[Chilling as he gets spun around, because he is now A Normal Child.]
Jake speculated that there might be a difference between magic that uses energy and magic that creates energy. In that frame, the bones could be a source while whatever magic we have from our worlds could be a use-of thing.
Yes, that's certainly something I'd like to know too. Honestly, I'd just like to see if we can get her to talk to us. She may not tell the truth, but then at least we'd have some idea of what she's like.
[He agrees absolutely, the slightest inclination suggesting a nod.]

[And he is willing to Get as Gud as he must. They have a job (apparently) and contacting her is part of it. So he'll take it in hand, and others won't have to.]

If you could get an answer to one question from Qri, what would you ask?
