She stretches one hand out in front of her when he mentions her new magic, wiggling her fingers until they start glowing softly. It's a fun trick, even beyond what she's really supposed to do with it, and it feels safe. Everyone here is different in some way. Everyone has magic or a magic weapon or something about them that makes them unique and special and able to make a difference. It's okay to admit she has it, this ability to change something. Nobody will think differently of her or be afraid of her for being able to heal things.]
I hope so. It's different helping than I'm used to, but I'm getting better at it. [She turns enough to give him a lopsided smile.] A lot of people never want to help at all, or even want to make things worse to make themselves better, so if you want to help, then that's a good start.
