“…You people are complex…Also you all look depressed. You all should lighten up slightly.”

”Why…why did you ask?”

Matilda starts to tremble again, shaking visibly. She wraps her arms around herself for stability to no avail.

“I’m just wearing what’s comfortable. Do you not enjoy my appearance?”

“Actually…don’t answer that. I’m just tired, not depressed.”

“This is a school. Not a sleepover party, actually.”

“Leaving your blood around could get you killed in the future, or could just make someone else stronger. Blood magic can be powerful, you know. If I have an easy way to stop that, I’ll take it.”

“It’s a University. Unlike the rest of you, I’m aware that we’re going to be staying here for a long time it seems…”

“Welcome,” Arthur intones, his voice hardly changing.

“I’m very well aware that I’m going to be staying here for a while. Are you telling me that you’re going to wear the same thing for months?”

“If I am depressed doesn’t matter I suppose. Not in this sort of place with a bunch of Ultimates.”

”Blood magic…”
She winces at the mention of it.

”I have magic running through my veins, my blood is Marked with the sin of the true First Woman. But blood magic…blood magic is different.”

“No…Well yes…I did bring a bunch of the same outfit…But at least I wash my clothes.”

“Ultimates?” Arthur cocks his head. “Elaborate.”

“Well you have a talent, don’t you? Don’t tell me you’re so stupid and suddenly forgot.”

“So, you acknowledge it. Now heal yourself. I don’t care about you, but you better not get me killed because of your negligence and masochism.”

it would seem we’ve finally uncovered your weak spot, eh?

Arthur, do you not have an Ultimate talent you were scouted for?
