"Ummm... Well, normal people are normal people whether they have magic or not, but then there are the awesome people that have magic and they're mages and there are the awesome people that don't have magic and they're heroes, or something... I don't really know but I think that's how it works!" Sethunya fiddled absent-mindedly with a hair ribbon. She'd made that up on the spot, really, but she thought it made sense. On the other hand, Keoni seemed to think that any magic at all was amazing, which it so was not. All she even did with hers was make stupid costumes. She wasn't even allowed to use any of the really good colours. Apparently everything had to be tasteful, which she was sure was code for boring.
Death wish? Surely not! Death would be horrible, just lying there, forever, not going on any adventures or anything! It probably also involved doing chores and eating all her vegetables. Just awful! She shook her head emphatically. "No no no! We don't look for trouble for us! We look for someone else in trouble and we help them and then good things will happen, and I'll be a mage and you'll be a hero! It'll be great! Trust me!"
