Glass magic, the weakest of magic, the most fragile, the least effective... Or, it should be but what about a glass soldier that doesn't break? A glass dragon that could easily be considered a real one?
She's tired of being looked down on ju...

"... What is this?" Whipping around with a giddy grin, I opened my mouth, Alex just raised a warning brow, telling me I was not in fact forgiven. Clearing my throat I relaxed into a smile, hopping over equally happy he was here, Adrian watching me with a hum. A careful arm snagging my waist before I could attach myself to the giant who was standing tall with his burly arms crossed in front of him. Huffing I blew a ringlet from my face, one arm turning into two as Adrian picked me up, gently setting me on his feet without bothering to unrestraint me.
"We're making a potions lab for me," I whined softly, glaring up at Adrian who just offered me a dazzling dimple-filled smile. The bastard. Wriggling around, I pushed at the arms under my own and tried to kick off his leg, but he didn't budge.
"For you?" Alex asked, glancing at my struggles but offering no help, before looking back to the construction. Latros walking around the few workers I had been gifted with a simple letter to my father. "They kick you out of the third-year lab?"
Pausing in my biting of a wrist I glanced at the workers myself before detaching my teeth, "Kind of? I couldn't make a scene anymore and-"
"You've got a mutt," Adrian cut me off, gaining Alex's attention, mutt. A wonderful way of putting it.
"Mutt?" He asked softly, understanding quickly that the dog was not a dog.
"They gave me a guard dog," I nodded, glancing in the direction of my relaxed mutt, who was laying beneath the shade of a tree, dozing off uncaring for his job. Something I couldn't help but want to join, the clouds gently decorating the sky with a calm breeze to guide them, the weather not hot nor cool, with flowers beginning to open and a wonderfully sweet scent in the air.
"That is an elite mage of the council," He stated, slowly, looking between us with a harsh gaze. Our words nearing treason. Glancing over at the dog assigned to me, his red eyes closed and ashy hair resting against his hands. Peacefully napping in the dirt. Where he should stay, preferably beaten into it. Blinking, a crackle of blue in the corner of my eyes I let out a cautious hum, following it to the peaceful sky.
"... I suppose you're right," I smiled pleasantly at him, quickly earning a narrowed gaze.
"Lilith, where'd you learn to smile like that?" He changed the subject while I couldn't help but look up at Adrian in mild confusion. He gently swiveled his head from side to side before motioning to Alex as if it was not a weird question.
"I... I don't understand?" I said honestly, looking between them, Adrian finally letting me go, almost leaving me to stumble over his feet, but Alex had grabbed me from under my arms like I was a child. Lifting me with ease, my eyes stared at my dangling feet for a long moment before I met his distraught and slightly upset gaze. "It was just my smile?" I tried again, bringing out even more disappointment as he let out a very loud sigh.
