Your magic does nothing for me. I just find it fascinating the way your emotions and words fuel it. We do not have magic like that amongst my people, so I am studying it.

[He shrugs] But I know what I say will not change your mind. I have had quite some time to notice that stubborn streak in you. Your opinion of me will never change.
