[This is absolutely what mages do these days. Lalli is going to step right in as soon as Sieg lets him in too, no waiting out in the space between for him. Sieg might be able to catch a distinct feeling of 'wow something is out there and watching us' if he leaves the barrier open too long too.]
Hi.
[At least they can understand each other here. That's what Lalli was hoping for.]
We don't have long before we'll have to move again, but the others will wake us up when it's time to go. Who are you, and why were you in that hospital?
How? ... I was made, I don't know the exact workings of how to make other homunculi. We're made to be magical batteries, servants and soldiers so mages don't have to risk themselves that way.
[A homunculus. Something Lalli knows about, vaguely, but not something he had ever seen in person. Not until now. And something about Sieg's description doesn't sit right with him.]
But...you have magic. And you dream. That makes you a person, doesn't it?

Date: 2021-09-07 05:22 am (UTC)I'm Sieg. I was made to be a battery, so I... guess that's why I was in the hospital? I don't remember much leading up to that point.

[Part of Lalli wants to argue that is ridiculous, but the power did go out when he took Sieg out of that tube...maybe he really was a battery.]
I've never heard of any kind of magic that can do that.

You talk like you're a 'thing. But that's not right. 'Things' don't dream.

As much as he would like to have a life of his own, it just didn't work out for him.]
