[Linda is sitting on a bench in the garden when she activates the feed. she's dressed casually in a coat and jeans, though her right hand visibly has a bandage around it. she looks tired, and she's obviously fallen in some mud at some point today as well]

Anybody else having trouble learning to ride their animals? [there's weariness in her tone. but a thought occurs to her then, and she adds:] Are many people going to be in the race? I know it's optional.

[while the mud is a result of her rocky attempts to learn to ride a "yoshi," her burned hand isn't. it's been a busy day, starting with testing forcefields with Agent K to try to find one like the dome followed by her riding session on the farm. needless to say, relaxing for a bit chatting with friends strikes her as a good way to end an exhausting day]

Emilia. I do enchanting work in town. Want to be fire-proof?

[domesheriff]

[Linda blinks] Nice to meet you. But is that a serious question?

[she hasn't been able to comprehend enough about magic yet to have any idea whether that's something that could be possible or should be obvious sarcasm]

[ewestmarch]

Sure, if you've got the money.

[domesheriff]

I...probably don't. [she hasn't been here for very long. but now she's curious] What kind of things can enchanting do?

[ewestmarch]

It can make your clothes resistant to destruction and protect you while you're wearing them. It can boost your casting power and speed - if you do magic. It can absorb damage for you, make you resistant to temperature, fire, radiation, electrical shocks...

[domesheriff]

Wow. [she's not really sure what to say because "incredible" barely seems to start to cover those options] How much does something like that cost?

[ewestmarch]

Not an arm and a leg, but I do have to make a living off of this.

[domesheriff]

Yeah, that...sounds like it would take a lot to do. [not that she knows anything about it, but it's easy for her to assume that something that impressive would be expensive to make happen]

After I've saved up some money, I'll have to talk to you. Where's your store?

[ewestmarch]

It's in town, a few streets over from where they hold the Bazaar.

[domesheriff]

Okay, I'll remember that. Thanks.
