[At first, the wrong camera turns on, showing the book Katherine has laid out on the table, pages bathed in sunlight from a nearby window. It's nonfiction - biology, in fact, and its target audience likely in the young teens crowd. The open page displays a labeled diagram of a strand of DNA and a Punnett square with an explanation in small print, courtesy of a cartoonish character sitting on its corner, clearly drawn by an adult attempting to appeal to a younger crowd they only superficially understand. The normal-sized text at its side explains hereditary traits, with a side of how DNA determines everything about a person's appearance. It's helpfully colloquial.]
Well, I can't say I completely understand all of this, but- oh, wait, I've got it the wrong way, haven't I?
[She switches to the front camera to show her face instead, bags under her eyes indicating a rather long self-imposed study session. She raises a mug of something no longer hot enough to require one to her lips and sets it down offscreen with a gentle thunk. The window beside her reveals the skybridges, flying cars, and gleaming metal towers of Tomorrow, from several stories up.]
There we are! Now, as I was saying, am I right in guessing this means the...the essence of who we are is in...all of us? Does that mean spells that require a bit of, say, hair, from the caster have worked on the same principles as blood magic all along?

Maybe that's why the blood stuff renews itself?
[Trip, you're not helping your case from before (okay, but he wasn't involved in that stuff at the time).]
no subject
That's a dangerous school to study.
[There is always some benefit to learning about these things, at least. The more you know about how it works, the easier it is to counter it. It's one of the reasons she's looking into this avenue in pursuit of something greater at all.]
Hair renews itself too, besides.
[And there are distinct non-blood magic spells that perpetuate themselves, as well, but she hasn't had enough sleep to be eloquent enough for more than one or two ideas at a time.]
[he just went from "I hate how she keeps misunderstanding me" to "let's mislead her for fun"]
[Is it possible to hear a wink because if anything was meant to be paired with a wink, those words certainly were.]
