Is "that I understand myself even less than they do" a sufficient answer. For all that it is the truth.
... It's... not really about me, necessarily. But I find that they struggle with the concept of chaos. They think everything that happens to them is part of some grander plan of mine, and not just turns of fate and chance that I'm rarely even particularly involved in. They would have far fewer opportunities to be annoying if they could understand that much.
Hm. Because of the memory loss? Or because you've never really had a chance...
I admit I thought you were deliberately messing with me, when my weapon turned out to be a singing fish. But I'm also a little... [taps the side of her head.]
[just flops back on the floor] As much as I refuse to believe in the concept, I have terrible luck. After awhile, it does all start feeling personal. And that's all you can see anymore.
Guess I don't know how to do that, make my own. But. I think it's starting to. Get better. Because even when luck isn't on my side, I have people who are.
... Oh, and I can fly now. Some. [brightens up, because she'd given up on thinking it was possible.] Been getting the hang of it.
... Yeah, sure. [stands up a bit wobbly. not hurt anymore, just leg gone a bit numb from sitting on it, shakes it out.] Figured out that I can only really manage it when I'm not worrying about everything.
What? No, I don't think there's any fairy glitter involved... [lifts a few inches off the ground, thinking that he likes her~ and that it's sad that he doesn't know wha- oops, her toes touch the ground again.] ... Dangit.
Yeah, I squished Steven and he kept yelling about something called Totoro. I don't know how we're from the same world. [should she try again or is that embarrassing...? no she can't give into those sorts of thoughts.
deep breath, stares down at the squishmallow very intently!]
Ah, that's true. [forming a very cute mental picture in her mind of him marchwaddling along.] What's his name? Or is it too Norwegian to pronounce? [she's pretty sure that's one of the languages where the letters look keyboard smashed.]
Mmn, I figured out it's not really a function of the rest of my abili- shh, science. [smiles, clearly teasing. has absolutely no physics explanation for how this works.] Is it? I thought plenty of people could fly.
... [considers. storybooks, huh. a lazy little twirl.] Neat.
So I didn't steal it off anyone? Because that's what [pause, wrinkles her nose] the slaver told me she did. Caught powers off another passenger. Is that common? Am I going to become infectious? [asking because she doesn't want her shittyass quantum condition rubbing off on anyone. like Fio or Peter or... what the fuck would it do to Max? glitch him out beyond function?
Sometimes, magic can be a bit of a... [waves hand vaguely] folie à deux situation. I wouldn't worry about it.
[a particularly unkind smile] And I wouldn't give much attention to what that one says. Many who arrive here come to the completely incorrect conclusion that this reality follows the rules of their own, but it's rare to find one so aggressively obstinate about being wrong.
I certainly trust you more than I do her. [so will try to take 'infecting others' off her list of things to worry about, comes up with new ones by the hour anyway.]
Probably better that she remains uncorrected. [enjoys letting people be wrong rather than providing them with more information to further their agendas. mostly didn't like her mentioning Maximilien as a thing to factor in or figure out.]
