"Heh heh...heroes. Sure. This is a nice enchantment, though. I kinda wanna go to town and test it out. Whattaya say? Take the new spell for a test run?"
She starts heading back to the square.
"And you mentioned you had a kid and a grandkid who's a drow? Tell me about that."

"Ah, Gowran and Wendamari, my daughter and granddaughter respectively! During one of my adventures, I came upon a drow cave filled with the foul creatures! After defeating all but a few, I noticed a young one among them- barely able to walk on her own. Sympathy overcame me and instead of saving the world from her blight, I decided to take her home for my daughter Gowran. Poor Gowran, she's brilliant but never was good with adventuring or romance. She always wanted a child of her own, but could never find someone willing to be with her long enough.
"Bringing the drow child home, Gowran vowed to raise her as one of us, although the obvious differences would be difficult. I commissioned a human to build us a house big enough for the drow, assuming she grew to normal size. WE also learned soon after she had an....affinity to water. It wishes to do whatever she wants."
Birdi leaned in close to whisper into Birdie's ear.
"In reality, it's because water has a crush on the lass. Beautiful as the night sky, with eyes you could get lost in, and a rack to be proud of if I may say so myself."

"Heh. She sounds fun to be around, then. The granddaughter, not your daughter. She sounds boring as hell. Wait, how old are you, anyway?"
Birdie walks down the road, waving and smiling at passer-by and merchants. She starts to feel the effects of the enchantment, as she turns heads and attracts stares from everyone on the road.
"This is pretty fun. Thanks for the enchantment, Birdi."
She buys some fried thing on a stick and crunches on it, then holds it out to the pixie.
"Want a bite? It's good."

Birdi grabs the stick, larger than herself and just as heavy, with one hand and took a bite out of it.
"Admittedly, my daughter tends to stay on the safer side....but I love her regardless. She's as sharp as a tack and knows more than I ever will about keeping a house clean and tidy. As for my age? I am thousands of years old by now! Each year as exciting as the last! Well, except for the last 100 or so, that was mostly helping Gowran raise Wendamari."

"Wow, really? You look so young..."
Birdie winks flirtatiously at a guard.
"I'm liking this enchantment...hey, what do you want to do now? Where do you want to go?"
She reaches bumps into a cake seller and takes his wallet while Birdi is distracted by the snack.

"Hm, I had hoped we train you in sword fighting, but I suppose if you want to keep stealing from people who need the money more than you, I guess it can't be helped." Birdi said as she pointed to the cake seller looking at them.
"Word to the wise, young Birdie- you can't fool a pixie."

"What do you mean people who need it more than me? They have jobs and houses! I'm unemployed and I don't have anywhere to live! Inns are expensive, you know."
She sighs.
"I figured it might work. Can't blame me for trying. And I suppose we can practice swordfighting if it'll make you stop pestering me about it."

"You are a princess, yes? You have had everything handed to you from an early age. They have not. These people, they have worked hard to get where they are! They are not rich folk, they do what they can to get by and they are happy! You, however, have the entire world in the palm of your hand and you are still upset. If it is treasure you seek there are other ways to obtain it that don't involve breaking laws." Birdi said as she pointed to a board in the center of town. On it listed multiple quests for people to take on for various amounts of money.
"But first, we should train you! I wish to see what you're capable of. I shall learn what you know, then you shall unlearn it, then learn what I know, and then you will unlearn that and learn what you need!"

"Hmmph. Sounds complicated."
Birdie looks at the board curiously.
"Kill the sewer monster? Catch the murderer? Find my cat? None of these are really my style..."
She groans and turns back to Birdi.
"Fine. I give up. Training it is. Let's go back to the woods."
She walks back towards the woods, and turns around towards the pixie.
"And I'm a duchess. Not a princess. There's a difference."

"Duchess, princess, queen, you're rich and a human. The world's your oyster!" Birdi said as she floated backwards at eye level in front of her.

"Hmmph. Must be a tough oyster then."
She walks back to the clearing in the woods where Birdi fixed her shirt.
"So how do you wanna do this? Because I don't want to get stabbed over and over with that little cocktail sword of yours. It looks painful."

Birdi laughed.
"Yes, you should fear my blade! Though it is not my original, it's nearly as powerful! But I shall spare you another disrobing. We go until you hit me or you become too tired to continue. I will simply....observe your technique." She said as she pulled her sword from its sheath. With one hand, she held the sword outward towards Birdie, her other hand behind her back. Her stance was confident, even when she continued to hover around eye level.

"Hit you? I dunno about that. You're pretty small and quick. And if I do hit you, you'll be skewered like that fried whatever-it-was I bought earlier."
She draws her sword and raises it like she was taught.
"Well, if you say so..."
She thrusts towards the floating pixie.

Birdi barely moved out of the way of the blade before moving back into place.
"Come, now! How do you know what you can and cannot do if you do not try? As for harming me, is this not what you want? You seem to have a distaste for pixies. Imagine getting sweet revenge on me for daring to interfere with your thievery! How satisfying it would be if I were to have my wings clipped! Now, then! Hit me!"

Birdie pulls the blade back, an annoyed look on her face.
"Hit you? That's like trying to hit a fly! You move too much!"
She changes tactics, slashing across from right to left and trying to slice the pixie in half.

"A fly as large as your head, perhaps! Your accuracy needs work and your footwork is sloppy!" Birdi trolled as she dodged up and down to avoid being sliced by the rapier, returning to her original spot each time. Based on how elegantly she moved, it was like breathing.

"Grr..."
Birdie swings across again, then downward, then upward in an attempt to hit the pixie. She grows more and more frustrated with every miss.
"This is why I don't like dueling!"
She pulls off her cloak and tries to throw it over Birdi and pin her down.

Birdi continued to dodge the swipes, but when the cloak was pulled off and thrown at her, it fell to the ground. Birdi seemingly vanished. Birdie would soon after feel a slight prick on the back of her neck.
"It is not about winning the fight, but about how entertaining you can make it." She would hear from behind as Birdi spoke. "Spice your attacks up! Move around more! You are not some soldier in plate armor, you aren't hindered by what you wear but rather how agile you are! I assume you're lithe, attempt to flank the enemy."
Birdi dashed backward a bit and got back into her fighting stance.
"Again!" She called out.

"Ouch..."
Birdie rubs her neck, then lifts her sword again and swings. Assuming she misses again, she jumps forward and tries to get in close. She swings the sword at the pixie, but when Birdi dodges, she swings her left hand and tries to slap her out of the air.

Birdi dodges just as Birdie predicted, taking the slap to the face. However, she didn't move quite as far as Birdie would have liked, as the little pixie managed to block it with her free hand.
"Good! You've learned your sword is not your only weapon!" She said with a grin before taking a step back and lowering her sword.
"Well, as promised, we went until you managed to hit me. I assume you are tired of this already? Or would you like to learn more? You have potential, you only need to work on using your environment to your advantage. Standing still does you no good if you have no armor to protect you."
