"Jane."
"Yep?"
"I want to talk to Aether."
"I'll let her know!"
"You ever check?" Amariah asks Damaris, since this seems to be what they're talking about now.
"But now I'm curious," she says, and deploys a square. An illusory albatross appears in front of her and spreads its wings; illusory feathers ghost through two walls of the room.
"...'Large bird daemons' seems to be a template feature," she observes.
"Mine concerns mindscapes," says Yseult. "They are more understandable to me, and more malleable, than they are to most people."
"So I guess if you haven't turned up with one yet that's evidence in favor of the mint-parents-at-time-of-conception theory," Amariah says in Damaris's direction, "have Keziah or Céleste demonstrated anything yet, though?"
"Huh. I guess we'll see. So far no one has been deliberately reproducing to get specific ingotry, anyway."
"You have some - themes to you, nothing that unusual to have in common as templates go - daemons, coin colors, obviously appearance. None of you are standing out as the template instance at all. I think you might be - almost a subtype? You are a kind of person, the specific kind of that kind of person that appears for Bell/Joker pairings' firstborns. There might be a theme to the ingot powers but I can't tell until I see more of them, I think. I think you're going to continue to usually be female as more of you appear but it's not a guarantee the way it is with - Matildas, say, I don't think we'll ever see a boy Matilda."
