[Adra's in his little apartment kitchen when he broadcasts this, wearing an apron and presiding over several bowls of various ingredients--blueberries, strawberries, cream, sugar, eggs, flour, etc. His elf ears have shifted to the Cordis cat's--a slightly darker shade of blond than his hair and very fluffy. His long, cream-colored tail swishes about as he talks. His voice is as deep and booming as ever, but there's a brighter tone to it--strangely upbeat.]

Bal'a dash. I hope the evening finds you all well and warm. I just have a few quick words.

[He starts slicing a strawberry as he goes on.]

Many of you arrived here already gifted in the ways of magic. But I've met several others who have never had such powers before. I've seen confusion and anxiety due to this, and I want you all to know that I'd be glad to help, if I can.

[He twirls his flour-dusted finger, and a ribbon of sparkling Light dances around his hand.]

Though I've devoted myself to the priesthood in recent years, I was once a mage of some skill--had apprentices, even. If you need instruction or advice in the ways of magic, please don't hesitate to call on me.

[The Light fades as he bows his head slightly, his furry ears twitching.]

My name is Adrasteius, and I'm at your disposal.

I find myself in possession of lightning aspected magic, though I have only mastered the flames since I was a child. Using it to its full extent has required extensive practice.

However, I am willing to hear you out if you're as much of an expert as you claim.

[ Besides, he feels he ought to get to know him properly, all things considered. ]

[Hmm. Honestly, he's not sure what he could reasonably do for someone as bold and confident as Percival. The man seems to know exactly who he is and what he wants--valuable traits for anyone, but especially for a practitioner of magic.]

I was born with fire in my blood, but these days I channel that into the divine.

But magic is magic, regardless. In the end, it's less the specific element and more the strength of your will.

And, if I may be frank, you already seem pretty willful.
