Adaine never asked for this, it's unfair that Adaine got wrapped up in everything, that Adaine was just expected to drop everything and assimilate for the sake of a role she didn't ask for, Adaine was far too young to be the hero that Aguefort expected her to be. But Aelwyn... it feels like more credit than she deserves. She's great, one of the greatest wizards of this age, if she just rots away and uses her talents for nothing? Then she's truly worth nothing at all.
And yet, with all that said, for reasons she doesn't even fully understand, she still feels herself beginning to cry.] Shit. [She rubs her eyes furiously, mortified by the humiliation.] God. Uhm, thank you. I don't really know what to say.
