Fandom High Welcome Picnic, Front Lawn of the School, All Day: Part II

[bigdamnprincipal]

So, the heat meant that many of the tables and chairs had been set up in the shade, and someone had found outdoor table umbrellas in blue and gold, god help us all. But hey, a little heat never hurt anyone who wasn't a vampire, right?

Ahem. The picnic was open for warm, sunny business.

[OCD is up! This is the picnic post for general mingling. Roommates, fake siblings and teachers are all here. Since it's outside, the picnic is open to all students, teachers, and townies!]

"Right, and they're rare enough that you probably aren't going to just trip over them," Anders nodded. "They like mountains and old ruins -- I've never seen one in real life. And I'll be just as happy not to."

"Even with magic?" Margaery wondered. "What is that fighting magic for, if not to battle dragons and the like? Not that I know anything."

"Sure, if you have five or ten mages you could make a go of it that way," Anders speculated. "But it's like knights. One knight probably isn't going to do much good against a dragon. Some people might be strong enough, but it's rare."

It took a moment, but Margaery slowly nodded in understanding. "It's another weapon?" she ventured. "Some prefer a sword, some a warhammer...some a staff, if you've the gift?"

She waved a hand, gracefully. "And please tell me if I'm asking too many questions. I promise to take no offense."

"Believe me, I'd tell you if it bothered me," Anders promised. "And -- yes, that's about it. Magic's a bit more complicated than a sword, but I still can't take down a dragon with a few bolts of lightning."

He wasn't going to bring up demons or abominations, who probably could slay a dragon with magic. It wasn't necessary, and it didn't seem like it would serve their friendship at this point.

"Then consider yourself the lead candidate for the position of who I shall hide behind when the quarterly attack should happen," Margaery declared with a smile."So far I haven't met anyone else who can deal in lightning strikes, in all my six-and-ten years, so you seem a sensible choice."

"Hopefully it won't come to that," Anders told her. "But if it does, I'll be ready."
