If it's any comfort, neither had I. And magic's just a word; it's all just applied metaphysics.

[nursetemple]

Oh. So you can explain it with science?

[thewarningafter]

Ah...no.

[Not...science, exactly.]

Kind of?

[nursetemple]

[She leans in, resting her chin on her hand, her elbow on her knee.]

Then, how?

[thewarningafter]

It involves aligning your spirit to shape reality.

[Just gonna float that past her to see whether she's going to laugh at him.]

[nursetemple]

[She blinks, once, twice, a smile twitching at the corners of her lips. She presses her hand to her mouth, pursing her lips.]

And opening your chakras?

[thewarningafter]

That's generally how you go about aligning your spirit, yeah.

[nursetemple]

[She can't help it, she chuckles.]

You're telling me if I keep on meditating I can use magic?

[thewarningafter]

There's a little more to it than that, but...kind of?

I can show you. I mean, I can't show you, but I can do a hell of a light show.

[nursetemple]

But you couldn't teach me, if I said I wanted to learn? Is it not something innate in all of us?

[thewarningafter]

Be kind of hard here, but...yeah. I could. It just takes study and practice.

[nursetemple]

Interesting. Influenced by Asian culture and religion?

[thewarningafter]

A lot of it. Not everything.

[nursetemple]

Got to say, it's quite fascinating. I knew there's a whole other sphere of spirituality and all, but never really quite believed it real. How long have you been studying it?

[thewarningafter]

A bit over a year. I've always been a quick study.

[nursetemple]

Or a genius? That's what I heard, anyway.

[thewarningafter]

[Stephen grins.]

Funny, I've heard the same thing.

[nursetemple]

Don't let it get to your head, Stephen.

[thewarningafter]

Too late.

[nursetemple]

What am I going to do with you now, huh? [She chuckles, tucking hair behind her ear.]

[thewarningafter]

Maybe remind me that it's not about me every now and then.

[nursetemple]

It's definitely not about you right now, but you know that, don't you?

[thewarningafter]

Okay, I didn't mean right this second.
