She then giggled a bit, recalling a childhood memory. Specifically, one of Tier. "But it sure was your thing."/span/span/p

If you can call ranting about who has cooler magic abilities normal. Neither would show it in an obvious form, but they were beyond happy to just talk again. Almost to the point of shedding tears.
