Well, if she's going to be interested and maybe forget about the things upsetting her for now, Briar supposes he can go ahead and call his abilities what they are. "I am rather fond of my magic," Briar admits. "Where I come from, there are two types. Ambient mages, like me, work with the power in a specific thing in the natural world. Mine is with plants. Some people's power works through metal or weather or threads or stones."

Ashley is welcome to tell him about some of what she's seen, or to ask questions. For now, he offers her something to eat. "Are you hungry? I don't have too much up here," he says with a grin and a careless shrug, taking a satchel from the makeshift shelf and placing it on the roof between them, "but if you'd like some fruit, you're welcome to it." Briar is nearly always hungry, and he seems to have developed a fondness for that one fruit he can't even put a name to.
