∞ 04: Preening

As much as I dislike these new appendages, they provide something to do in between reading books and furnishing my room. Though I feel even more bird-like picking at my wings to keep them presentable. Hmph.

At least those annoying flowers are no longer invading ... everything.

Exercising?

[chikaidestroyer]

Hello, Anita. Yes, exercising.

[redhaired_anita]

I've gotten a lot stronger with these things, but nowhere near flying or traveling.

[chikaidestroyer]

I don't think they will ever be strong enough for flying. They're quite small as it is.

[redhaired_anita]

Then what's the point of them? Yeah, they're small, but why do we need them?

[chikaidestroyer]

It would probably be better to ask an actual Filial. Perhaps they grow larger as a Filial grows older. Which begs the question of if the Filial have extended lifespans...

[redhaired_anita]

Guess now would be a good time to find Carol. How many 'real' filial are here anyway?

[chikaidestroyer]

It's difficult to say. I haven't spoken to everyone here, so it's possible there's more than the schoolteacher.

[redhaired_anita]

What else is different about us besides the wings and the talking to animals thing?

[chikaidestroyer]

I've heard a few mention powers that Filial naturally have. I doubt they are powerful, considering the Malnosso were able to overwhelm them.

[redhaired_anita]

Ooh like what?

[chikaidestroyer]

Elemental magic. The Filial seem attuned to nature, so that would make sense.

[redhaired_anita]

Huuuuuuh. Any idea how to use it?

[chikaidestroyer]

Not at all. Natural magic is not common in my world for humans. It may be an entire different system to what others know.

[redhaired_anita]

Hmmmmmmm. Guess I should find a filial and ask. Magic would be cool!
