Hello, everyone. I’m Zita.

[ the woman on the screen smiles at the direction of the far caster, giving a polite wave before she returns to the task of packing up some things for the day.

judging by her surroundings as packs her things while she speaks towards the far caster, it seems that she’s taken residence in, well, the queen’s residence. ]

I hope this isn’t presumptuous of me to ask on this but— I’m hoping to offer my healing services to those here in the Queen's Residence or around the city for free.

However I’ve been informed that it’ll be in my best interest if I had an escort with me when I do this. If anyone is willing to keep me company, I would be grateful for it and be willing to pay you back somehow. You're all welcome to seek me for healing too, of course.

[ she pauses. as if considering something.

usually, she would end her message here and refocus her attention on the next task at hand - in this case, her packing for her when she heads out - but... ]

If you’re not interested in that, you’re welcome to also make use of my fortune telling services instead. Payment for this will be required but I promise the price for it is reasonable enough. I only ask for a story.

And that's it. Thank you for taking the time to hear me speak.

[ added ooc note;; for those who would like to thread out their and zita's time out in the city for the free healing services, i now have a log post with that activity as one of the top-levels! feel free to hit it up if you're interested. ]

[ she is surprised by the explanation behind the question but after she gets over her surprise (and admitted defensiveness) - she has to concede that it's a reasonable thing to ask.

if mordred needed help if something happened that required backup - a figurative knock of the wood is now being inserted here - would zita be able to help her...? ]

I'm adept in the field of warding. [ hm. that requires an explanation: ] I can create shields and barriers that can deflect different types of damage. They take time to create, however, and I need materials and energy to prepare these in advance.

[ so note to self: prepare something that can be used to quickly throw up a shield when she does her rounds. just in case. ]

And I, in theory, could use a more combative type of magic if needed but... I'm not what you could call an expert on those fields.

That's fine, leave the combat to me.

[She doesn't sound like it's going to be a problem.]

I can definitely by time for you to set up a shield, but it probably won't be needed.

[She's pretty sure she can handle it.]

Are you sure? At the very least, I can bring the items and have them at the ready in case it happens. [ one could almost hear zita physically fret on her end of the audio. ] It-It doesn't seem right to just leave you by yourself. What if there's more than one person trying to harass you?

[ zita- you're hiring her to literally deal with the problem.

her anxiety over others getting hurt and knowing it's her fault, in any way, is very much showing in this moment. ]

All right, all right, if it makes you feel better. I'm just saying you're probably not going to need them, it'll take more than a group of people to throw me off.

[Bold words considering the next event. But they serve the purpose of letting Zita bring along the supplies just in case without Mordred having to admit she's not as awesome as she claims. She can be pretty awesome, but she's definitely not untouchable or anything like that.]

Thank you. I promise to be of great help should the time come for it.

[ happy and at ease with the knowledge she might be of help, she thinks the conversation has reached a good end. she still has other things to do before the day draws to a close and, well, zita didn't want to keep mordred tied up. there's a strong chance mordred has a busy schedule herself.

no need to keep her tied down to their chat. pleasant as zita thought it had gone. ]

I think I should let you go back to your day, Mordred. I'll message you if anything comes up on my end.
