Ryan smiled. "Honestly, I didn't really want to come. It would be nice to have a one-up on all us suckers, though, huh?"

"Not as much as you'd think. When you're known to be good, people's expectations get pretty high." Natalia said. "Why did you study magic if you didn't want to?"

"My mom wanted me to," Ryan said. "She wanted me to learn to be a great mage so I could make something of myself or whatever." He tried to make it sound like a joke, but it fell just a bit flat.

"Ugh, parental pressure. Don't I know what that's like." Natalia agreed. "Least you're out soon though, right?"

"Not for a couple years yet," Ryan said. "It's not so bad, though. I didn't want to be here, but it's useful to learn, and pretty cool."

"That's too bad. Still, you'll be able to do some cool stuff when you get out. I've thought about maybe trying my hand at a second branch of magic. Maybe one that requires less use of it."

"Less use of it?" Ryan asked, confused.

Natalia gave a dry smile. "Of my hand." She held up her left hand and waved the small stump that was left of the other. "You didn't notice?"

"Oh," Ryan said. "I knew I just." He frowned. "It didn't really occur to me that your magic might be harder because of it, I guess. It makes sense, though."

"Not all types would be, but Magnetism is very much reliant on hand movements. Well, at least my style was."

"That makes sense. Too bad then," Ryan said. "Hopefully you'll pick it up again."

"I'm still working on it, of course, but I'll probably never be as good as I used to be." Natalia shrugged. "It's whatever. But it'd be cool to learn a second branch I might not be as limited with one day."

"Yeah, I can see that," Ryan agreed. "Knowing more magic can't hurt, right? And starting without your arm would mean you don't have to unlearn how to do things with two."

"Yeah exactly." She nodded."Maybe one day. Gotta finish my Magnetism training first."

"You don't seem to talk to people much," Ryan ventured.
