-She pondered on that in silence, really chewing on the subject as she ate. That seemed so terrible, to be a part of the results of a terrible spell like that. "A cautionary tale for everyone, it would seem." Leila was a polite companion, eating with her mouth closed, not trying to ask any questions while she was still munching down. As she swallowed, she considered what else he said. "Imagine the destruction of someone who *could* remove themselves from reality to cast a terrible spell like that... they'd be nigh unstoppable."

-"That's fair, that's fair," she said with a faint grin, amused despite herself. Of course, she was probably a little nervous to appear *too* eager to learn about sorcery and the like, but this seemed to be an in for a change. Looking back at her own food, she listened to him as he asked her to tell him if he was boring. "What? Oh, no, you're fine! It's all very interesting to someone on the outside, or at least this someone." Said of herself, of course. "I'm the one peppering you with questions and the like..." So Leila was taking responsibility for the trajectory of their conversation so far.

-It was a bland look that she gave him before bursting into a soft chuckle, shaking her head as she did so. "That was *horrible*," she told him, though it was well meaning. A tease from a new, hopeful friend. Getting past that would be hard, because it was such a bad, cheesy joke, but it seemed like he was relaxing well enough in her company, and she was glad for that. "Moving on." Deliberately said, a mock stern look thrown his way. "I guess I'm just curious about sorcery in general. It's so... interesting to someone who knows next to nothing about it. So I guess I'm apologizing for asking so many questions about it." A rueful smile touched her lips at this.

-Listening with avid interest as he explained that it was a lottery, a raffle, she just nodded. It seemed that he had indeed won the raffle, and had gotten through all of the roadblocks that had been put up to discourage him. "Sounds like you had the perserverence, or just sheer stubbornness to become a sorcerer," she said with a laugh, not exactly a mirthful sound, but one that was friendly, at least, making a joke out of his hard work. Which didn't seem wise. Suddenly conflicted, Leila shook her head again and tried to apologize. "Sorry, not trying to make light of anything, jsut... it sounds as though they did everything they could to make it difficult. With the intention of weeding out those that didn't have the gumption to stay."

 He nodded good-naturedly. "Yeah, that's pretty much how the process works - in any country, really."
