The moon looks nearly full. And the supernatural eccentricities seem to be back.

[She considers, thoughtfully- but ever blunt, is this particular Victorian spinster.]

Are the werewolves present without clavigers? If so, how is the "full moon inconvenience" handled?

[Wah.]

... magic isn't an eccentricity.

I have used it in the definition of "deviating from the norm".

[She could have been smoother, though.]

Though if you have ever met those of the supernatural inclination in my world, you would likely use the same term.

[... but there's a sneaking suggestion of a smile at the corners of her lips.]

[notamageiswear]

O-oh, I see...

Is it... really that bad, there? Are there a lot of people you would consider eccentric?

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

"Eccentric" is only a negative term when one is afraid of anything different from themselves.

[She does smile, now. Come on, Negi.]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

[... well, okay.]

You're not afraid, are you, Miss Tarabotti?

[She gives the matter serious consideration, if only for Negi's sake.]

I have been terribly distressed, thoroughly annoyed and felt insulted, but I do not recall ever being afraid of any individual of any supernatural sect.

Then why call them 'eccentricities' if you aren't afraid of them? Why not... 'minor inconveniences'?

[Aha, someone he can intelligently go back and forth with.]

I would not consider magic to be an inconvenience. Quite the opposite, I'd think?

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

W-well, no, magic most certainly isn't an inconvenience... I meant the things that do inconvenience you. Not everything is going to be a nuisance, but whenever something is...

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

But I had meant supernatural abilities in general, and thus, eccentricities. Various ones.

[ARE THEY HAVING A WORD USAGE DEBATE?]

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

... perhaps "exceptional faculties".

[I BELIEVE SO.]

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

That phrase seems perfectly appropriate.

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

That way, there are no hurt feelings when you call a person's abilities "eccentricities".

[Video]

[homo_exanimus]

It is considered a hurtful word?

[Video]

[notamageiswear]

... well, by your definition, it includes everyone. That means you would, indirectly, be calling Unohana-san eccentric because of her healing abilities, when she most certainly is not.

Only if you take "eccentric" to mean "odd", I would think.
