I think they want to understand magic better. But I don't know that they'll learn how to better from me. I'm magic to the bone.

[it's an explanation for why they're warier of nonhumans, honestly... some worlds and places just have more magic than others.]

They've poked at me a little bit. It might work better on the others? I'm not sure.

[that's one of the things he's uncertain about here.]
