Unlike many, she truly does have manners. A whore and a pirate for a father, of course she does, they're the best sort to teach those things despite what most ignorant people might think. And well, Korrin took up with a rifter, and Araceli has a silver tongue so even if it's the two of them asking through other people at first it might work well enough because Araceli isn't entirely sure of how all the loyalties lie exactly.

"I can repair and maintain, I can even draw them but I couldn't fashion my own," but now he's planted an idea and that's terrible. Especially when rifters are feared for other reasons that don't include weapons they could fashion from home, when they could probably figure out gunpowder quite easily. Imagine a bard with a pistol tucked into her bodice. Still, she'll give him the quickest version of the story that she can so he knows, because he smells like the sea that she misses, because she remembers being new and frightened, Korrin's hand hauling her up and out of the snow. "Not so much now but at the start when we were all very new? Yes. A Templar threw accusations very loudly and things from beyond the Veil that come from the Fade are spirits at best - and even then not always trusted - or demons at worst. Many normal people fear them, and they fear the mages because they think a mage is just waiting to get possessed at any moment - they used to lock most of the mages up in towers where they could. That's the kind of world we're in, isn't it wonderful." She smiles, sharp as a knife. At least she's going to make it better for the mages even if it means working her fingers to the bone.
