It's okay, Chel! Alluistras is just playing out her Viktor character, and she asked me before she posted that last bit. At the moment, magic is something kind of frowned upon in Dementlieu culture...not something you'd be proud of it. Most see it as silly; that Ashley is so adept at using magic makes her stand out. But Ally (the new nickname for Alluistras) doesn't really mean anything bad by it; she's just getting into her Viktor character.<br/><br/>But this is actually good, because I do want everyone to start to feel comfortable with their abilities, and now that Ashley has been so open, the others can talk about their unique talents more openly. Plus it helps to make Viktor look more like a bad guy, and he's really not supposed to be very nice.<br/><br/>So it's nothing bad, just story. Enjoy, react, have fun with it. ^^
