Yeah that seems to be about the same.

"That's a mystery solved then."

Nod. "Spring babies Amentans want seasons?"

"...I'm not sure what you mean... ah, if we move somewhere without seasons, it feels like spring all the time. Sort of a biological safety so that if season-detection goes offline for some reason we can still reproduce."

"Huh."

"It's not popular. Even without population controls most people would like a break from spring."

"I like spring. But not distract."

"Oh, people like flowers and so on, the psychological effects are the issue."

Nod nod. "Understand season detection?"

"We think it's to do with the angle and distance of the sun; spending a lot of time underground can mess it up even if the length of days changes correctly."

"Not know magic do seasons; probably magic do season detection."

"I'm not sure what you mean."

"...Magic do body think not spring?"

"Oh, you could do it as a medical intervention? But it only really scales if it can affect millions."

Shrug.

"...can it?"

"Don't know."

"What would you need to do to find out?"

"...Not know words."

"Can you do illusions...?"

She considers.

"Two magic. One, Odette big magic. Two, Amentans know magic."

"...one option is to wait until you can do much bigger magic than you can now, another is to teach Amentans magic?"

Nod. "Teach Amentans magic, understand Amentans, know magic Amentans not dangerous."

"Well, what would you like to know about Amentans?"

"...Need understand how Amentans different aliens, you not know aliens."
