[ CHAMPAGNE ] - And from one of the finest bottles Adrestia has to offer. No student is allowed more than a single glass, and it looks classier to swirl it before it's empty. Mages in Fódlan cast without a tome or a staff or anything. Surely it can't be that hard to apply the concept to spells and stuff that they don't use here, right? That is at least the thought that runs through Tina's mind as she stands across the room from the display of filled champagne flutes. She holds out her hand imagining what it would feel like if she was holding her trusty thief staff. Trying her best to will the magic through her hand instead of its carved shaft. Picturing what it would look like for one of the coveted flutes to appear in her hand ready for her to drink. It's really rude that students are only allowed one. And the one they even get is barely filled halfway! A total ripoff! Then a familiar form appears and the young cleric jumps. "Ack! What are you doing here, unc?"
"I am not your uncle." His days of caring for children are hopefully behind him for a time still, he is not eager to return to that life in any form. "You should greet people properly, Tina."
Now, the lack of staff in her hands is obvious. Under normal circumstances, her attempting to cast spells bare handed would not be of concern to him. However, he has seen many strange feats of magic since arriving in Fodlan. If she is attempting anything that may damage Lord Leif's reputation, it is his responsibility to intervene.
"I hope you are not doing anything that goes against the requests and rules of our hosts." He's not stupid. He can see the waiters preparing champagne for serving off in the distance. Knowing what Tina had been capable of during the war, he can connect the dots.
"Limits are in place for your own good. I'm sure you would not want Safy to hear that you are putting yourself in dangerous situations again, would you?"
