That does sound in line to how this eh... this blood business works. It blends so seamlessly with every sleeper, why would it not blend seamlessly with their magical structure and reserves. [he's back to hair twirls as he thinks about it all, one hand still hovering near the cup, tapping it in lazy spins through the air. still delightful.]
Of course it would be easier for us if it was more structured, but if anything was easy here I would not be a squid who still deals with back pain. [the audacity of that still genuinely annoys him. really, where is the justice in the world? at least let him reap some reward for his entire understanding of his reality as a pointy, fleshy human being turned on its head.
he watches the extra blood give the now wavering cup a boost to stay afloat, smiling at that. darkblood also smells much better he now sees, why his blood has to smell like milk in the moonlight he doesn't know. at least it isn't spoiled milk but it still is a little odd and off putting.]
I suppose that's the right term. Ah... in truth I haven't explored it much- it felt a little insulting when it first happened. I hardly need blood magic to fix a simple bunsen burner. [he's a touch sheepish to admit this- hey, everyone has their pride somewhere, right? he's far more intrigued by it now that he's let that go, and even more so now that he's finally exploring blood magic properly largely thanks to pal.]
That is my thought though- imagine if we can find a way to replicate magic empathy, a way to read the nuances of spellwork and blood magic itself. It would speed up the research process tenfold, no doubt. [magic is so tricky, having a better way of understanding it? an actual dream. dangerous in many ways, but he's always had more of a focus on the now than the 'what if' dangers.
that compliment makes his lips quirk, a touch pleased despite himself. what, it's nice to be recognized by someone you respect. he leans back a little to watch him rifle through, endeared by his enthusiasm. he never really thought he'd find someone he enjoyed collaborating with other than jayce, though to be fair his time at the academy was a classist mess so maybe his pool of possible collaborators was a bit skewed in the asshole variety.
or maybe pal's just unique, that is something he can easily believe. there's certainly a reason an entire planet decided he should be the 'warden,' or so he assumes. it's actually a little humbling to think of it that way, he really is working with what is likely one of the greater minds of that world.] Next time I am out I am finding us a notebook purely for our lists, and maybe some of those squid pictures you've drawn. They add character.
