Fiona smiled warmly in greeting to the Blue Fae, though she was a little irked that her words seemed to have failed to penetrate the bubble of solitude that surrounded the man to whom she’d directed her introduction. She nodded towards the younger Fae however he seemed rather out of balance and slightly cheerier than she liked in others, but that was to be expected with most Fae from what she was led to understand.
”I’ve heard of you, from old tales in the archives of Kythianna. Very interesting stories regardless of whether they ring true or not.” She replied in greeting before addressing his younger companion. ”You’ve got talent young one; I hope that your Father Superior has been encouraging you to develop it.”
Though sadly before either could respond to her words Father Superior’s attention snapped back to the duel before them and Fiona could feel him itching to intervene as ripples of energy surrounded him. She tensed a little as her eyes darted from the two Fae beside her to their companion in the ring being beaten back by the general, though before it could escalate more from his interference the younger of their number made to stop his movement. Niven then turned to cheer on his companion, shouting what he believed to be encouragement yet seemed only to agitate the combatant as he failed to echo the suggestion and cried out in protest.
Fiona could certainly sense a great deal of magical potential in both of the fighters though the Fae certainly contained a greater depth to his powers than the Khaldorian yet his lack of magical use in the dual was strange, especially when his opponent is channelling his own magic into combat with devastating effectiveness. It seemed to her that Zexen was gifted but his potential untapped and lacking control or guidance, which could become an issue if left untamed. She mused over why the Blue Fae would allow for one of his kin to languish without proper discipline, especially given the nature of their magic and their kind it puzzled her as to how Zexen was lacking in his studies. The discussion between the two Fae intrigued her as she listened about his powers becoming uncontrollable as he tried to tap into the same magic that Father Superior controlled with such ease, which suggested both uncertainty as well as a great source of magic.
As the mulled over the possible causes for the Fae’s magical impotence the meister, for she could think of no better word to describe him given his recent display of magic save perhaps a higher title, stepped forward and all but demanded the right to train Zexen. His tone caused Fiona to chuckle to herself as she refilled her glass with a much darker liquid having grown tiresome of the local wine from the summit and its lack of flavour. She had to admit it couldn’t hurt to train the youngling, even if his probably out stripped her own life by many years he still seemed far younger yet not as that of Niven. She’d probably have stepped forward to add her own voice to the debate had it not been for the soft voice beside her that finally decided to acknowledge that the world around him existed.
"Skandar." He answered simply. "Prince of Ashkara."
She turned and narrowed her eyes slightly towards the man before trying again with her failed greeting from earlier.
”You can call me Fiona. I represent my people since someone must. You clearly didn’t find much enjoyment with neither the dual nor the company of its spectators did you? Going from your silence thus far at any rate.”
She turned away slight as her focus returned to the combatants to see that Dorian was now to train the Fae to better control his abilities, a decision which surprised her given the highborn nature of the Father Superior.
”I wonder why he acquiesced so easily to the idea of his kin being trained by a mere mortal.” She muttered to herself, her arms curling round her staff almost lovingly. Giving the impression that her words had been more directed towards it than it had to the second prince of Ashkara.
”Also,” She looked over her shoulder and gave the man a warm and genuine smile ”If the entertainment is lacking why don’t you partake and improve it for us all? I'm sure an actual magical dual would be instructive at the very least.”
