[Cue the sound of a fifteen-year-old trying to play it cool and not sound nearly as nervous as she was starting to get:]
So...uh...shot in the dark here: is there anyone who's special abilities are acting a little...off? [Because that was so specific] Either the ones you've picked up from Jaunts along the way, or whatever powers you had before you got here?
[There might have been a slight emphasis on the latter, which was what she was more concerned with at the moment.]
No reason. I was just curious, is all.
[She wasn't just curious.]

[ Even if it is sort of the case, he still finds it necessary to make the distinction. ]
no subject
Sorry. I'm kind of used to blurring the lines between show magic and the real thing. I didn't mean any offense.
no subject
[ The deity doesn't sound offended, merely mildly curious. ]
no subject
[A pause, for maybe a second, before she subsequently added:] ...okay, yeah, I know that sounds a bit cliche, but it's kind of true. Magic done by someone who not only knows what they're talking about, but is willing to fight the good fight? It's cool. But if you mix it with someone who only uses it to hurt others, or--even worse--somebody who had absolutely no idea what they're doing...
Not cool.
no subject
What magic do you have?
no subject
[Her usual first response. It was both unique and accurate while still leaving an area of not actually answering the question itself.]
Sort of a family specialty. We can cast all sorts of spells. Illusions. Transformations. I can even change the weather around me. So long as I say the right incantation in the right language.
no subject
So it is magic based on words? I hope you have a way of casting even if your voice is neutralized.
no subject
But...I'm not quite strong enough yet. [Ironically enough, given half the issue was an unexpected sure in power.]
He could write spells down. I even saw him use sign language once. It was perfect for the stage.
no subject
[ He says this, because he has seen it happen many times. ]
no subject
Easier said than done.
I don't even know sign language. Much.
no subject
[ It's logical to him. Knowledge must be acquired with hard work, nothing else. ]
With effort, it is possible.
no subject
It's not like I can just hop on the nearest computer and look it up on the internet.

Find someone to teach it to you. You did say we travel to many different worlds. If you keep your eye out, you are bound to find knowledge in some places. It takes time and patience.
no subject
[It wasn't that it was a bad idea, per say. Back home, she would have been all over that. She just wasn't sure how much time in between Jaunts she would have to start learning.]
no subject
[ After all, the principles of Lucence dictate that results will only be borne out of hard work, and as its Father he is always willing to help in that aspect. ]
