Comments

[probe]

No. [they say that so, so firmly and quickly.] And I don't want to.

[toesies]

... Oh. Sorry. Sore spot?

[probe]

Not a fan. I don't know the limits of what it can do. So I don't like it.

[toesies]

No offense, but isn't that something you would normally solve by— you know, studying up on it?

[probe]

Not many people can do it. It's not easy to study.

[toesies]

[......... pride are you bitter you can't use magic is that it

she does not say that.]

Makes sense. I can't imagine magic is the kind of thing you'd want in many people's hands, anyway.

[probe]

[they are scowling, not that she can see it. just, big scowl energy.]

No. It isn't. It can boil blood and bring people back from the brink of death. Something that powerful is something I want far, far away from me.

[toesies]

[BIG SCOWL ENERGY FROM SUCH A TINY BODY...]

Oh, my god. While the blood is still inside you?

[probe]

Yes.

[do you see why they don't like it.]

[toesies]

Yikes. I see why you are not a fan.
