Magda reached out and took Andromeda's hand, not shaking it, just holding it firmly. That's how her people did greetings. "Chápem myšlienku. Moje meno je Magdalena Pirtzkhova."
(I understand the idea. My name is Magdalena Pirtzkhova.)

"That sounds about right," Cassie whispered as she fought to keep her eyes open.

Andromeda grinned. "It's nice to meet you, Magda. I was wondering where you came from and if you wanted to go back. I can help with that, if you wanted."

Max quieted, letting her rest. "I've got you. You're safe. Sleep, love."

"Pochádzam z ďaleko na severe." Magda knew that the gods had brought her here to the South for a reason, and who was she to question the gods? "Moji bohovia ma tu chcú, takže tu zostanem."
(I'm from far to the North. My gods want me here, so I'm staying here.)

Cassie smiled softly and just before she fell into a soft sleep, she whispered to Max. "I love you."

"Huh...that is a good way of thinking about it...I don't knoe if anyone wants me anywhere. Besides my magic. It makes me go places. It lead me to you," Andromeda shrugged. "Maybe so I could help you. Maybe the God's sent me there."

Max smiled, kissing her cheek. "Love you too."

Magda nodded her head side to side and shrugged a little. "Možno." She took a slow methodical breath. "Takže, aké sú vaše právomoci? Ak sa môžem spýtať..." She wasn't entirely sure what the woman could do, but it was completely different than anything she'd ever seen.
(Perhaps. So what are your powers? If I can ask...)

Cassie then fell asleep in his arms, her dreams far away, and peaceful. (Letting them be)

"I grant wishes, sort of. I broker deals with people. My magic takes care of my end and sometimes I get their end up front. But typically it ends up as a physical marker for both of us. I get a mark and so do they. I can summon them using the mark. If they die before their end, their soul sits in limbo until I use their side of the deal. In Marge's case, she gave me a healing," Andromeda explained. "Or the basic version of it. Any questions about it? Or is it okay if I ask about yours?"

"Dohoda? Znie to užitočné, bolo to užitočné." Magda paused as she tried to find a good way to sum up her power without making it sound useless. "Mojou silou je naplniť veci. Znie to zbytočné, ale nie je. Môžem naplniť takmer čokoľvek. Sklo, doska, peňaženka, krv, puško, kanón..." She hoped that this Andromeda would see that it wasn't something silly, that it could save lives, it could help her live more easily.

(Agreement? It sounds useful, it was useful. My power is to fill things. It sounds unnecessary, but it is not. I can fill almost anything. Glass, plate, wallet, blood, rifle, cannon...)

"Truly? Like refill water supplies? Food supplies? You already proved it is useful. It would have taken Cassie a long time to reproduce blood in her body. You cut that recovery down to a fraction of that time! You can do a lot with that power. It probably can save your life, should you need it," Andromeda mused, imagining all the ways she would use such powers to help people. She wished her power would work like that. She tried to minimize the end of her bargins for people who deserved it but magic seemed to demand fair trade.

Magda nodded when she mentioned water and food, and the saving her own life. She'd done that countless times. "Môžem sa spýtať, ako ťa rozumiem? Hovoríte iným jazykom, ale rozumiem tomu, čo máte na mysli..." That was the one thing that was truly puzzling her, but she figured it was something to do with Andromeda's magic.

(Can I ask how I understand you? You speak a different language, but I understand what you mean...)

"Yes, it would be my magic. It seems to be blind to language barriers. I personally think it is just another way to ensure I can broker deals with anyone my magic demands I broker deals with," Andromeda shrugged. "Maybe it is fate, a higher power like a god, or something else. Not all that weird for me to wake suddenly in the middle of the night summoned by someone seeking a deal."

"To je zaujímavé..." Magda let her eyes take in the rest of Andromeda, mostly just looking at the tattoos, but also the woman beneath them. "Môžem sa vás spýtať, odkiaľ ste?" She didn't mean to give her the once over, but that is quite likely how it'd be interpreted.

(That's interesting... Can I ask you where are you from?)

"Here. I was not caught. I was born and raised a slave. Forth or fifth generation slave, I think. All I know is I never met my grandparents. Or my father. But at least my skin was as dark as my mothers so I know I am not some rich slaver's unwanted, sold off daughter. Mother always claimed my dad was an angel. Less inclined to believe that. But anyway," Andromeda shrugged.

"To je nechutné. Zvyšovanie dieťaťa už je otrok..." Magdalena shook her head, her jaw held tight. "Ako urobil vy zadarmo sami?"

(That's disgusting. Raising the baby already a slave... How did you free yourself?)

Andromeda hide her face, breathing evenly for a few moments. "I didn't free myself. The worst part was I was perfectly content to live that life. I had it better then most. My abilities elevated me to a better status. Still not good but better then at the very bottom, right? My skin so interesting and colorful, it made them more descret in where they punished me if they didn't like what I did or were just feeling it," she admitted, shaking. "I helped others escape. Like the healer. So, so many friends fled, disappeared into thin air. I stopped taking their efforts to heart and just started offering freedom. What was the point? They never came back for me anyway. Wouldn't you try to send help? Wouldn't you make the effort? After tbe lives we lived, I can't really blame them. But I do feel resentment over being used. Of course, when so many dissappeared after being seen with me, my masters figured it out. I was isolated, locked away with no contact with other slaves. Just the staff of the household...I think I went mad...I remember them taking me out less and less...then the rebellion liberated the place. I think it was mostly over a young woman the man was abusing. Anyway, I fled. I fled with the other slaves but ran away from evrryone else. I needed to think, to adjust. One of the woman in the rebellion found me and made sure I made it until I adjusted. So...I help with these missions," Andromeda shrugged. Her mind went on, remembering the "friends" she had seen since she had been freed. They had wanted nothing to do with her, resenting her for having the deal hanging over their head. Reaching up, she tried to rub her eyes nonchalantly, but her hand was shaking.

Magda took notice of how much her entire form shook with what she could perceive as anger, sorrow, and perhaps a twinge of fear. She reached a hand over and gently placed it on her shoulder, her emerald eyes intensely staring into hers. "Si dobrý človek. Musíte nájsť spôsob, ako odísť bolest z minulosti a pokračovať. Ak tomu tak nie je, utopíte sa vo svojich vlastných obavách. Ste tiež veľmi silní... Trvá veľa odvahy robiť to, čo ste urobili..." She paused thinking about what to say to help what looked like serious emotional trauma. "Hoci môže to byť nie byť veľa hodnota z od cudzinca, ty si úctyhodný v mojich očiach." She meant more along the lines of honorable, but exact translations aren't always perfect.

(You are a good person. You need to find a way to take the pain out of the past and continue. If it is not, you will drown in your own fears. It takes a lot of courage to do what you did... Although this may not be of much value from a stranger, you are respectable in my eyes.)

Andromeda smiled at the translations slight hiccup. It sounded like it would have been better in her language then the magic allowed. "Thank you, Magdalena. I try not to let it way on me too much. I try to focus on the now and the future. I tend to worry about peoples motives still. What did you do before you were caught?"

Magda smiled and nodded before taking a deep breath and chuckling. "Som veľký bojovník medzi mojimi ľuďmi. Mojou úlohou bolo chrániť starších, deti a chorých, a na lov veľký jeleň našej krajiny." She paused as a few memories of past hunts flitted through her minds eye, some proud, some almost devastating. She shook her head to bring herself back to the situation. "Moji ľudia boli jednoduchí, ale mali najlepšie zbrane. Najlepšie pušky vyrobili naši kováči."

(I am a great fighter among my people. My role was to protect the elderly, the children and the sick, and to hunt the great deer of our country. My people were simple, but they had the best weapons. The best rifles were made by our blacksmiths.)

"Oh, I bet you are a fierce and honorable fighter. I'm familiar with riffles but haven't hunted anything more then small game," Andromeda said, thinking of her mostly failed attempts. "I typically end up just surviving on whatever I can barter for. The rebellion has tried to pay me but I can't take that money. I just make small carvings or blankets to sell. Then I can make my own way in life."

Magda nodded, understanding that the woman found her own way to make a living. "Znie to, ako by si bol šťastný s tým, ako vy žijúci." What the woman had done was a respectable way to make a living. Now that she thought about it, she could potentially have lived among her people, or at least in a village nearby.

(It sounds like you're happy with how you lived.

"I am. Little lonely at times...I really should just see if I can adopt a cat or dog. Making friends can be difficult," Andromeda shrugged. "May I ask what you plan to do? Do you wish to go home or are you going to make your own way here?"
