[K'rihnn listens to what his partner has to say. He puts his arm around G'raha's waist as the older tia curls up against him. A small, fond smile lifts his lips for a moment as the Exarch covers them with the blanket, and curls his tail around the redhead's in response. He reaches over with his free hand to gently scratch the base of an ear in affection.]
Mayhap there's no natural aptitude, but even with the Tower's help, you would've needed to study and practice very hard. That makes a tangible difference, too, Raha. Even still, I thought you were rather gallant with your sword and shield, and inspiring with how you used your magics to harm or mend.
[The purple-haired Miqo'te brushes some of the hair out of G'raha's face. He senses this isn't the only source of stress, but he doesn't have more than a niggling feeling. That's not a good enough reason to press, though... if he's being honest... he's scared to push it further. Doing so might push G'raha away or make him think the younger tia really isn't worth the effort if he keeps pushing. K'rihnn can feel a panic start to burn and bubble in his stomach, so he pushes aside his misgivings for today.]
Aye, I think that's a good place to begin. If not new insights there, we may need to look outside this city and to other places. Could be that there are legends and other stories that could pertain to our situation, too. I could handle looking into that side of it if you handle the magic?
