"Well, in terms of magic, they're pretty basic." Corrin explains. "Fire, and ice I already mentioned. Thunder and wind too. Most Nohrian mages specialize in dark magic, though. Spells that drain vitality or inflict weakness. Good for the battlefield, but I'm not sure it has many applications in day-to-day life." She admits.
Eve didn't hold back, nor was she lacking for confidence in her own abilities. Corrin just nods. "I will, but I don't think you have to worry about that. Jasmine doesn't strike me as the type to whine." Now, hold a grudge? Maybe. But Eve surely wouldn't take things that far.
Well...that is true, though Corrin hadn't actually expected Eve to take her up on it. She shifts a bit in the tub. Oh boy, if Xander were here, he'd probably be nodding with her about everything the younger girl is saying (though his back would probably be turned, since she is his sister). Corrin is rather aware now she forgot to bring up the ladder or lock the door after her. That would have been unacceptable to her once.
And then Eve vows to kill Corrin if she transforms again, before she could actually hurt anyone. Death isn't the end here it seems, though she doesn't relish the idea of going to whatever place it was Kaito was sent to after his encounter with that spider, but still. There's no hesitation in Eve's voice about the vow, no doubt she wouldn't act on it. Corrin reaches out and takes her hand, gently.
"...I know you would." She says softly. "And I'm grateful that you wouldn't hesitate." If it's a choice between her life or someone elses, then it's no contest whatsoever. Corrin looks up at her and smiles. "In that case, I'd love nothing more than to have you here with me." Again she finds herself stroking the other girl's hand with her thumb.
"At least those in your world have some common sense," responded Eve at the revelation over many mages preferring the dark arts vs the elemental ones. Thinking about a practical use for wind and thunder, she'll say, "Inflict weakness against those who are insomniac, wind to use for creating a new energy source, and thunder to..." That one was tricky because it depended on the voltage it uses. Eve can't help wondering, "A walking battery pack, maybe?"
Learning more about this Jasmine, Eve was starting to like her more and more. "Good. Warn her just in case. I won't hold back even if she's inexperience," began to say Eve without any hesitation. She rarely holds back against an opponent; it'd be disrespectful if she did.
When Corrin takes hold of her hand, Eve may slightly freeze by the gesture not realizing the odd sensations in her stomach may be dusting her cheeks pink. Why did Corrin have to look at her like that? As though she was grateful over getting killed, not to mention accepting the new situation as is, Eve will lower her head not knowing on the best way to react. She wanted to pull away and lecture Corrin on being too defenseless while all at once she wanted to hold her hand just as tightly. It was very strange to her. To be unable to properly react...
What would Lia do in this case? Eve will look away, thinking about it realizing -- she would smile and hug her.
Which wasn't hard to do especially when Corrin welcomes her home. When was the last time someone had said this to her? She knew the answer, but would rather not dwell on it...
A smile will appear on her lips as Eve decides to follow her instincts and give Corrin a light hug. What do normal people say in these instances? Lia would say 'thank you' but Eve on the other hand should respond with, "There...aren’t enough words to express my gratitude." Which felt more sincere to say compared to the smile she must be wearing right now.
At this point, Corrin isn't even surprised or embarrassed when Eve leans down to hug her, instead running with it, and putting an arm, lightly, around her back; it is still quite wet, after all. "I'm grateful to you too, you know." She adds. "I was starting to think I might never get a housemate, but I'm really, really glad it's you." And then...maybe as a little "thank you" present and deciding to act on a rather crucial piece of information Eve let slip earlier, she leans into the other girl's ear.
"I'm glad I met you." She whispers into it. And if Corrin's voice gets a bit...huskier, maybe unintentionally, well, would Eve complain? Her ears are her weak spot after all.
Pulling away from the hug with an impish, knowing grin, Corrin claps her hands together. "Okay! Then we need to welcome you here properly, right? This calls for a celebration." And then she just...stands up in the tub. Yes, she's still naked, but they've crossed that bridge already and it's not like Corrin doesn't have anything Eve doesn't. It's nothing new to her, anyway, now that she's had some time to get a little more used to the girl's presence. And maybe finding out she was moving in put Corrin even more at ease around her.
"I just need to dry off and get dressed." She announces, stepping past Even out of the tub. "Then we'll get started on a proper celebratory dinner to welcome you home." She turns and looks down at her friend and now-housemate. "Deal?"
It's probably not going to be the greatest feast in the world; Corrin's cooking skills have improved, a little, but she's still quite a novice. But that's less of a concern than making Eve feel welcome in her new home and treating her to something nice.
