"Seriously, though, I'm looking for someone."
The apprentice arch-mage either didn't understand what Jasmine had said, or chose to misinterpret it.
"I would think that such an attractive woman as yourself should have very little trouble finding what she's looking for. Might an accomplished magic user be of service in your search? Or might you be looking
