Re: Mik and Ophelia
Ophelia shrugged a shoulder. "Second child. Purifying that line." Because she was the throwaway unwanted child. She had dealt with the ranting about it. Lae wanted her with someone she knew and liked, and preferred someone pure. Her parents had deviated from that to try and help the Sorrento line. At least he had not been forced into anything himself. She appreciated that- his future was more important really to carry things on.
A smile at his compliment and she nodded. She knew she was talented. Everyone except her parents said it. There were inherent flaws to her future though. The fact that she still had trouble touching people was a big one. "Painting is fun." Because much like potions it just came to her naturally and she loved it. There were few things that made her happier in life.
Dessert brought a smile to Ophelia's lips and she plucked some berries for her plate, nibbling happily. "I like fruit." Because it was a staple in her diet typically. She liked other things but fruit was one of her favorite treats when she was able to have them.
