He hadn’t even thought that the idea of magic might be foreign to someone. In his eyes, magic was the norm. In the land that he had been born in, where he had lived and served, everyone was born with magic. The more they grew and worshiped, the greater their magic became. "Aye, I used to be very powerful." He could sense that the idea that he had magic was making the two of them a bit uneasy. The last thing he ever wanted was to make someone uncomfortable. So instead, he settled on just saying that he was powerful, not telling him the specifics. "But my magic here is very weak." Perhaps it would grow in time, he hoped. If not, he would just have to be happy with what he was given.
Rhone listened to Erd speak, nodding softing in understanding. He had heard of lands where magic was unheard of, even scorned. Such places still baffled him, but he supposed it was only the opposite of where he was from. "In the land where I spend most of my days, every new life was born with some sort of control over an element. It was rare to not have magic at all. Some of us even controlled many elements." He left out the part that he had some sort of control over at least 6 or 7 elements, sever of them mastered.
However, what Erd did not realize was that his agreement that Asterion would be happy to have his help, even if his magic was so small, was enough to make the bay feel a little more like he might actually belong here. He wasn’t quite sure how to voice his feelings on the matter, so he let it drop completely. But the look in his eye was enough to tell the twins that he was appreciative of them being there.
At Erd’s words about walking back to Terrestella, he nodded softly. "Company would be nice." When he asked his brother if he was in agreement for another to join their journey, Rhone looked to him. He knew the other was silent, a little judgmental, but his opinion still mattered. And if Rhone was being honest with himself, he thought he saw a change in the other, a softer side to the tough exterior. But he said nothing, it wasn’t his place after all. "Lead the way." The journey would be long and he had no idea where he was going.
