Owl acknowledges that this is the sort of called shot which someone might make based on the evidence that they've seen. However, she's not chancing Seren's arm on it.

She'll try throwing rocks at Seren's outstretched arm to see if the disk has a maximum force it can withstand which is less than the maximum force which Seren's bones can withstand (and she's also throwing the rocks in such a way that she would be surprised to see them to hit Seren's arm even if the shield broke; Owl's a pretty deft aim with thrown objects.)

What are they doing in the ten minute waits between attempts?

The shield blocks the first thrown rock.

"During the night I was doing some writing when my lamp went out. I can see in the dark; however, I can't see color. Because I was running over some notes with some different colored ink I just thought about how I wished I had some light. Then I felt a familiar sensation, similar to how I felt before healing the child, and I activated another power."

She taps one of the rocks Owl has in supply and all of a sudden it begins to shine light.

How much light are we talking here?

Akin to bright white truck LED's, or sunrise on Earth.

"Is this one of your limited powers, or one of your unlimited ones?"

"One of the unlimited ones. I experimented a bit and found I can have up to 4 of them out at a time. I can also change the color."

"Do you have uses in mind for all four, or would you mind if I carried a few of them?"

"Oh, um. You can have one. I can choose which one to get rid of when making a new one. Also I can attach it to your person so you don't need to keep a rock on you. It'll like, float over your head. I noticed that after I fell asleep all of them disappeared though, so you'd only have until tonight. What color would you like?"

"Can - " can you attach it inside my body or inside my mouth, Owl does not say, because that seems like something which might kill her.

Hmm.

Owl can't actually see infrared or, like, microwaves, and they don't interact with her battery at all. If these things were giving off harmful radiation she'd have no way of knowing.

"Can?"

You know, considering how dim the light is all day, you might naively expect the people of Chartara to be by and large as pale as she is.

Are they?

Nope

She is going to die of so much cancer, isn't she.

"It's nothing."

She wants to ask Seren to turn off the lights but that'd be such a Conversation.

"Umm, alright?"

She'll reach out and tag Owl with a blue light. It floats a bit above her head.

She didn't mention that she changed her mind about the lights.

"I changed my mind! Please take it back!"

"Wha- alright!?!"

Seren will kill the lights

Thank you!

"am I allowed to ask about the light thing?"

She has somehow mishandled this social interaction so phenomenally that people are asking whether they're allowed to ask her about things.

She kind of wants to say "no"; being able to refuse people permission to ask her questions is a heady sort of power.

"Fire away."

"so what was up with the light thing?"

"You're going to have to be more specific."

"You seemed so happy at first, and then you went quiet, and then you freaked out..."
