Born with it? He wrinkles his nose at that. The implications of that are - well, fuck, if he thought there were class issues where he's from. If it's just a piece of a person's randomly selected genetic makeup, that's a whole new thing to segregate by, and he wouldn't be surprised. Not the sort of thing you just casually ask about, though.

"Man, that's something," he says, examining the knife curiously. "I've never heard of a sunlight focus." Then again, no one's ever heard of a trash focus either. And the way she's describing it, it sounds like she doesn't work with sunlight directly, rather it fuels her transmutation.

"I take energy from my f- affinity," he says, "and I can do, like, simple spells. But it's a lot more about the thing I work with. Like if you could use sunlight to fight."
