Fen:Aw thanks!

@Kohaku:Well first of all you need to accept that Magic is a study of something currently outside of your understanding of the world.

-she holds out her hand and from it rise green wisps that start to circle around each other until they form a ball of swirling light-

What you're seeing is a manifestation of....life, soul power, mana, its got many names and comes in many forms but most of them are essentially the same the difference being how pure they are. This is the very building blocks of reality as we know. Its what allows you to simply "be" here, it is what sparked intelligence in the first sentient beings, it is what makes you down to your atoms. It is an energy, it is power.

And it can be manipulated.

-said ball ignites into a ball of fire-

The study, and application of this is what you would call. Magic.

Kohaku: ...

-She gives a slightly downcast sigh-

...You know what, Kayla?

...I think that I've realized it's irrelevant whether or not either of us debate whether magical study is a science founded on sound principle. As people have demonstrated to me repeatedly, it just doesn't matter if a skeptic like me could comprehend behind the concepts of magic. I'd never understand magic in any capacity because I can't use it or form it like you guys can. Ever. It's outside my understanding how reality works.

I can't "do" magic. I've tried employing doing it how my wife said to, and it doesn't work. I've tried doing it the other ways demonstrated by my friends, and it doesn't work either. I guess if magic is an underlying manifestation of how the world works...then I suppose I'm just just fundamentally broken if I have no connection whatsoever to this foundation of the world or whatever.

While I would honestly like to inquire more as to your understanding of the workings of this magic, given you are very long lived and learned on this subject, and you've given me the first concise explanation of its basis...I'm sorry I just wasted your time and everyone else's with this minor intellectual debate, since the answers were decided before I even came to them.

-She stands up and stretches-

...If you'll excuse me, I'm going to see if I can catch one of these little guys. Thank you for humoring me here.

-She grabs a fishing pole and sits at the edge of the beach, staring out into the ocean-

-Kohaku quietly fishes for quite a while...judging by the fact she doesn't seem to notice there's a magikarp that is bouncing on her head now, it's safe to say she's either being melancholy...or pouting-

Ges: (@Fen) it's pretty sad when this happens, reminds me of the other place a bit...cept with less explosions.

-Characters are arounds-

-Kohaku is still sitting there fishing, presumably now because she's enjoying it to a degree. Seems she's got a lot of water pokemon sitting around now-

Kohaku: I'm alright. Just getting some experience with this fishing stuff.

It's kind of fun once you get the hang of it, actually.

I don't have very good experiences with fishermen, unfortunately. When I go out for a swim, sometimes I accidentally crash into their boats.... >.<

Kohaku: And no outfits you own have naturally outfitted headlights, huh? I can definitely see how much of a pain that is.

Kohaku: Yeah. I'd thought of the concept when I was younger, but I had a lot of trouble trying to make the headlights fashionable in addition to being accessible for jotun people.
