[ She nods. He touches on something she'd been considering too but, as she is wont to do, she hasn't voiced many of her thoughts on the matter.
It would be something she may bring up to Y'shtola or Urianger were they present, both being highly skilled and knowledgeable in aetherology. Despite her prowess for the art, Himeka doesn't feel like an authority on discussing it. Even now her spells are cast mostly through her own practiced techniques that formal teachings. Powerful, but unrefined. ]
It's different.
[ But Estinien is a friend--a trusted one. She knows that he wouldn't be searching for the dissertation Alphinaud might deliver. That is one way they are alike--creatures of instinct.
Himeka lifts her own hand, calling fourth four balls of gentle light. ]
If I were to do this as I would back on our world, I would be...you know, shifting the alignment of the wind-aspected aether around us into something I could ignite or compress it enough for it to burst and create light, but--this...
[ Himeka bids them to glow brighter and they simply do. ]
[He hums in agreement. It's something he struggles to put words to, also. He can sense the presence of it, too, like he can with aether... but it's different, even if it functions the game.]
Aye. I can interact with aether as I normally would, but... there's a difference to it. It does not deign to function according to the laws of our world.
[He sighs, leaning back.]
'Tis... more permissive, in a way. I suppose this should be no surprise, given how different each land connected to this place seems to be.

You did better than last time. See, you didn't even lose the fire!
[ She's helping. He can't be mad about that. ]

'Twas a perfectly good turnip.

It's still just fine, don't look so sour.
[ She picks it up and lazily dusts it off as she turns to the large wooden table, setting it down. ]
Anyway, it's clear you've been practicing.
no subject
...Aye.
[He says it tentatively, appraising his work as it flickers and dancers with between his fingers.]
I find it... easier here, to wield these magicks with a lighter touch. Nidhogg's strength is not want to be released gently.
[But there are benefits to being able to release his magic more carefully. It seems different, somehow, than administering aether had been.]

It really does give some, um...weight to the idea that this might be a hub of sorts, right?
[ Himeka turns her attention back to creating her soup stock. ]
At least it's something we can probably use to our advantage. The more tricks we have the better.
