[Yes, good, there we go. The topic has shifted back to something safe and familiar, something she could talk about at length in her sleep. (Little does she know she actually does talk in her sleep. It's not as though she's ever been awake to hear it.)

Speakers dress their girls to look like boys, to protect them as they travel. I learned from this practice and do something similar with my magic. People see what they wish to see, and what they expect to. So I practice magic, and I also practice tricks.
