Country.

[bejeweled]

Oh! Country.

[larcenous]

Vulp clans don't have names.

[bejeweled]

. . . oh. Do people just know you're from a certain clan . . .?

[larcenous]

There's ways to tell, but if a name's needed, we go by the clan leader's.

[bejeweled]

That doesn't change?

[larcenous]

That can get complicated.

[bejeweled]

I wonder if you're anything like our magi families . . .

[larcenous]

'Magi families'?

[bejeweled]

Magic is passed down from generation to generation, so the older families can be pretty well known . . .

[larcenous]

… Nnnot so much, for us. Most Vulp clans are full of orphans, so it's their own strength that gets 'em recognized.

[bejeweled]

. . . oh.

[larcenous]

[Seems remarkable unconcerned]

But, man, magic gettin' passed down like that must be pretty potent...

[bejeweled]

It's one of the main ways the magical families retain their strength.

[larcenous]

D'ya get formal trainin' n' all that stuff?

[bejeweled]

Of course.

[larcenous]

My dad helped me with the basics, but the rest was all down to me.

[bejeweled]

. . . wow. I can't imagine learning all my magic on my own . . .

[larcenous]

Is it really complicated?

[bejeweled]

There's just a lot of information and working on control . . .

[larcenous]

I wanna see it sometime.

[bejeweled]

Ah . . . all right . . . it isn't super impressive or anything . . .

[larcenous]

It's magic from another world.

[bejeweled]

. . . I'd like to see yours too, sometime, if you don't mind. It's pretty rare to be able to see other people's magic.

[larcenous]

Sure.

You a hunter at all?
