Isidor's explanation strikes a chord with Tamminy that's lost on the humans. She frames her face with her palms and grins at what she hears. "You're mages from birth! Genetically? Oh, my! That's incredibly interesting! My ex-wife was a professor of biology and her closest colleague was obsessed with discovering the potential genetic links that connect some people to the ley lines more strongly than others. Oh, if he could have been here he would have been pestering you two for a blood sample." She shrugs one shoulder and chuckles, shakes her head and gets back to the meal. She, at least, seems to have no interest in drawing any precious Durant blood. One hopes...
Meanwhile Matt smiles at Viatorus, interested in that little tidbit of information he's given. "They're new for us, too. We didn't have paladins on Azeroth until the Second War, which was right around when I was born. That's when the Silver Hand was first founded."
Lawrence, his mouth half-full of food, comments, "To fight the orcs and kill their death knights, right?"
Well, that quiets Matt right up. He looks down at his food immediately and resumes eating in total silence, blushing with embarrassment at his brother's blunt commentary.
Lawrence, however, continues speaking as casually as can be. He points his fork at Viatorus and says, "Harrowheart says you're a dream mage." Tamminy opens her mouth, and though Lawrence can't see her he must have expected it, because he raises his voice as he continues, "DOCTOR PHOTOVOLT SAYS dreams are just thoughts you have when you're asleep."
"They aaaare!" she strains. "Trust me, I know neurology! You can see neurons firing in sleep the same way they do during thought in wakefulness!"
"Oh?~" Lawrence asks, leaning back, locking eyes with Tamminy. "I can see it? 'Cause I've never seen it, Tamminy. Can you show me right now?"
Tamminy clenches her fists. "Lawrence! I'd need a magnetic resonance machine for that! You know I don't have one!"
Lawrence raises his eyebrows and tips his head. "So I can't see them, which means you're proofless. Annnnd since I'm a stupid human peasant who thinks everything is maaaagiiiic... I'm gonna trust the wizard on this one." He looks to The Wizard then and holds his robot hand palm-up as he waits for answers. "Is a dream just a thought you have when you're asleep, or what?"
Tamminy grits her teeth and watches Viatorus in desperation. You're killing her! You're all absolutely killing her.
