This isn't something that I typically find myself asking or even thinking about, to be honest.
But I suppose I'm of age now, and "of age" is a somewhat irrelevant concept when the countries and laws we come from no longer exist, isn't it?

With that said:

In our current circumstance, where might one find an alcoholic drink?

Diana Cavendish. A pleasure.

I suppose I can understand your malaise. It is frustrating to not be able to do anything about the mess we've been forced to leave behind.

Did you fight the dragon?

[earthy]

nice to make your acquaintance, too, Diana Cavendish

i did fight the dragon
or i tried to, anyway
not sure it did any good
what about you?

[fiendennor]

Just Diana is fine.

I was more preoccupied with helping with the evacuation.
My magic is versatile and useful, but I don't think it would have done much to something that size.

[earthy]

i don't know if anyone could have done anything against power and darkness like that

[Which is, frankly, incredibly disheartening, but anyway.]

are you a mage?

[fiendennor]

With the tools available to us... no, perhaps not.
I'm a witch, yes.

[earthy]

like with a pointy hat and a broom?

[fiendennor]

Yes, actually.
Though the hat is only part of my formal school uniform. I don't usually wear it.

[earthy]

i see. was that a school for witches or a school for becoming a witch?

[fiendennor]

Primarily the first. Most people who attended Luna Nova grew up in magical families, so knew the basics already.

But it was the second for at least one person.

[The one she's currently missing.]

[earthy]

which were you?

[fiendennor]

The first. My family is a long line of witches.

[The oldest in England, actually.]
