Would it be too naive to ask if this is what magic is used for in your world?

[spellcollect]

It would be pleasant, wouldn't it? But it's also used for other things. Some of the most useful and ancient magic does things like this... cleaning laundry or statues or pots. Finding lost objects. But most mages use it as a tool for killing.

[ Including her, to be fair. ]

[mommacat]

[ He claps his hands. There's no surprise to find that magic is used for a weapon. ]

It can clean for you, too? I'm really jealous, now. That sounds way more useful than using it to fight.

[spellcollect]

That's why it's the more powerful magic.

[ She nods. The fighting is very useful, yes. But being able to instantly clean your laundry? Priceless. ]

[mommacat]

[ Fai can fight. He's extremely powerful on the battlefield, but this is something his magic can't touch. It's as if he'd find too much value in it if it could do more than kill. ]

Show off.

[ He says it more in agreement and with warmth; he knows she isn't, and he's the one who asked him to show off.

Fai places the finished flower crown on his head. ]

If you were a princess, would you like this one?

[spellcollect]

[ She regards him curiously. ]

Quite possibly. But I haven't met many princesses.

[ Not that she's interacted with extensively, anyway. ]

I don't think I'm a good judge of what princesses enjoy.

[mommacat]

I've never been a princess, either. But she's also a cute girl. Is this something a cute girl would like?

[spellcollect]

I think so.

[ Well, small children also enjoyed it. And so did the grown men of her adventuring party, so... ]

[mommacat]

[ Fai can't read her mind, but it may seem like he can when he asks the followup question. ]

What about a warrior boy? Should I go with blue, too?

[spellcollect]

...yes. I think that would do nicely.

[ Oof, her heart. ]

[mommacat]

Maybe then we can make another one for a really, really big puppy. But he'd want it to be really pink and pretty.

[ Or Fai is picking on a certain ninja. ]

[spellcollect]

...pink flowers I might be able to do. I've seen a few of those.
