"Hooray!"

"Where's the rest of statistical anomaly table, by the way?"

"Later risers."

"Makes sense."

"Anna isn't, actually, but she's probably on her morning run."

"Morning run? That actually sounds like a cool idea."

"Anna's a martial artist! She takes her fitness very seriously."

"I think I cheat at that."

"I think if you said that to her she'd say something about a martial artist's integrity and be secretly jealous."

"Secretly?"

"Well, she'd be really good at hiding it."

"Well I quite like being a biokineticist."

"Presumably that's why you're doing it!"

"It could be the other way around!"

"Oh?"

"Maybe I only like it because it's what's easiest for me."

"Nah, if you were a path of least resistance kinda person you wouldn't be dating my sister."

"...I like her," he tells Edie.

"Convenient."

"Although to be fair there was some personal affinity, there, I did the gender thing even before getting magic."

Nod. "I'm glad you got what you did."

"I wish there was a faster way to go on the healing thing for me, though, I can't seem to crack it without cracking it on myself first."

Shrug. "Magic."

"Magic," he agrees.

"Can't live without it, can't get it to make any fucking sense."
