"So you just- turn those on and off at will?"

"Requires a touch of magic."

"Seems like everything does."

"Everything fun. And you've got more than a touch, I'll bet."

"I hope so. It'd be kind of sad if I only get basically just party tricks."

"Well... Even if your innate magic is just supernatural traits - basically those are innate magic abilities you can't get better at - you can always learn something else."

"Is there- a test or something, that would let me tell?"

"Attempting to learn new spells - also supernatural traits are usually either pretty plain, or are spell-like abilities with pretty strict limits a day, so I can probably guesstimate just from seeing what you can do."

"Cool, okay."

"We can work on that once we're in flight - I've got a few repairs to do still, but I can explain things while I do that."

"Is there anything I can help with?"

"Handing me tools? There's also some basic stuff you should be able to do... You can probably get gunk out of machinery with your magic just fine, that's one of the tiny tricks."

"Just point me in the right direction, then."

"We'll make it part of the lesson."

"Sure."

Into the ship, then? "Do you need to rest at all first?"

"No, I'm good to go."

"Awesome."

The inside of the ship continues the paper-and-wood theme, though with smaller, irregular panels of paper - and many of them contain artwork. Sketches, paintings, layers of cut paper (often clustered in stretches with more wood than paper), abstract marble-dyed papers - and many panels instead contain cloths at varying levels of sheerness, with complex weavings or embroidery. The wood is mostly plain, though there's carved sections in areas where it's heavier and around doorways.

Most of the scenes are pretty fantastical: strange objects suspended in space - an enormous tree with roots craddling a blue sphere; more ordinary still lifes and architectural sketches; stranger spaceships - one with tendrils like a jellyfish and one apparently made of spun glass, what are probably planets; an amazing assortment of humanoids sketched going about their lives - a woman with wings like a tropical bird, wearing a skimpy dress with light swirling around her hands, a group of small green woman posing with spears and laughing, a naked man with purple skin and large sweeping antlers and a spade tail playing a guitar; botanical sketches; animals like and unlike any Ellie has seen - dragons, great cats, monsters with far too many eyes, a winged horse...

"This is- amazing."

"Awww, thanks!"

"Did you do the decorations yourself?"

"Pretty much yeah - some of the panels are gifts or souvenirs."

"You're very artistic."

"With an eye for beauty."

"A keen one."
