12th Spell

It's nice, everyone having magic, I suppose. When you're not used to it.

Though I do have to admit, it seems like we're only borrowing what's not ours. I know how magic feels and this doesn't belong to me.

We should probably find a way to give it back before it's too late.

No, I'm here presently, although I did live in a castle prior to my arrival here.

What year was it?

1997.

Oh.

... Yeah, I don't think we had tablets back then. But this is mine, see?

[She flicks on the video and holds up a shiny new iPad.]

It looks like some very powerful magic.

Not magic - technology.

Technology's another sort of magic if you really think about it.

It is?

Nah, I don't think so. 'Cause magic don't even exist in my world - not that kind.

You might think it doesn't. But that's probably what the witches and wizards in your world want you to think.

... Your kind of magic's not devil worship, right?

[Luna gives a bit of a frown]

Uh... that a yes or a no?

...If you're going to try burning me at the stake, I'd rather you didn't. It's a very rude thing to say to someone, you know.

I just asked a question, is all. I ain't gonna try anything.

Because I celebrate Christmas, same as you.

No, 'cause I don't really do that shit anymore.

... But if you celebrate Christmas, then you probably ain't a devil-worshipper anyway.

I'd prefer it if you didn't call me that. Thank you.

I wasn't. Said I thought you weren't one.

[Luna nods, but still looks concerned]

... What? Why're you looking at me like that? I didn't do nothing to you.

There's only one way I know how to look.

What way's that?

The way I'm looking now.

... You're fucking confusing to me, is what you are.

I get that a lot.
