@feelthehex I could do it again, now. Magic, steadies the hands.
[Lifting said hands, he furrows his brow.]
But, no. My calling is greater, now. It has to be.
@feelthehex The job needs doing. I’m the only one qualified.
[His expression is thoughtful for a moment.]
I was a surgeon for a long time. You have to have nerves of steel for that, too.
@feelthehex I can tell. You’re getting stronger.
[He settles beside her then, hands on his thighs, though he lifts one to gesture to his chest.]
… I think the most overwhelming thing I’ve ever felt was knowing that I am responsible for reality itself. It’s a big deal.
@feelthehex No offence, but you couldn’t take my job.
[He’s moving to a shelf now, pulling a book down to hold it out to her.]
You might find this one interesting. What’s your question?
@feelthehex [The phrasing of it makes him exhale in amusement, nodding as he watches her. Both of her.]
You say that like you think I would willingly deny you knowledge. Of course.
