[The sudden surprised exhale of breath that leaves the blonde was audible. The way she turned her gaze sharply up at the voice was far too much like one caught doing something they shouldn't.]

I'm sorry.

[The apology was quick. In the next moment she drew her hand from the water, rising up from her kneeling position after briefly and carefully brushing off her skirt with her still gloved hand. She spoke more to the ground than to him for a brief instant.]

No, what I mean is... forgive me, I wanted to see what I could still do. I heard most lose their magic when they arrive here.

[That said in a rush of breath, her poise seemed to be returning as she stood up straight. At least until she was in the middle of slipping her glove back on and his words settled on her now that the surprise had cleared.]

Others can where you're from?
