❰ adalia isn't really in the business of caution. the nature of her existence is such that she acts and expects the world to conform to her will, simply because as a sorcerer she can usually make it do so.

also, if anyone tries to attack her, she'll hit them with so much lightning they'll be set on fire. that helps her confidence.

as lauralae rattles off ingredients to replace those suggested in her book, adalia pulls a piece of charcoal out of a pouch on her belt and begins marking down the substitutions in the margins of the book. when lauralae gets to spark gravel, she looks up, brow furrowed. ❱

Hmm... I hadn't considered that. I suppose I could doctor the recipe, I can find ignitable substances anywhere, and add in the blood lotus to confuse the intruder for a time. That's... actually ingenious!

❰ back to scribbling down notes in the margins, a bright smile on her face as she does. ❱
