Adarin - realizes he's one of the most shut in members of the household. It makes sense, really. He's their shield, if bandits or other nasty people show up it is up to him to keep them safe, like it is up to Jony to make the garden and Kesaven expands the house and keeps it in repair. Besides, where would he even go? All of his favorite people are right here. He'd be lonely if he went on the trips to the market.
So when there is a yelp from downstairs that sounds like it's from Tima, he's in the house and not outside chopping firewood, or at the market. He is upstairs, and he hears it, and he sprints downstairs and prepares to shield and -
And then he is eaten by a giant snake with a mirror for a face.

"And. Er."
Well if he's already doomed, might as well explain everything to her so that when she kills him she can be informed properly.

"I mean, your - mother held out hope Dianira could get you in a century or two, it just. Would have. Kind of sucked. A lot."

He giggles, a little, at that.
"You're welcome."
He rubs his face.
"I can't believe it actually worked. I felt like a creep the entire time, I am so sorry, it was for the express purpose of." Hand wave towards her.

"I assume Rhana likes you, if she okayed it." She swings her legs out over the edge of her bed, sighs, "This is going to suck," stands, and immediately overbalances and falls on her face.
ertia
She leans on him heavily. "Ugh. I haven't tried to walk without substantial magical boost since I was, what, eight, nine, I think that's when I started tripping less."

"Well, good news. I have magic from my other world. So I can keep you from getting hurt. I - didn't catch it earlier, sorry, but you're protected now."
in_tatters
"We don't all have magic, for one. Sometimes lucky people, when they're at a certain age, get a choice of different magic types to choose from. Those are ravelers, or mages, if you prefer, we haven't standardized it. I picked protection magic. So I can protect people."

Kithabel manages to stand without leaning on Adarin, and stops leaning. "I'd say I like your choice but I don't know what it was competing with."

"Its major competitor was weather magic," he sighs, forlorn. "But I took too long trying to figure out if it was large scale or just," handwave, "little trick showers or something, and I lost the option. I couldn't have lost animal communication, no, it had to be weather. Ugh."
in_tatters
"Oh, yes. If it was at the scale I wanted, anyway, where I could prevent floods and water crops and such."
ertia
"Well, you picked something good, anyway. I should talk to my mother. How did you say you got here? Magic otherworldly snake or something?" Kithabel minces her way carefully to her bedroom door.

"Thank you. It uh, was a giant snake. With a mirror for a face." Pause. "I don't have an explanation either."
He follows, ready to catch her if she seems to need it, but otherwise leaving her on her own.

She touches the wall and goes to the pointless little room. "Do you know if my lift still works? Because that would be a heck of a way to test your protection, if it doesn't."
ertia
"And Rhana didn't show you? Huh. Well, if she didn't show you maybe she thought it was too risky, I'll defer to her judgment on that for now. Stairs it is. Great." She heads for the exit.
ertia
"I can't quite - you seem very nice and the circumstantial evidence heavily favors you being on the level, but I can't fly or heal myself on zilch momentum and I have never seen your thing in action, so."
