002 [OPEN TO BOTH COURTS | AUDIO]
...right. So, I certainly still have this thing, so I suppose I can use it to ask for a bit of advice.
[Kayneth sounds really, really tired, more than a little haggard, and at least a little cold. At least having a fur coat is... kind of helping? Okay, maybe not. He has been eating deer for like five days and he has no idea where he is, and the fact that he is a small carnivore is probably keeping the taste from being a bit rank so there's that, at least...
But really.
The outdoors are awful, and even more so when you are a polecat. How do most mammals tolerate it?]
Let's presume that you were somewhere between Mair and Eaglais, and you began traveling north at a somewhat impaired speed because you were hoping to head for the Station's fairy ring and your horse... well, horses are absolutely terrible creatures, or at least this one was.
[Translation... it may have been spooked during a failed trapping attempt during the hunt for the White Hart. He doesn't want to talk about it, nor does he want to talk about the fact that he is now a polecat.
These two events may be related.]
It's been five days, and you've apparently hit a river bank and there is absolutely no bridge in sight. Are... there any ferries that traverse the River Astar? At all? ...Is anyone even traveling that way? I'd really rather make it the whole way myself, but this is getting positively Sisyphean and I'd really not want to run out of supplies before getting anywhere. I'd take a video, but absolutely everything looks the same here and I have no idea if any of this is remarkable at all.
...wait, is that ---
[...he goes silent for a moment or two.]
...ah, and it's started snowing.
[There's a long, heavy sigh.]
I'm beginning to suspect I'm not terribly fond of the great outdoors, really.

And honestly, while that seems safer, I imagine it'd get dull when I've got a whole world at my disposal. I just need some better form of transport, that's all.

Not everyone is an Average One, Rin. ] Like a proper witch.

...but I'm not a witch?

As well as wiry boys in pointy blue hats.

Anyway, I don't care what the common people think about us, as they're decidedly wrong for a very good reason.

[ Time to buckle in and listen to this. ] Why is that?
It's your responsibility as the teacher to provide guidance to individuals like me, so consider this an expression of my desire to learn.

Of course, I imagine that it would make things that much more obnoxious in the hopefully unlikely event that magecraft was exposed to the public, given that commoners would have completely unrealistic expectations.
