[Vivio was gone, but to unobservant, it was as if nothing had happened to Nanoha. Everyone else had gone through far more trauma in the attack last Wednesday than she had. She quite literally was working to keep herself from faltering

*sitting across from Nanoha, reading the same page of a book over and over while the latter is filling out a form, both trying not to think about the mission's results; Nanoha turns a page*

You missed a field.

[magical_lyrical]

I did? Really? [She looks up the page--]

Oh, my, thank you.

[zomg_teh_rei]

Mm.

*awkward pause as Rei tries to think of a topic*

You've said before that your abilities come from a...Linker Core?

[magical_lyrical]

Think of them like magical organs.

[zomg_teh_rei]

*now genuinely curious*

Physical organs?

[magical_lyrical]

Only in the sense that magic phases with the physical world. It's not like a heart or a lung, but I'm not an alien, you know. I just have an especially strong linker core for a person from Earth.

You have a linker core too.

[zomg_teh_rei]

?...But I can't use magic.

[magical_lyrical]

Well, most people on Earth can't, I'm afraid, but we all still have linker cores.

[zomg_teh_rei]

So why is it that I can't and you can?

[magical_lyrical]

Some people have very, very strong linker cores, but on Earth, most people's linker cores don't have very much power.

[zomg_teh_rei]

Power...

*falls silent again as her thoughts drift to the Angels and the giant in Terminal Dogma, leading in turn to places she's trying not to think about*

[magical_lyrical]

Try not to think about it too much. Everyone has their different talents.

[zomg_teh_rei]

Yes.

*barely paying attention now as the question of the S2 organ's power output has struck her as relevant, even if the matter will almost certainly prove academic*
