You mean I'm going to have to do a spell in front of a bunch of toffs? Kim said, outraged that no one had mentioned this before she had agreed to this come-out.Yes, exactly, Lady Wendall said serenely. You and Richard have plenty of time to design something that will reflect your unique background, as well as demonstrating your abilities as a wizard. I am looking forward to seeing what you decide upon.I could pick everyone's pockets at once with magic, Kim said, still disgruntled. That'd 'reflect my unique background', all right.
In a conversation between Kim and Lady Wendall, Kim expresses her frustration about having to perform a spell in front of an elite audience, something that was not disclosed before her commitment. She seems outraged by the expectation and the pressure to impress the high-class guests.
Lady Wendall, maintaining her calm demeanor, reassures Kim that she and Richard have ample time to create a spell that showcases their unique heritage and magical skills. However, Kim sarcastically suggests that a display of pickpocketing would indeed represent her background, highlighting her dissatisfaction and the difficulty of conforming to social expectations.
