So... in all of your grand adventures, the most interesting people you've ever met is your own blood.
[ That resonates with -- something in him. There's a pang, deep in his gut, though he cannot tell if it's admiration or envy. It's a sweet thought, Sandry's expression so open and earnest, so utterly without guile that it can't be to appeal to any feeling save for the ardent desire for others to share her admiration. Is that what it's like to be raised with loving parents, to be raised without competition? His mind can't help but drift to his own siblings, to Sylvain's own Miklan, the harsh way in which he's heard Felix discuss Glen in dark whispers that he'd never been meant to hear, all victims of a sorry upbringing.
For whatever Sandry's parents' other flaws may be, they raised loving children. There's something to be said for that. ]
I can tell how much you love them, [ he says, expression softening. ] And all of you with gifts! So, you've got a mage who can control the weather, a mage who can control metal, and a mage who can control plants. In that case... which is your specialty? Don't forget, we first met when you thought you were an ordinary girl in the village.
