You don't even try to hide your admiration. "This is the most amazing use of magic I've ever seen."
Lianna's face breaks into a bright smile. "Isn't it? Oh, wow, hearing you say that is just the best. I hoped you'd like it! You'll have a great time talking to Josephine about her magic. She's never really been able to share that with anyone before. I'm sure she'll be able to teach you a lot."
Will she, you wonder? From what Lianna's said, Josephine's magic doesn't work anything like yours. But she's been practicing hers for almost a hundred years—she has to have learned a lot during that time.
And anyway, she's the only person older than you that you've ever heard of being able to do magic.
You and Alison and Carla and Caitlin and the rest—you've all just been making it up as you go along. What would it be like, being able to learn from someone with more experience?
While you try to wrap your mind around that thought, Lianna is still talking. "Do you want to go back to talk to Josephine?" Lianna asks. "You've probably got a lot of questions. Or you could talk to Felicity? Some people think she's easier to talk to." She sounds doubtful about that, but she gives you the option anyway.
