"I'm starting to learn a little magic! It's only the human kind though."

He nods. "Humans can't do our kind. Dunno if I'd have ever learned any, if I was human. Fiddly stuff. Fey magic's more instinctual."

"Like how?"

"Like--I can just--do this," he says, and reaches out and turns part of her sleeve bright green, and back. "Didn't have to learn how. Just could."

"Oh, that's lucky. I had to practice a while before I could do -" She casts her three lights spell.

"I couldn't do that," he says, admiring them. "I can do a bit of color, and encourage the plants along, and my cooking's a bit better than it should be. And not just cooking," he says smugly.

Permalink

"Or tapping your foot, yes."

Permalink

"What are other kinds of magics can fairies have?"

Permalink

"I don't quite know how to answer the question," he confesses. "What would you do if...if someone asked you what kinds of music there were."

Permalink

"I could say what kinds of instruments. Or genres."

Permalink

"All of them?"

Permalink

"No, but I could do examples."
