The sound of Cromdali's laugh reminded Cisa of forest and the hours she spent there hiding from her problems in her home. Without speaking a word, Cisa felt as though she could trust the young wizard with almost anything. Whereas the Dark Wizard, or Sephanir, seemed unable to say more than a few words to her without the conversation feeling strained, Cromdali was so joyful it was impossible to respond otherwise. It was a kind of friendship Cisa had never experienced. Without meaning to, she began to return her smiles
Realizing she'd forgotten Cromdali was new to the castle, Cisa quickly caught up, "Sorry." She led Cromdali out into the hallway, walking towards the room she'd been occupying for the past two weeks. "To tell you the truth," she began, her air of forced politeness dropping away, "I've put much thought into what I wear. My family could only afford one set of clothing for me. It was replaced when I outgrew them or they became worn, but I didn't have a say in how they looked. I only brought up the clothing to the wizard because, well, it gets cold in the castle and I only have these." She indicated the threadbare trousers and shirt she wore. "These are my work clothes which I usually only wear in the forge. They keep me from overheating and aren't nearly as likely to catch fire, but they do little against any sort of chill in the air. I only wear them when working in my father's forge, but the day I came here to find my sister, I hadn't taken the time to change out of them. I also lost the boots I'd been wearing when I, ah, climbed the outer wall after my sister." That sounded far more fool-hardy once she'd said it aloud. "I would appreciate something warmer, but practical if possible. I need to be able to do whatever sort of work…Sephanir has for me to do."
They reached Cisa's rooms before the conversation could come to an awkward halt. Cisa opened the door so that Cromdali could enter, following after and closing it to give them a little privacy. Or the illusion of privacy. The room had not changed during her time there. She kept it clean as best she could, but it was still as sparely decorated as it had been. There was little Cisa could do to remedy that. Remembering Cromdali's other offer, Cisa cleared her throat to continue, "I do have a few questions for you. About wizards, I mean. What do you wizards do exactly?" She realized how rude that sounded and quickly continued, "Not that I believed none of you did anything, I just…I've heard very little about wizards. I know you all have important roles, but they've never been explained to me. My…stepmother usually just said not to get mixed up in matters involving magic and left it at that."
