"Yeah, I saw the thing at the vampire house," she comments. "Impressive, but dangerous."

"It did it's job... with only a small amount of rampaging," Sean said before sipping his drink. "Was more impressed seeing you and the other stand toe-to-toe with vampires. I generally have to back up rather quickly when it comes to that."

"Well, one is the Morrigan," Sean smiled. "Hardly be fitting for a goddess to not be impressive, but then again I haven't met many."

"Whatever other labels she has, she's still the Morrigan, at least in my estimation. She's the Battle-Crow and the one I'll see when I breathe my last after falling in battle. She's nothing to be afraid of, unless you plan on crossing her."

Sean pulled a third glass out from behind the bar and filled it for Vivienne.

"If you believe the stories mages are often crossing people," Sean said before looking at Vivienne. "All are welcome to share in the spoils of course."

"We've been discussing the insufficiency of mages and the glory of the Morrigan..." Gemma says, eyeing her own glass, "And how good of a hobby drinking is."

"Ah, I see. All very fascinating topics." She reached over to the bottle once Sean had filled her glass. She gave the contents a quick glance before picking up her glass.

"To the spoils for the victors."

"Cheers," Sean smiled raising his glass before finishing it off and filling his glass again. The soreness and pain from the simulation/battle was now quite easy to ignore. "More the folly than the insufficiency, but suppose they aren't so different. Ah, and some about Fae politics."

Sean gestures with the bottle towards Vivienne seeing if she wants another glass.

"Magic is very rare, so there aren't many practitioners around to advise caution," Sean said, "Just old books and feelings."

"Shining light on things is always a risk. Sometimes they melt away into nothingness, sometimes the light reveals things that are better off remaining hidden. It's one of the reasons you mages are so problematic, shining light on everything you possibly can without regard."

"No time for caution or patience when your life is measured in decades, or sometimes a century or two, rather than several millenia," Sean said sipping his drink. "Means we mortals tend to think in the short-term. Trying to do as much as we can."

"Not forbidden, but humans have such a bad habit of doing a thing simply because they can, regardless of consequence, that certain things must me kept out of reach until such a time as a seeker has proven themselves trustworthy." Vivienne filled her glass as well.

Sean considered his drink for a moment.

"It will be interesting to learn how high the fees have gotten since I've been using magic since I could walk and reading old tomes since I was able to get them," Sean said before sipping his drink. "But... the sun? Either quite the spell or poor bargaining on the part of that magus."
