Thank you. [ She takes it in the spirit it is intended, and there's that word again, intent but Red truly seems complimentary. And while she is unaccustomed to such compliments when she is this deep in her work mentality it does not register quite so deeply to cause a fluster.
And then Red continues. And it registers. And on her end of the line Adelaide goes ever so slightly pink. ]
Ah- yes. Court is overrated. Something I have to endure, now, if I mean to make use of my name and family's influence to help the mages of the Inquisition and the Inquisition at large. [ And the dancing had been lovely. She does not have near enough opportunities to dance- but it is a waste of time. ]
Well, yes? It takes a great deal more focus and precision than my ice sculptures, but in its molten state glass is quite fluid, though more viscous than water- a bit like working with honey or syrup- which I have sculpted as well on a dare. Usually in a shape that we would pour wine or brandy in the top of that had a slide so it would pick up the flavor of whatever I'd frozen as it traveled down to a glass. Or our mouths. Depending on how intoxicated we were.
[ ah, youth. ]
It is nice to hear you approve- I have long been a part of a fraternity of mages that insists that magic ought to be used to help others and tends to frown on using it in ways that seem frivolous. Sculpting is...it helps no one, truly, it is not entirely productive beyond an exercise in precision and focus. Aside from the weekly lessons in ice sculpting, I do not often have the time.
