Yata doesn't miss Rosethorn's candid admission to having magic of her own. Being able to make plants grow isn't the sort of power Yata is familiar with from home, however. A Strain or the Colorless King might end up with something like that, but to the normal clansmen it's a total unknown.

The description of Elsa is a little surprising, admittedly. Yata was someone expecting someone that sounded a bit more dangerous and in control of herself and less like an anxious wreck. Takes all kinds, he supposes.

"Right. Well..." Yata shrugs. "I'll stay out of her way, in that case."
