[ loki hums. ]

Do you want to learn? Do you want to be here?

[sunmon]

[ well, that's a different question. she looks up at him, brow furrowed a bit. she nods, slowly. ]

I do. [ but that's not really worth much, is it? not without the skill to do it. it's all the same reasons that she'd been stuck drawing maps instead of exploring any other kind of art. practicality. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ he shrugs, nonchalant. ]

Then that is enough for me. Take your time to learn, devote yourself and you have a place here.

For my theatre, what I want is people to choose to be here.

[sunmon]

Actually, while I learn ... [ she turns away from the lighting board with a little further consideration. ] I should be able to do this without the machines.

[dothelokimotion]

[ his eyebrows go up. ]

Oh? Magic, I presume?

[sunmon]

[ there's a casual laziness about how she draws her palm in a fluid motion, twisting her hand in a flourish that spawns a little orb of light. it swells to the size of a grape fruit before she casts it across the room, a tiny sun. ]

Small science, but from what I understand of most people's use of the word magic, it's near enough.

[dothelokimotion]

[ not a witchlight, but stronger. interesting. ]

That should suffice, then.

[sunmon]

I haven't tried changing the color. I'll have to practice.

[ the light blooms, then fades. ]

But I can make several of them, and I can control the intensity.

[dothelokimotion]

[ hm. ]

So you are taking the job?

[sunmon]

If you'll have me, gladly.

[ she feels at least a little surer, now, a little less like she'll be tossed out the moment she underperforms, which she feels like she's bound to do. ]

[dothelokimotion]

Very well then.

[ he extends his hand politely. ]

Welcome to the Opherium.

[sunmon]

Happy to be here, sir. [ a beat. ] Loki.

[ this isn't the army anymore. no need for all that. ]

[dothelokimotion]

[ his lips twitch at that. ]

Indeed. Get yourself settled then. My office is not far if you need me.
