Emilia Foster

"Because I know you’re just dying  to.”

Emilia nodded. She sort of wished she knew what type of witch she was before the accident-- whether she was any good or had any areas she was particularly good at, and things like that-- but there was also something exciting about getting to discover all that as she went along now. "Thank you," she replied. She was pleased with herself but, not letting herself get too cocky, she added, "Now three more to go..."

Sebastian let out a sigh, “That’s quite the story. I’m sorry that you had to go through that.” Sebastian gave the girl a glance out of the corner of his eye, he wasn’t sure what to think of her, but someone who lost their memories couldn’t be invested too much in this town and therefore would probably give more information easily. The vampire waited a moment as he considered what to say next. “And has there been any explanations yet? I read a bit about them online when I found out where I was moving but all the answers I got were really vague.” Sebastian obviously knew in his gut that the disappearances were caused by supernaturals who were being careless and sloppy, but he didn’t know yet if this girl was aware of supernaturals or not. He nodded politely as she started in the correct direction and followed after her, “Well that’s good. It’s nice to have someone to walk with. It’s been a while since I’ve had a friendly conversation like this.” 

Emilia shrugged. "It happens. I'm just trying to move past it and not get too hung up on it," she commented, fidgeting a bit by adjusting the strap of her purse on her shoulder. She didn't mind talking about what had happened, but she also didn't want people to think that she was using what had happened to garner sympathy. Emilia didn't want to be treated any differently than anyone else. "Not really. As far as I can tell, all the answers they've come up with are kinda vague," the witch replied, "There are lots of theories." It wasn't a complete lie. After all, the humans in town had no idea what was happening-- and even the supernaturals weren't entirely sure-- but Emilia was sure she wasn't the only one in town who would guess everything going on had to do with the sheer quantity of supernaturals there were here. She smiled, glancing at him. "Really? Why-- no friends where you came from?" she questioned, "Actually, I don't think I asked-- where're you moving here from?" She was attempting to guide the conversation away from the topic of the supernatural. She didn't know whether Sebastian knew about the supernatural or was one himself, but she didn't intend to be the one to reveal that world to him if he wasn't already aware of it.

Poison & Wine || Sebastian & Emilia

"There is," Emilia replied with a nod and a quick glance his way as she explained, "I was in an accident a few months ago, and I lost all my memory. I'm still learning all there is to know about this town just as much as many of the newcomers." The witch nodded as Sebastian mentioned the disappearances. "I've heard about those," she replied, a slight frown on her face, "Yeah, they are pretty strange." Emilia was certain that the disappearances probably had something to do with all the supernatural beings in town, but of course she was not going to tell him that. "This way," she replied, continuing to lead the way, and smiling at him at his next comment, "Oh no, no worries-- I don't mind."

Alek glanced down at the water, admiring its icy sheen. “You have a point. Elemental magic has always been my niche. My sister has her niche as well.” Alek answered mechanically, ignoring the bitter taste at the admission. He loved his sister, but could hardly control the envy he felt towards her prowess for magic. “Now,” He started by focusing back in on her. “it is your turn. Defrost this water.” Alek requested with a gesture to the cup. “It is a lot easier to warm things up, since we are naturally warm beings. Focus on something that makes you warm, that gives you life and raises you up. Then channel it into the water.” Alek finished, his eyes falling back to hers.

Emilia nodded. "Does that mean I have my own niche, too?" she questioned, wondering what hers might be. She had so far been relatively successful in charms and smaller spells, usually helping the vampires in town, but she wondered if perhaps she had her own specialty when it came to magic. Emilia furrowed her eyebrows as he instructed her to defrost the water, unsure how to go about doing that. His suggestion to focus on something that makes her warm was certainly helpful. She immediately knew to focus on her faith-- which was the single strongest driving force in her life at the moment-- placing a finger against the ice. It took a moment, but she soon felt the ice slowly but surely begin to melt. Emilia grinned up at him, pleased at this initial sign of success.

Emilia gave him a tight-lipped smile as he explained that elemental magic was just difficult for some people. "Yeah, well, clearly I'm one of those who has difficulty with it," she sighed, watching as he walked over behind the counter and brought back a bowl of water with him. "What's that for?" she questioned, returning the smile as he gave his explanation about water being easier to control. She stared at the water as it became ice, a look of fascination on her face. "That's no fair," she replied, glancing back up at him, "You make it look way easier than it actually is."
