I assume you have a good reason for contacting me. If not, stop wasting my time.

[ Gray normally does her best to stay out of Majorita's way, feeling that she sure grates on the girl's nerves. She probably shouldn't be so nervous about the opinion of a younger(??) girl, and who appears to be a child at that, but Gray readily acknowledges her own pathetic nature and will make no excuses for it.

But today, it's a little different. She's on a mission. With a boldness unusual for her, she approaches Majorita with a pen, a notebook, and a look of fragile courage on her face. ]


Hello, Miss Majorita! Um... would you have a minute?

[ So bold and strong........... ]

[ Yep, definitely grating on Majorita's nerves. Gray feels mild horror on the inside, but the magic courage running through her veins emboldens her to rush onward. ]

Then I'll be quick! Let me ask... d-do you think I have any good qualities?

[ She stutters her way through the question with a healthy heaping of mortification. If some horrible hellbeast spawned from the earth and bit her head off right this second, she would be grateful to it. ]

[ Gray is taking that as a no... but that isn't surprising either, so she relaxes slightly with resignation. She figured Majorita woul be a tough customer, but it still isn't exactly pleasant to have it confirmed that you're probably a waste of space. ]

It's an assignment that was put to me. I've been trying to ask anyone willing to answer.

[ Literally anyone, as evidenced by the fact that she's talking to Majorita about it. ]

If your answer is "no," then that's okay too...

[ That's... a lot of criticism, and Gray gamely races to jot it all down. They're fair points, really. Her pen slows down when Majorita admits that she used to be a bit like Gray before, though Gray can't envision it at all.

She absently takes note of the "compliment," though it feels generous to call it that. But she wasn't expecting any praise in the first place, so the fact that Majorita made an attempt at all is surprising. Gray's writing slows to a stop as she looks down for a moment, arranging her words before slowly looking back up to Majorita. ]


If I could be more outspoken like you are, I'd like that a lot. When I was younger, I wasn't... like this.

[ She was a normal energetic child until around five years old. In that respect, she and Majorita might be direct opposites. ]

[ It may not be immediately applicable on the surface, but it does sound like genuine advice. Gray makes an attempt to seriously turn it over in her mind. ]

Power... as in the power to fight?

[ She has that, technically, but she would never use her abilities to hurt anyone except in defense. Is brute force really the key to confidence? She feels that there must be another ingredient less easily seen. Her head tips in thought as she tries to form a question that addresses that feeling. ]

Then if all your powers were taken away, would you stop speaking your mind?

cries i swear i replied to this......

[ It definitely sounds like Majorita would be the same whether or not she had her powers...

Confidence is a more digestible answer to Gray, even if it's much easier said than done where she's concerned. She understands that confidence can be more a function of politics than fact. It's being able to pull off the act that stumps her. Maybe she's just too aware of her flaws. ]


I believe you.

[ She would really be surprised if Majorita were bluffing this whole time. And Gray has already known someone who had to grow up according to Majorita's description, a little girl who had to put on the face of a lion for the sake of a merciless world. ]

I don't know if I can pull off that kind of confidence, but I'll do my best. And... thank you for doing your best to help me.

[ Even if Majorita didn't think she was very good at it. ]

Before I came here, the place I was in was... a very political one. It was a school and headquarters for magi. But since I was only an apprentice, not much was expected of me.

[ If the magi Gray knew of freely used their magecraft to fight for dominance, they would probably wipe themselves out as a population within a year, she thinks...

She perks up at the apology she could almost have imagined, what with how quiet it was, but she's always been good at listening. Though Majorita is back to her normal self in an instant, Gray barely hears the rudeness in the following comment. Ah, but it seems like she's being dismissed. She has to fight the urge to thank Majorita again, instead dipping a quick bow as a compromise. ]


That's all. Um, I'm sorry to have bothered you.

[ And she'll wait for Majorita to take her leave before moving on herself. ]
