Mal brightened at that, "There really was a Mage Council? Maker, we could have used that out in the field. Have you ever seen a group of pro-Circle, anti-Circle mages fight about something as simple as what side of the river we should make camp on. I was told I was oppressing them by saying I wanted to be on higher ground."
A roll of the eyes, before she looked up at Korrin, her green eyes narrowing thoughtfully. "Well I wish more people saw it your way. I'm okay with being a pariah but I kinda hate being told I'm unreasonable and evil when all I want to do is have a safe place for mages to be."

Even more so, honestly. And isn't that why we fought the Rebellion anyways? To have our own choice to - Maker's Balls, I'm sorry. You're actually being decent and showing me where to go and I'm drowning you in rhetoric and sass without even telling you my name."
