[nerdeology]

That's a misleading question. If you can manipulate memories, how would I even know?

[He was prepared to let it go for the moment, but you really want to keep talking about this, buddy?]

[stefanged]

[There's a flash of something - betrayal, maybe? - but Stefan started it, so he's gotta finish it.]

Because I'd never do that to you. [He finishes a scoop and gives more acorns for yet another. Accidental food coma, here he comes.] Even if you end up hating me over this, it's because you chose to feel that.

[nerdeology]

[Mikleo's brow lifts a little at that, though he doesn't comment. What sort of response did he expect, exactly?]

A strict moral code, then? Friends and allies are off-limits, but the general populace is not?

[stefanged]

Mm, usually they're off-limits too.

It's more... self-protection. Let's say we were back in Mystic Falls. If I was talking to you long enough, someone would've called the police on me, and I would've been sent to the hospital by now. [a small sigh] Compulsion lets me avoid that.

[nerdeology]

[???]

Why would you be sent to a hospital for talking to yourself? Is that signs of a sickness where you're from?

[What the heck are those humans thinking, exactly?]

[stefanged]

It can be. [He pauses. Mikleo probably doesn't need a scientific rundown of schizophrenia.] By itself, it doesn't mean much.

But if it goes on long enough? Even I'd be concerned. People don't usually hold full-length conversations with the wind.

[nerdeology]

I see...

[Well, he does and he doesn't. It sounds like a complicated world, certainly.]

Still, if you need a quick escape from the public eye, I'm not sure I can approve of that particular method. I have an arte that can temporarily make you invisible as well, if it's necessary.

[stefanged]

I'm starting to think you have an arte for everything.

[Stefan's relief is as clear as day. Invisibility... Now there's a power that would've been infinitely more useful.]

Thank you. I'd appreciate that, should that ever be a problem.

[nerdeology]

[Pfft. He wishes.]

Only if it's water-related. If manipulated properly, water can be used for mirrors, illusions- handy when you need to conceal yourself.

[stefanged]

I could see that. [Already, he's thinking of how much more useful that could've been...]

Or... well, I guess I couldn't, if invisibility's the name of the game.

[nerdeology]

[Ha ha, very funny.]

It would be convenient if there was an effective way to make ourselves more visible, in the long run, but this has gotten us out of trouble a few times.

[stefanged]

Hm. If you can make yourself invisible, you'd think that the reverse would apply...

[He's gonna mull on that for a while. Stefan's been wondering if resonance is epigenetic (ie, if it's based on environmental factors AND genetics), but it's hard to tell when he doesn't even know the scientific progress in Mikleo's world.]

If you and Sorey could lend me a DNA sample, I might be able to look into it.

[nerdeology]

...DNA?

[What are these random letters thrown together, you strange modern man.]

[stefanged]

DNA's the genetic "code" in our body that tells us how we're made. [He gestures towards his hair, loosely playing with some strands.] Think of it like... like your body's instruction manual.

It tells your body how tall you're gonna be, what color your hair is, or even how often your fingernails grow back. Every being's got it, from humans to seraphim to probably even those elves and ponies.

[nerdeology]

[.......that sounds fake but okay]

Seraphim are made of mana, Stefan. I don't think it works like that.

[stefanged]

[He shrugs, since Mikleo has a point there.]

Maybe not, but there's no way to tell unless I try.

[nerdeology]

[Have a shrug back.]

Well, I won't stop you. Just don't go into it with high expectations.

[How long does DNA testing take? Will the mana dissolve like usual before it's properly studied? Who even knows.]
