Then it looks like you’ll have to teach an old soul. I’ve only done my fruit of labors on my mind with books. Fortunately, I am a quick study.
{ the offer brings a slight surprise, if he’s honest. the kindness of solvunn folks have left him slightly off, but it isn’t terrible. he gives the shrine one last glance, memorizing it as a silent promise to be back, and then motions towards the open path. }
Lead the way. I don’t want to impose if your room might be half a coffin? Wanda offered me one. Truthfully, it’s to filter light out. One day maybe I can build my own insulated place. I was going to find somewhere.
Everybody pitches in to get the work done, and then the afternoon is yours. Though.. I guess being a vampire means you're kinda limited in the daytime, right? Or is that just a myth? Anyway, there's probably stuff that you can do at night that others don't want, so I bet you'd be kind of in demand. But if that isn't your thing, you could always do what Aloy does. She lives in the woods along one of the paths to the other settlements.
[ Well, that pretty much confirms what he was asking. It's a bummer he hadn't thought about that before the offer, but he's pleased that Louis takes it in stride. He can't help but smile at the mention of Wanda. ]
She's awesome, I love her. She's been teaching me more about magic. Pretty sure there's nothing she can't do. If you need help with anything else though or just need company, I'm a pretty good listener.
I didn't think of it that way. Night work I can do. I'll have to ask what is available. You're bright, Carl. I'll also have to inquire about about the other settlements. My morning usually can start soon as the sun sets. I'm sure our paths can cross then, if you're around.
{ he can practically tell carl is beaming, and it's a tickle of excitement at the mention of wanda. with what he'd gathered so far, she seems to be beloved at solvunn. he'll remember to keep in her good graces. }
Ah, so people can learn magic here? I have a few Gifts. Abilities. I never thought of it as magic. Maybe you can teach me a lil of what Miss Wanda has been teaching you and it'll be your true grit of talent in her honor. The very least, I'd like to witness it some day. { although, he's not sure he wants to learn magic yet, since he struggled accepting his vampiric gifts. if the possibly is there, he'll think on it. perhaps he could be inspired. step one. }
[ Carl ducks his head at the compliment but takes it. It's not that nobody's ever said that of him before, but he likes helping people. ]
I'll make it a point to be around. Can't clean up the shrine together if I go home when the sun sets, right? [ He leans closer to Louis so he can nudge the vampire gently with his elbow. ]
Yeah! We don't have magic where I'm from, but if I can learn it? I think you'll have an easier time than me! But yeah, I can show you what I can do and a little of what I've learned from Wanda. I can't do anything impressive yet, but it's one more thing I couldn't do before.
{ louis is internally thankful he has found people extending their kindness to him, but mostly it has inspired him to try and mingle. carl has been the one to make the most effort, and he wonders if it's his youth, but it's evident that he's suffered by the loss of an eye. there's history there, and yet he persists with a vampire. how admirable. he jokes, of which he makes obvious at first. }
I'll make sure to get you back to your bedtime. We all have our skills. I'm sure you were capable back in your world. I look forward to finding out, Carl. { he gently nudges carl back and they could have been walking for hours - he's enjoying their time to not notice it. the settlement does came into view soon. }
Then it's a promise. Meet me back here in a few days and we can get started. She needs a lil' cleaning first.
