[ Kostos thinks for a long moment. Unfortunately, that last line was all the charm he has. He's out now. So at the end of that long moment, he wobbles his head like sort of but not really and says, ]
No. Anyone can do that.
[ Which, shit, sounds condescending—
And it is. A little. Kostos has no idea why mages who can choose not to risk possession (more so than usual) and have the Templars breathe down their necks (more so than usual) and have to deal with spirits (more so than usual) would volunteer for it just to be able to reattach limbs or whatever.
—but, shit. ]
I mean, people learn to be healers. We [ he twitches a hand toward himself ] just happen. [ Unfortunately, says his tone. But after another pause, one long enough that it almost indicates he's done talking, he adds, ] Thank you.
[ An eyebrow slooowly rises at the condescending tone in his voice. And his words. The whole package is kind of condescending. But it's not Beleth's circus, nor her monkey, so she'll leave the bickering over magic to the mages. Not like it effects her.
So it's a little surprising that she feels a pang of sympathy over that whole we just happen bit. It's the tone that gets her, the tone of...'this is how I was born, whether or not I like it'.
So when she speaks, she does it with a small smile. ]
Well, I'm glad that you happened, then. And that you happened into my division. That is an incredible gift that you have, Kostos. I look forward to seeing what we can do together.
