But he can't just stay silent, either. He looks down at his feet, lost in thought for a moment, before he lifts his head a bit to speak.]

I think... you have to be afraid of your powers a little to really fight well with them. Well... maybe afraid's not the right word. Cautious? Wary? Like, my strength. I know I could hurt people really badly with it. I have. But I worked through it, and I tried to figure out a way to use it without hurting anybody. I'm always... aware of it, I guess.

And I know magic's different from physical strength. I know that. But... I don't know, I guess I'm just trying to say... [He rubs the back of his neck; he was never the one who was good with words.] I think what we need to work on is letting that fear turn into a... an awareness. An awareness, and desire again. And maybe there's a book on that somewhere?
