"All this `Nerd` talk is starting to feel less like a gag and more like a personal attack to those who use magic." Nima stated in her normal ego-filled tone. Something that caused Seirichi only to roll her eyes.

"It's a joke, seriously. Don't take it the wrong way." said the Siovanui. She still couldn't believe her sister was taking a simple use of a joke this seriously.

"It's radio. I'm supposed to be loud, funny, and ignorant. It makes for a good show."

"Oh, no. I understand perfectly. Do not think your humor is so below me that it passes under my detection. I am speaking more of your heritage and those of Liltu who feel less than thrilled about your words."

This caused Seirichi to look away from her lunch of take out Chinese food. "They should know me better than that.." A grunt soon passing from the Adennians lips in annoyance.

"You do not visit the tower as frequently as before.. they can only assume." The younger of the two who were dubbed `The White Witch` folded her hands while she spoke.

Seirichi couldn't help but feel caught within her sisters words. She was right. The Siovanui had started to visit the Tower of Liltu less and less. The Tower, her second Mothers birthplace, was the home of her sister and her kind; the pale, white haired mages of Liltu. Physically weak, they make up for their shortcomings with stronger ties to the world of the arcane.

Liltu was the brains, Adenna was the body -- a good combination when their alliance was forged so many years ago.

"Fine, I'll visit this weekend. Hold a party, lift some women and maybe a few tables, all should be fixed after that." Seirichi almost waved it off, but her sisters words caught her yet again.

"You keep forgetting, we are not Adennians. Offering a simple party and showing physical strength will get you nowhere."

A soft click of Seiris tongue sounded out in reaction to that. "And what's your idea, oh savior of magic kind?"

"Simple." Nima began. "Allow Karaichi to live within the walls of Liltu for a few months time. It will do good for him to learn of his heritage."

"I'm not having some servants look after my child, Nima.." Seirichi grumbled. It was something she never did agree with; even more when it came to her own children. It was how Nima was raised. Lilith, her mother, was always busy with research and couldn't be bothered with child raising. Rare moments spoke different, yes - moments that mostly Seiri - herself experienced during weeks of late December, when their split family would gather once every year to spend time with one another.

Seirichi couldn't see the value in it. She may use Nayun as a babysitter, but she always tried her best to be there for her children.

"Do not say that. I, Nima, will be there for him." There was that ego again. Nima's lips curled into a soft smile. "Do not use it as an excuse, dear sister.. You simply do not want him to leave your sight. You're coddling the boy." Words that easily put Seirichi on the defensive.

"I'm not coddling my child." Adding the sound of a quick pfft in an attempt to have it sound like she couldn't believe what was being said.

"Then allow him to stay within the Tower. Two months. It will show the people that you have faith in their ways.. It's good for you, Seirichi. You need to keep hold of bridges you have made; bridges that must be repaired at times."

Seirichi fell silent. Thinking over her sisters words. Two months didn't sound bad, but it was two months away from her. This was her first born, her Karaichi.. the only thing that bound her to Veron.

"No servants.." The Ichi finally said in reluctant agreement. "You keep him with you, at your side. I don't want him wandering the halls alone."

"Ahhh. You really do coddle the boy." Chuckled the witch.

Seirichi wasn't amused.
