[Open] A Party Of Two

[stitch_witch]

WHO: Lark (and Little Bear), Open
WHERE: Peanut Party
WHAT: A Woman and her Dog on a Spaceship
WHEN: During The Ship Event
WARNINGS: N/A

Music as a lure was not something that shocked Lark. Had Sandry and her student not used music and dance to lure people before? This made sense, and it was in a way more pleasant than other means by which they had been brought to the ships before.

It also helped that she could not be quite so upset about it as she watched what was happening now.

Lark sat near where the forest turned to beach and laughed as Little Bear went loping off after the recently thrown stick. The dog was having so much fun, his tail wagging wildly as he bounced onto it and caught it up. Then the dog's sets flirted one way and the other before he raced back to her, dropping the stick with a proud little wuff.

"My arm is getting sore. Perhaps it is time to take a rest," she suggests to the dog. And only earned another little bark.

"Or not," Lark laughed, catching up the stick again to toss. "I fear I'll have to get someone else to help me entertain you, Little Bear."

"Hm." Wesker gives a small nod. "Have you been putting these new methods to use since then?"

Weaving and working with fabrics is not a useless skill in the situation they all have found themselves in.

[stitch_witch]

"I have made use of some," she agrees. "But with my limited time, I still rely heavily upon my magic."

Which she would not choose to do back home. Things here required more active work when she is the primary provider of cloth.

[sunglassesincluded]

"Magic?" That's an unexpected term to encounter when hearing about Lark's area of expertise. Even from looking at her Wesker wouldn't be expecting any magical abilities, but the same can be said about other people he has met during his stay. From the architect that calls forth lightning to the young man that- Wesker is unable to really say what it is Billy is doing. But it's magic. One of various present forms.

"Interesting." The man concludes after a moment, settling into a moment of pensive quiet to settle that information somewhere.

[stitch_witch]

"Indeed," she confirms. "I am a threadmage. It has proven useful here."

Like that time she restrained the vampire that wanted to eat Tony. It was not a sort of thing she has needed to make use of here, though. That has been a relief.

"It does mean I can do much with more speed. Or I will when I have a loom."

[sunglassesincluded]

Useful is a word that is almost always guaranteed to catch Wesker's attention. At least when it's being used in a believable context. And in this case he is inclined to believe the woman.

"What exactly is it you are using these abilities for here?" He inquires further. Maybe her magic can be useful in some of his projects. But that may depend on what types of fabrics Lark can actually create.

[stitch_witch]

"Clothing of course. We all need something to wear. As well as making medical supplies. Bandages that enhance healing rates and reduce infections. It seems these are not common in the worlds of those who lead our medical care," Lark observes.

Whereas back home they were quite common in the Cicle.

[sunglassesincluded]

Wesker has to give a small nod at her observations. "They are not common, indeed. By my knowledge neither the doctor nor me stem from versions of Earth that have much to show in terms of magic." Medicine is created by science and everything it does can be explained by plain logic.

"Your services can be hired?" An important question.

[stitch_witch]

"Perhaps that is just as well. I have seen many things that can be achieved in worlds without it. Though in some manners, magic can be useful. Magical healers, for instance."

Alas, none of those here.

"It would be correct to say they can. Though I would say less 'hire' and more that I offer to help those that need it."

[sunglassesincluded]

"I am sure it has its uses." Wesker agrees. "And while science can achieve a lot, it is often easily hindered. Many fields barely advance at all for decades." He isn't someone opposed to magic by any means. If he were, the hospital wouldn't have made this huge lunge forward. Most of that has been thanks to Billy's magic. Wesker merely added the required knowledge to the project. Even if magic doesn't exist on his Earth, this place has its own rules.

He gives a short nod. "I would be interested in taking you up on that offer. In fact, I will even suggest a trade. As it stands I am lacking in some more casual clothes. In return I can give your companion a health check and run some simple tests to see if some of the native flora has any negative effects on him." Wesker's offer is accompanied by a gesture towards her dog. "He looks very healthy right now, so there might be no reason to worry. But given that he isn't a native species I would want you to know that the option exists."

[stitch_witch]

If he would insist upon a trade she would not turn him away. But health was something worth doing.

"That sounds wonderful," she says with a smile. "I'll need your measurements and some preferences of course. But having someone to look over Little Bear would be nice. We don't have any animal mages here."

And Lark was not always the best at telling what was and wasn't good with healing.
