[ That's interesting to her, that the magic she knows uses mediums like wands and spellbooks. She's got quite a lot of her own, but the ki energy she uses makes using wands and things rather redundant. She'll have to ask about that at some point, since she knows her own boyfriend uses fire magic that he channels into his weapons to use as well.

But what interests her even more is that Rosella had been scared at all of the machines-- it's somewhat confusing at the same time. After all, here she was around so much technology and yet all it took were wheels and gears...

Gears...

She stops. Perhaps there's something in that itself. Still, she watches Rosella as she speaks, taking in her reactions and expressions, even as she sips her own tea.

She's such a lovely girl, it's almost sad to see her doing what Megumi finds herself painfully familiar with. And she lowers her cup, offering her a gentle smile when she's done, and nodding to her words. ]

Just when you think this place couldn't get any worse, eh?

[ A soft sigh as she looks away for a moment, then speaks again. ]

But I suppose... even with the things we consider bad, there are certain other things we learn from them.

[ Turning to look back at Rosella, she pauses for a moment, then sighs, looking at her with a hint of an apologetic look. ]

It was brave of you to tell Cain what you did, Rosella. I can't imagine it's been easy on you either.

[ Shatter the illusion, get to the point. Megumi has been a healer, a doctor-- tact only goes so far, and she knows when she needs to be direct. Her expression grows a bit more neutral as she lets Rosella realize that she's not unaware of the problem, and in turn, of her own possible unease on the subject. ]
