It was, [a pause,] an unforgettable experience, [the Fool decides upon dryly. Then he reaches for his teacup and adds archly, closing his eyes,] More's the pity. [sip.]
[At the inquiry about his magic, he visibly brightens and sets his teacup back down.] A serendipitous accident, in truth. By chance I had cause to brush my fingertips against pure Skill magic coating the arms of a great king in my home world. More than this surely would have killed me, [he admits, considering his fingertips with a look on his face that is difficult to read.]
There is more to know of the Skill than I have had the chance learn, but I fear even if I did know it, those aren't my secrets to share. Suffice it to say that here and now, I can use this gift to give life and depth to my work you won't find anywhere else.
