So they slot her in to cover low-staffed times and send her on her way.

And since it's pretty early, her way is still the library. Has anyone written anything about general healing vs. general biokinesis?
Sure; it's mostly personal accounts by mages and some historical stuff. Can't actually write a textbook on it.

Yeah, she expected that. She'd still like to know more about it, see if people agree on anything or if that like everything else is completely arbitrary.
It's not completely arbitrary...
...but it's close.

Sigh. Naturally.
Well, what do they have in common? What's the range of options?

Biokinesis can yield healing but it can be easy to fuck up if you try to apply a very general biokinetic skill to a specific application you're unfamiliar with. Healing can yield biokinesis, but it can be hard to generalize if you're coming from that direction - healing is really unlike turning your skin weird colors or something. It is generally advised to think of the specific use cases and work on those individually and only branch out in a new direction on a live subject (other than yourself; practicing on yourself is usually pretty safe for unclear magical-self-protection reasons) in an emergency where failure does not make things substantially worse than they already were.

Yeah, ugh. Good thing she'll be immortal and have a lot of time to learn new things. Oh well. Still interesting to read about other people's experiences like that. She'll check a couple of those books out anyway and read them in her free time.
She should probably go eat.

Isabella has either already had dinner or hasn't gone yet. She's not there.
Jackson shows up a little after Sadde does and avoids her eyes.

Sadde doesn't avoid his, though. Is he close enough that she can call him without bothering half the cafeteria?
Yep, there he is getting grilled cheese.
"Um? Yeah?"
Shuffle. Shrug. He takes a spoonful of peas.

She doesn't really pay attention to what she's taking. "I don't mind sitting with you. Isabella does, though, and I can divide my time between you two, but."
"I don't need a lot of really fine detail on exactly the way in which I'm nobody's first choice."

"That's not what I'm saying at all. There will totally be times when I'll sit with you instead of with Isabella, just, it would be nicer if you didn't play-act at a relationship with someone that doesn't want to."
He takes an orange wedge and plunks down in a chair. "You don't get it, nobody gets it."
Jackson eats, looking miserable.
"Sure you are."
"Yeah, so, next time, what different thing you won't have to be sorry about are you gonna do instead?" mutters Jackson.
