001 ♝ video ♝ open to both courts
[ While the small stack of books in front of her have certainly come from Caer Scima's library, Ariadne is in her room within the castle, seated on her bed. Asleep with its nose sticking out from her back, head resting on an open book, is a bandersnatch cub -- rather like a cat, it appears to have decided to 'help' her research. ]
If you could protect something -- say, a building -- from anything, what would you protect it from? I've thought of fire, high winds, earthquakes, mosquitoes, falling trees, and hail so far.
[ In the background, the door to her room appears to open slightly; with the wind, perhaps. ]
I'm an architecture student, back home, and there are a lot of possibilities here.
[ She looks like she's about to say more, but just then a glowing red imp leaps onto her head, screeching and yanking at her hair. The bandersnatch cub jerks awake and Ariadne screams, the locket flipped over so that all that's shown for a moment are the sheets on her bed. It's turned up again a moment later, falling onto the floor and on its side this time, followed by a loud thwack.
The imp falls to the ground, dazed; in the next moment, a thick, leather-bound book with a pawprint on its spine slams into it a second time before the bandersnatch cub races forward and grabs onto the imp's legs, shaking its little head and growling in a way that would be adorable if it weren't trying to maim something. ]
Oh, don't- [ before the locket is closed by the hand reaching for it, there's the sight of broken skin and blood -- sharp little imp teeth had found their mark. ]

Are you alright?
[Elincia looks deeply concerned but since this young woman didn't look like she resided in Caer Glaem, she can't exactly offer her services as a healer.]
To answer your question, are you including things beyond physical elements?

[ The rag she's holding on it is probably going to be a lost cause, but at least she's got pressure on the wound. ]
Yes, if I can.
Re: video
[That...that isn't the most perfect first aid but Elincia can't heal from this distance.
She looks thoughtful]
Malice. Ill intentions against the inhabitants. Castles can fall just as easily from attacks on the inside as those from more obvious enemies.
[She speaks from experience]

[ Ariadne is admittedly also very distracted by all the responses, and not quite certain she wants to venture out into the hallway in case there are more glowing red imps waiting for her. ]
I suppose there must be spells that do that, huh?
[ Not that she knows any of them. This magic thing is pretty new. ]
no subject
[Surely some library had them]
no subject
[ Well. She doesn't want to screw up, basically. ]
no subject
[Hmm then she can use it on her own hand?]
From what I know, healing magic rarely ever backfires.
no subject
I don't even know what healing magic backfiring would be like.
no subject
[She's never actually seen it happen-! But it's good to account for the possibility considering how different worlds had different styles of magic]
At worst, it just simply wouldn't work, I imagine.
no subject
[ That wouldn't be so much backfiring as overdoing it, though. ]
no subject
[She can't quite imagine it]
no subject
no subject
I'm not sure it would be counted as healing magic in that case.
[a pause]
Though, if you would like someone to guide you through the healing process while you fix your hand, I would be happy to help.
no subject
[ She's not sure why it makes her so nervous in comparison to the concealment magic; perhaps because it had been Elrond who had taught her, and she doesn't want to disappoint. ]
no subject
no subject
[ Not that she knows of, anyway.
A+ magicking. ]
no subject
[She'll just dig up one of her staffs to demonstrate]
no subject
[ But she doesn't have one, and this is fairy magic, not magic from any of the number of worlds whose people have ended up here. ]
But actually getting one is apparently difficult.
no subject
[Elincia has never seen anyone use one herself either]
Perhaps there is someone around who knows how to make one.
no subject
If not, I'm not too bothered -- means I have less to carry around.
no subject
[She kind of wonders if this woman has met Ike yet. They would get along on that point]
no subject
Right. And I wouldn't want to lose it.
no subject
[Says Elincia, several days before the Kow decides to run off with her staffs]
no subject
[ oops ]
no subject
[oops indeed]
