Eh... something like that. [ there's a wistfulness behind flat's smile all of the sudden, as if the light had dimmed just a little. it's not disappointment on his expression, but something a little more complicated. loneliness, maybe. ] Well, I'm not good at explaining things to others, so I'll compromise and give you half points for it.
[ there is no one that flat knows who can see the way that he does. hell, he's not even sure that he could explain to varian what he sees... though he could perhaps explain what he doesn't. the world is less vibrant, visually, though any missing shine from the visual input is more than made up by the vibrancy that come from the connections that he has made.
the light in his smile returns to its usual brightness when varian continues asking question, however. flat cups his chin with his fingers, humming in thought. ]
Here I can't do much, so far. Just heal, and that's thanks to the potion you get at the beginning. [ he shrugs! ] But in my world, I'm something that's known as a mage. And we're able to do something that's called magecraft! It's super hard to explain, but think of it like... I don't know, kinda like a few levels below magic, and related to science but not exactly what you'd learn if you went to an average university. Yeah! It's kind of like to the left of science and very few people know about it. Very few people should know about it.
[ he pauses, and then adds, as if to clarify himself. ]
Oh, but it's alright if people know here. I'm pretty sure this has a different foundation and rules, so it probably doesn't matter what I say. I specialize in something we call Chaos Magecraft! Which is... [ is... ] ...kind of really hard to explain... I guess, it's kind of like if you had this machine that you could take apart and re-arrange a bunch, and then each rearrangement had a different function.

[ good luck deciphering that one, varian! ]
