Narcisisstic? [It's not a foreign concept to Ramesses. He knows what the word means. Where his confusion lies is in understanding how it would apply.] I would think it a declaration of trust and confidence in yourself. I see nothing narcissistic in invoking your own power.
[Which Ramesses would assume to be perfect for Fang in that instance what with all of her emphasis on being so self-reliant and self-assured, and all the ways in which Fang consistently places herself in the role of someone else's protector. Even without her holding a similar belief in iconography as he does, he would think that would resonate well with her enough not to question it.]
[...Still. Not that Ramesses would ever go so far as to pity Fang (if only because he'd rather not listen to her crass suggestion of where might place that sort of emotion), there is something a bit sad about the notion she can only think of her own strength and her own abilities as being something that can afford her protection.]
[He shakes his head a little.]
But if you truly find that distasteful then perhaps something less specific than that. It can merely be something that brings you comfort. [Which he recognizes is likely a short list for her. So, before she has the opportunity to prove his suspicion correct, he adds,] Something you believe to be worth fighting for.
[He would shrug, but Ramesses doesn't want to find the limit of his own spell and discover an uncomfortable to painful twinge.]
They needn't be so personal though if you don't want them to be. I'm sure Caster would be capable of finding an arrangement of runes appropriate to whatever spells you intend. As aggravating as he is, I must admit he possesses a natural talent.
