[ Thanks greatly to the conversations she's had with others in their group, Fei has a more robust picture of the talents Vanessa speaks of when she uses the term magic, though her response is delayed as she straightens up, rigid in her seat when the metal creature hovers its way into the room.
Even though it's presumably posing as a servant Fei doesn't trust it, the hand on Youhuang going tense before she shoots a wary glance towards Vanessa, and, seeing her relaxed pose, allows herself to loosen up again. ]
Where I lived? [ Fei repeats, relaxing back into the conversation. ] Dragons were in paintings, and in legendary stories, nobody has ever lived side by side with a dragon in Jianghu. [ The last of her tension vanishes, replaced by a tired sort of fondness. ] If I could take you to the 48 Strongholds I would. It is a peaceful, beautiful place.
[ There would be no judgment against anyone harboring suspicion towards the droid. Vanessa has never come to trust it, and even now she'll wait for it to leave before resuming conversation. Vanessa isn't always permitted the luxury, so she invites the privacy where she can.
The tray has a couple slices of cold buttercream cake, and alongside the cups of tea that the droid poured before departing, there's sugar and milk. For now, Vanessa takes her tea plain, but she'll wait for Fei before doing so.
The warmth of the tea keeps the delicate cup in her hand longer than necessary while she wonders about a place like the 48 Strongholds. It sounds martial. ]
If you could take me there, what would you show me?
