Ah. Sorry, I must have missed you. Meditation tends to dull my senses to the physical world.

-Lyne notes the prosthetics, but as a doctor, tries to avoid staring out of politeness-

I’m Lyne, esteemed Doctor and Vastayan leader of the Sagi village. I am most assuredly not a rabbit.

Sayaka: Nice to meet you Dr. Lyne. I'm Sayaka, Magical Girl of Mitakihara. I am...most assuredly not a fish. (clearly moved into "I am not sure this is wise" territory on her face)

It's, uh... it's called Z-Power. Either stands for "zenith" or the Johto word for "full power", depending on who you ask. But... yeah.

Sporadic, gotta do an errand

-Lyne stays stonefaced. Did he take that joke in jest or take offense? The world may never know-

Anyways, Vastayan or human, I do not really care. Can you suitably live outside of the water for long?

Sayaka: Oh, yeah, that's actually my normal - I used to be a normal human. Though my tail dries out pretty fast if I don't keep it hydrated. (looks behind her to look at it for a moment)

Curious. There’s such things as marine Vastaya where I come from, but I’m much too far isolated to observe them up close.

Though, you are human... Perhaps you ran afoul of a curse?

We Vastaya are products of magic, created long before humans walked the lands.

We control the magic that flows through our world, though humans think they can grab control of things they cannot possibly contain.

I can't lie about feeling disdain towards my world's humans, but I'll hold out hope for the humans from other, more innocent worlds.

Some tend to capture Vastayan mana crystals in an attempt to use their power to catch magic themselves.

Some, lesser folk outright capture Vastaya and drain their essence.

It is why my people of the Sagi village are isolationist nomads.

I do not know much about Vastayan/Human relations outside of our island outside of what I can gleam from tomes in my spare time, though.

-Lyne shake his head-

But I shouldn't have to dump my world's woes on a child outside of my world. My apologies.

Sayaka: Nah, it's OK - if it's like that, your being reserved makes sense. And sometimes, we need someone to help us let go of our troubles - otherwise it just builds up and...makes things worse. (small tail flick)

Thank you, Miss Sayaka. This world is a nice break from the troubles my world throws at us. Though, today has been... hard.

It's my eldest son's birthday, after all.

I buy presents for them all for each of their birthdays. At this rate it's going to be quite a haul when I return home.

-Lyne's perma-pout breaks into a faint smile that fades away quickly-

As of right now, my duties are to tend to the people of Ionia for the foreseeable future. Until Ionia falls, I must see to their health.

-Lyne blows some hot air out of his nose. She doesn't need to know all the details.-

... Basically.

Say, for someone that does not know of the Vastaya, you clearly come from a world where magic is abundant. Where exactly does your magic come from?

Sayaka: Mine? Well...in my world, magic isn't supposed to exist. It does, but it's secret from society at large.


Homura: So what can it do?

I see. Perhaps it’s wiser that way. Keeps power hungry people from seeking it for themselves.

Well... a lot of things. But I don't actually use it myself. I just channel it to my Pokémon for them to use... you know what I mean?

Sayaka: Not...really. See, there's magic-based threats that can spread despair in people, and only girls have a chance at fighting them to protect people. We make contracts to become Magical Girls and gain powers to do so, in exchange for a wish - a miracle.

Homura: I see. How do they utilize it, then?

...

Huh. That’s an interesting take on magic.

I don’t think of magic as simple wish making or something you can just sign a contract magical powers. But, this is another world, after all.

I wonder if my own magic spreads despair or grants miracles...
