Lothar shook his head. "Nah, I wouldn' say that. Aside from everythin' else you have that neat..." he waved his hands again, "...trick. That's gonna come in useful. Plus, can't elves smell evil? If you think Maria's hidin' somethin', I'll bet she is. Or she's bein' affected by it. Something."
He sighed, taking a long pull of nearly-flat beer. "Personally, I'm feeling pretty damn useless. A sword or a gun ain't much use in diggin' out magic. Luckily, this here helps with those kinds o' feelings." He lifted the mug at Illiiya in a toast.
