in dirt, but still gleamed with a faint green glow as he carefully dug his trowel, and about thirty more just like it, held in invisible hands, moving in parallel with the one in his hands. He carefully lifted up the plants from the dirt and moved them to replant towards the edges, muttering a little poem over them as he planted them back.

He continued with his work until a large circle touching every side of the square lot was cleared, and then started walking around it, not pausing as he waved a greeting to the nearby person.

He opens his mouth to speak and is promptly interrupted by a pixie flying quickly out of a door, followed promptly by Angie wielding a flyswater. “Whatsthebigideaandhowsabrownie-OH!!!” The pixie says extremely quickly before it notices Verdantus. “Thisisyourhousethen,GreenGale?” It says nervously. “Puckenfragen, get out of my home.” “Rightsirsorry” The tiny Faerie zips out a window, which Angie promptly shuts before offering the two seated two cups of steaming warm tea.

[i]Natalie was a coffee girl at heart, though she wouldn't look a gift horse in the mouth and accepted the tea, which she sipped on lightly. [/i]
-
It was quite good, warm in temperature and flavor, but soothes with a fading hint of pepermint. “Apologies for that. pixies do learn to fly from birth and they’re endlessly obnoxious for it.”
-
[i]"Well, considering they must fly everywhere it's no surprise they learn so quickly." [/i]
-
“Yes. And to answer your earlier question, I can use magic in the same way you can use water. It’s something you need to survive and you’re mostly made of it.”
-
[i]"Right, never mind then." [/i]
-
“What of yourself. I can tell you’ve got some magic in you, though wether your a mage like me, or have a more sorcerous bent like my robin, I can’t tell.”
-
[i]"Well, I was born with magic in my genes. My DNA is apparently coded in a way that lets me have gravity magic, but I still don't know how it works. Over time I've learned to use it how I do now." [/i]
-
“Sorcerer then, and quite a potent talent.”
-
[i]"Yeah. Thing is, I only know gravity magic. Hence why I was inquiring about your magic." [/i]
-
“Well, I’m Sihde, so I can command life to a certain extent, though my nature is wind, so that’s what I’m best at. I’ve spent a long time studying how to use other types of magic though, so I can do a bit of everything.”
-
[i]"You control life? Like, you can create people?" [/i]
-
“Not exactly. I can’t create it, but I can greatly enhance its rate of development, such as accelerating plant growth.”
-
[i]"Interesting. Can you reverse the effects too?"[/i]
-
“Things naturally turn back without my help, but no, I can’t de-age or kill things with it. That would be my cousin’s ability.”
-
[i]"Who's your cousin?" [/i]
-
“A fellow of autumn, the lord of winds that send red leaves tumbling downwards.”
-
[i]"So he's, like, a nature magician too?" [/i]
-
“Let’s call it that.”
-
[i]"So what's he specialize in?" [/i]
-
“The inevitable, death and taxes.”
-
[i]"Taxes?" [/i]
-
“He is the most vile and repugnant of creatures after artificial life made from iron, a politician.”
-
[i]"Riiight..." [/i]
-
“I spend my time mostly as a tutor, teacher, and potion maker, though occasionally I’ll make some scrolls or deal with a problem directly.”
