The road to hell is build by parents with good intentions

[Coren]

“Yes, thats the gist of it.” At her question if he was going to go crazy he didn't need to think for very long. “Of course I am going insane. Its just one of the things a mage needs to make his peace with when he starts out on that road.” Coren shrugged at that, not really seeing a problem with that fact anymore, sane or insane, it didn't really matter much in this world anymore anyway.
When she asked him why he decided to learn magic or if it was born with it he felt a headache coming on. She really didn't know anything about magic.

“I learned it because I always was a curious person who wants to know how the world worked and how everything fit together to form a seamless whole. I wasn't about to let fear and the hatred of the masses get in the way of learning how one of the biggest mysteries to us all worked. Insanity and being an outcast is just a small price to pay for that.” Coren said in a steadfast tone, he was hurt because what had happenend, that was quite obvious, but he still found it an acceptable price for what he had learned. “And no, nobody gets born with magic, unless its a gnosis. Its a skill like any other, you need to put in time and effort to learn it right.”[/frame]

Alea was giving Coren a strange look, as she edged slightly away from him. He was deliberately doing something that would almost certainly drive him mad.... was he mad already? He'd just said he wasn't born with magic. He chose this. On purpose. "I...see..." She said, not sure what else to say. "Well... good luck with that, I guess..."

She shuffled her feet as an awkward silence threatened to stretch before them. She couldn't think of anything else she wanted to know from him; she'd learned more about magic today than she could ever have bargained for. It was, perhaps, time to strategically withdraw. "Well, I, um... I'd better go make sure my parents aren't doing anything, um... that I'll regret."

And then, because she was perhaps not entirely sane herself, she punched him one last time in the arm. "This doesn't make us friends, you know," she said, winking, before running off.

OOCSorry I couldn't make her more okay with magic like I originally wanted, but you pretty much convinced her that magic is insane ^^; Should we wrap this thread up?

Notes: Whelp, the cat is out of the bag. Coren didn’t seem quite as upset as I thought he might be. You might consider focusing on some more of his internal reactions and adding detail there. This was a good thread overall and I always enjoy a good spat between Coren and Alea. They really would make good marriage partners if it didn’t mean one of their imminent deaths.

Notes: This was a good thread and had some serious implications for Coren. I was quite amused to see the parents of these two attempting to match them together. They would be really great together if it didn’t mean that one of them would inevitably kill the other. I always have to laugh when I see them get into one of their spats and ignore all else in order to slap each other around a bit.
