As the mug was brought back to it's place on the table, Asterin couldn't help but feel a twinge of dislike toward Karsten. He seemed to be showing off just a bit, but she gently shook the thought away before she looked back up at him. "I come from a small village east of here. There, the men all hunt to provide for their families. My father is very loving and protecting. He taught me how to fight with a lot of different weapons." Asterin paused to smile to herself. A giggle escaped her, "I used to practice with sticks I would find around the village... I will be honest, I'm not an expert on anything combative. However, my skills in pocket dimensions has given me quite a title in Eneles."
She paused for a moment to think, trying to decide whether or not she should take the time to give her story. "I came here to get away from my village. Not to win the favor of the King." she sighed audibly. "My village is full of people... People that I don't want to live around. People that I wouldn't want to raise children around. This journey is my escape. I know enough to protect myself. That's all I need. But... I'm not so dense that I could think that I could travel alone." Rin smiled, looking up at Karsten with soft eyes. "Luckily for me, my abilities as a parallel magi make it very easy for me to find partners. After all, if I did find the crown, attacking us would be useless, because no one can access my pocket dimension but me."
