[ here's a guy kind of hunched over what looks to be an amber-colored mitten on one hand! just one. a singular! mitten! it's so lonely.......
he sighs and to himself, dully because he's so used to talking to himself: ]
Shame I can't make the other... looks like this only goes so far.

[she glances towards him as she walks past, holding an amber colored small, tattered blanket of her own. she's normally not the type to strike up a conversation, but the calmness emanating from the item she's created is making it a little more likely.]
Is it warm?
Is it warm?
[ he eyes the blanket and glances back down at his mitten, the amber color of it soothing as he examines the fibers. the comfort it brings is minimal, but oddly enough, that's about as much as he can tolerate. ]
It is... just a little bit, but it's certainly better than before.
[ he nods towards her blanket now ]
Is this your color?

[ he nods towards her blanket now ]

[and she nods in turn, glancing down at her blanket.]
It is... strange. Being able to do this.

Spells?
[her magic system is pretty different from spellcasting, so she looks curious.]
Maybe we're supposed to specialize in one thing. Though... I don't know why.

Yes, I knew a few before coming here. Spells to mark an enemy, to create a minor illusion. That sort of thing...
[ he turns his little mitten over in his hands ]
With a color name like "Crystalline" I wonder if it's a play off of the reflective properties of crystal. It would at the very least mean we could try and double our food or water with the help of those who utilize Sunrise. Meager as it is.

...Those sound useful. We did not have anything similar where I come from.
[she tilts her head.]
Do you think they would help with that?
[she tilts her head.]
Do you think they would help with that?
There are people who spend their whole lives learning spells, and some people simply come upon it naturally. Spells for battle, spells for growing things, to heal, to speak to animals...
[ he can't help but trail off a bit before giving a shrug. ]
I think if we're to have any success in gaining a foothold on this place, it's worth a shot.

[most of those make sense to her, but after a pause of surprise:]
For... speaking to animals?
[a tilt of her head.]
Is that our goal, do you think?

[she's looking around the new areas they've found today, and when she comes to the art studio, there's a little frown on her face. when percy enters and sees her, she has a small mound of glitter held in the palm of one of her hands that she's staring at intently.]
...Do you know what this is intended to do?
...Do you know what this is intended to do?
[ glitter frightens me, but i'm ready.
percy eyes the small, sparkling pile in her hand and leans a bit to get a better look. not too close. the second lenses of his glasses slot into place. ]
Flashy decoration, perhaps? It probably catches the light rather nicely.
There's quite a lot here to make all sorts of art. I'm not surprised if it's to add some sparkle to your work. Though I could see some other potential uses...

[she's frowning lightly at it until he gets to that last sentence.]
Other potential uses?

[ he'll take just a bit off the tope of the pile and rub it on the bare fingers peeking out of his gloves (his trigger finger and thumb) ]
It's coarse enough to be an irritant, and... [ he is never going to get this off his clothing without really picking at it, but he's used to getting messy so. he wipes the tip of his glitter finger off on the knee of his trousers. ] it clings. If you packaged it carefully, you could make little "bombs" that explode upon impact.

[there's a pause of surprise, but - she almost looks a little bit impressed?]
That is the first thing you think of?

[she pauses for a long moment, thoughtful.]
So you think another fight will be necessary shortly.

[ a paper airplane goes sailing through the office kingdom of bubblegum. it looks to be decorated with small curling designs done in black pen.
pok! it lands after making a very small loop-de-loop in the air.
another goes flying, this one easy to pin point from a particular cubicle. it has little highlighter marks in bright blue and cuts through the air until it smacks into a wall.
investigate? ]

[investigate she does! after seeing a few of them go flying, she's wandering towards the source, curious.]
Hello...?
Hello...?
Paper... planes?
[carefully picking one of them up, curious.]
Is that what these are called? I do not recognize them. What is their purpose?

Yes, I found a whole book about making them in the library. Thought I'd use it to pass the time.
[ he lifts it up ]
They're mostly just for a bit of fun. I like constructing them, seeing which ones I can land in that pot over there. [ he points across the office towards the window that makes a pretty decent target, and the potted plant with approximately two planes in it. ] Want to try?

I see. It is like... [taking a moment to remember the words] Mechanics or engineering, but with paper instead?
[there's a pause, before she nods.]
I guess just once could not hurt.
