[The somewhat distant look on his face as stares ay the bottle in his hand says much more than his words do. Even when it's a typically subdued Raidou facial expression.]

Ah, it's been on my mind a bit, I suppose. I am in a dangerous line of work back home, much like here. My clan never hid that fact or softened the idea for me, even as a child.

[ She sobers a little, watching Raidou's expressions carefully. She's trying very hard to speak coherently; her thoughts feel like sheep that need to be wrangled. ]

They were training you to be a Summoner even when you were little? [ She furrows her brows. ] What was it like for you back then?

[The unexpected question that started this conversation had caught him off guard, but this was a party, right? He doesn't want to be a downer. He looks at Marcille now, a slight fond smile on his face as he nods.]

Yes. My whole life. Though it wasn't until later that I started aiming to warn a title.

[He thinks on that second question for a moment, though.]

Hard to say. Life in the Kuzunoha village was all I knew. I know my upbringing was different than others. I didn't realize how much so until I got to high school in the Capital, and met other boys my age.
