[ Her expression remains warm as she watches Margaery handle the blade. ] You needn't. [ Adrasteia shakes her head a little. ] I enjoy gifting things to others, it gives me a sense of... I don't know. Hope seems like a silly thing to claim, and yet.
[ She'd like to be remembered, and remembered well, when she inevitably shuffles off the mortal coil, as it were. ]
Everyone should be able to use a knife and have a decent one in my opinion, but I am biased; it's how I was first trained to defend myself.
[ there's a foundation of bittersweet relief that always surfaces even more whenever Margaery thinks about the fact that she'll never return home, but her smile is endlessly grateful: ]
I don't think hope is a silly thing to claim at all. Especially not when you're gifting it to me also. If I am to acclimate as much as I can to my new home, this will be a necessity, I'm sure.
[ she pretends to give Adrasteia a lookover before grinning more playfully. ]
Something tells me you're absolutely lethal with a knife, my lady. And how did you get trained, if you don't mind my asking?
[ Adrasteia can't help but smile even more broadly in the face of Margaery's clear joy at her gift. ]
Ah, my father taught me. I think he was hoping for me to become very skilled with them as a way to avoid my becoming a mage, but I think I manage a passable handle on the matter.
