She holds up Mjolnir.

"It's magic, and from space!"

(Kerron recovers his footing and watches this exchange with amusement.)

Sidanar snakes her head down until her nose nearly touches the hammer.

"I like it," she says. "What's it for? Besides smelling like thunderstorms and flying?"
Permalink

"Heroing, basically," says Darcy. "I can summon thunderstorms with it, but with all those people out flying I probably shouldn't. And when I put it down it stays put and when I hit things with it they stay hit."

Permalink

"That sounds magic, all right!" says Sidanar approvingly.

Permalink

Kerron says, "And I'm Kerron. Not sure if this is large enough to read. Or if dragons go in for literacy, for that matter."

Permalink

"Reading small letters is kind of a challenge," Sidanar admits. "It's usually easier to just get someone to read it. Hello, Kerron! You're big for a human. Warm, too."

Permalink

"Not a human," he chuckles. "Only half. Other half is vampire."

Permalink

"What's a vampire?" she says interestedly.

Permalink

"Species from Aurum. Really fast, really durable, really strong - Aianon beat my dad arm-wrestling but it was close - and made out of humans, with vampire venom, takes three days if you do it the natural way."

Permalink

Sidanar's head pulls back and her wings half-open in startlement. "Your father nearly won a contest of strength with an Endarkened?"

Permalink

A startled dragon is an impressive sight. Darcy is impressed.

Permalink

"Yeah. With anybody but Aianon it wouldn't be close - Dad could pick you up easy. Might not be comfy, he's human-sized and you wouldn't have very well-distributed pressure, but he could do it."

Permalink

"...really?" she says dubiously.

Permalink

"Yeah. Stand him up there, put a sling under you that wouldn't snap, he could pick you right up."

Permalink
She considers this.

"I don't think anyone's ever tried picking up a dragon before, except for another dragon. And even that's usually difficult."
Permalink

"You're not really shaped for it. I just meant to indicate that vampires are very, very strong."

Permalink

"It worked," Sidanar says dryly.

Permalink

Darcy cracks up.

Permalink

"So that's my dad, and my mum is a Joker like Ansharil and Aianon."

Permalink

"What species is she—? Human?"

Permalink
"Yeah, pretty much, but she throws so much magic around I don't usually categorize her like that."

(Kerron just kind of runs with it when people pronoun his mum.)
Permalink

Darcy gives him a quizzical look, but, well, Jokers.

Permalink

"Human mages are still human, aren't they?" says Sidanar.

Permalink

"Maybe on Thilanushinyel. At home you've got witches, who can be any species but only have single specific powers, and then you have imported magic, and pretty much everyone except my mum who has access to that stuff is not a human. Or at least was when I was growing up; there's Harley now, he's another Mum."
