[ Magic is much more complicated and weirder in her world. Things people consider magic here aren't magic there, but there is magic, and only like 6 people max have it at any given time, and Emerald has definitely killed people over it- even if she never got it herself. It's an odd situation, and her feelings about magic are rather confused in general back home. This world is simpler. It seems like Set's is oddly simpler in some ways, too. It's too bad this conversation is about something else, she has things she'd like to ask about it. Emerald has always had an interest in different cultures- in people. She had a lot of anger toward people, but the truth is, she wanted to learn more. She existed on the outside of cultures, so they really were all something new to learn about. ]

[ She folds her hands in front of her, fidgeting a little. ]

If we both keeping practicing magic here, maybe we are going to make a difference. Maybe being proud of us is a stretch but... maybe it's enough to make sure their efforts weren't in vain.
