Mm... I don't think so, either. But I don't blame you for keeping it to yourself.
[She's had to live with this fear, alone, for years, even if she was asleep for most of it as far as he knows. For someone like him, who's always been free to use his magic as he wishes, who'd been expected to carry it proudly (even if his control or abilities were lacking), it's hard to fathom having to hide. There'd been moments during his journey where he'd had to conceal his identity, but not in combat, not to the detriment of himself or those around him. It had given him away to many over time, the sole possessor of magic in a world devoid of it, besides the Six and the bloodline of the Oracle. People could have gone after him, if they wanted to. The Imperials had, when his presence was noticed by those flying overhead. But he'd been free with it, able to save and be saved by it when the need was there. She didn't have that.
He wants her to have that freedom now, if possible, and if that's what comes out of all of this, then in at least one aspect it'll have been worth all the trouble.]
You know... Lucian weapons are built to channel the elements. They've got crystals on them that absorb and store 'em, you can channel that power into how you fight. Your sword... I bet it'll feel like home.
[Even if it's not real fire, even if it's not his magic. It's hers, and she's family. Anything from her is bound to feel like home, anyway.]
