[IRP] Between Two Worlds

[Victor]

Sergius nodded appreciatively at her comment. He was glad she'd been smart enough to have finally caught on to his being a holy man, and finally stop her pithy attempts at seduction. There was no purity in what she did, but these were the kinds of foreigners that one must deal with during travel.

He stood up along with her after leaving an adequate payment on the table. Sergius tried to conceal his frown when she offered her left hand, but he readily took it into an awkward shake with his own right hand.

"Sergius," he introduced himself. "Where are we walking to, Selia?"

He began a fast paced walk to the door, whispering a small incantation and prayer. He opened the door for Selia with his right hand, projecting with his left a small barrier of light magic, about a foot above the door frame, that blocked out the oncoming rain, a small trick he had learned from the masters in the drearier parts of Etruria. If his shield could hold fast against a sword, it could hold fast against raindrops. He kindly made a motion as to wave her through the door after himself, pleasingly listening to the patter and sizzle of the raindrops onto the warm light magic.
