Claudia still didn't understand, and for some reason she couldn't stop thinking about it. It didn't make any sense to her why she felt so... flustered. I mean, it shouldn't be bothering her this much.

It wasn't even the first time she and Rayla had that kind of conversation. It wasn't like she didn't know how Rayla felt about her magic, but she didn't really understand why.

She sighed, not very focused on the conversation she, Callum and Ezran were currently having, "Hey, Claudia?"

"Hmm?" She didn't move, still deep in thought about it. That conversation with Rayla was still bothering her, which was inconvenient because she should be focusing on returning Zym with them, though it wasn't like they were leaving right now.

"I just realized I've never really asked, but uh, how come your hair has that..." Callum kind of gestured to what he was referring to.

"Oh, that." Claudia said, "Well, after I healed Soren I guess it was just kind of a big spell. I haven't had time to get rid of it yet."

"Wait, so when you do a lot of magic, your hair turns white?"

"Just some of it." She shrugged, "Why?"

Callum and Ezran looked kind of uncomfortable at discovering this. But it wasn't like it was even that bad, I mean, had they ever seen her dad after using a particularly strong spell?

"Well, I mean... It kind of seems like maybe you shouldn't be doing it." Ezran suggested.

"Did Rayla tell you that?" Claudia questioned, and then sighed, "I don't know what's so with my magic. I mean, without it, I wouldn't have been able to heal Soren. We might not have even been able to find you."

"Claudia." Ezran walked over to her, holding Zym. He placed the baby dragon in her arms, "Maybe if you look at Zym, it'll help you understand."

"Yeah, I mean," Callum added, "Just try and think of all the things you could use him for while looking into his eyes."

Zym did have... very big eyes that were very cute. She didn't really want to admit that she couldn't do that, so she let him go, "I'm not supposed to hold Zym."

"Then I'll hold him." Ezran picked up the baby dragon, holding him out towards Claudia and eventually she just ended up taking him and cuddling him, since when there are baby animals that are very cute and they are in your face, it is very difficult not to cuddle them.

Ezran sighed, "You and Rayla were really getting along, but now you're fighting about this."

Claudia briefly stopped cuddling the baby dragon to reply, "Well, she's the one who has a problem with my magic."

"She does." Callum said, "But uh... Claudia, why don't I try and teach you some primal magic later? You know, tell you about making a connection to a primal source, or something. So you could also use primal magic."

"Shouldn't we be working on returning Zym?"

"We have some time. We could go work on it right now if you wanted."

She didn't really want to, exactly. Well, she wanted to learn primal magic, but it kind of just seemed like they were trying some sort of different way to make her understand how they felt about her magic, or something.

But she did want to learn primal magic eventually, and maybe if she started learning primal magic, she and Rayla would stop fighting. And she didn't really feel like fighting.

Claudia relunctantly gave Zym back to Ezran, "I guess we could do that. I mean, it would be pretty cool to be able to do primal magic, too."

"So, uh." Callum attempted to start explaining, "To do primal magic you need to understand an arcanum. When I understood the meaning of the sky arcanum, I was able to use magic again."

"So, how do I do that?" Claudia asked.

"I'm not sure exactly. I can try and explain the sky arcanum to you." Callum suggested, "It's like... Like the primal stone, except we're inside it."

Callum started rambling about things that probably would have made more sense if she had the context for some of it, but she really didn't. It was a very similar explanation to the first she had heard about why he could use primal magic again.

Although he explained, it didn't entirely make sense. It made some sense, but honestly if she was going to learn any primal source, would it even be the sky?

Maybe she'd understand a different one better, or maybe she'd understand none of them.

"Maybe the sky arcanum isn't really your thing..." Callum sighed, "I want to be able to explain the other ones, but this is the only one I know."

"Huh." Claudia said, "Maybe we can figure them out together. At least one of them."

"Yeah. Maybe..." Callum smiled, "I can tell you a little bit about what Lujanne told me about the moon arcanum, in the meantime, and then we could look into the meanings of the other primal sources."

She smiled, "Sounds good. Which one do you want to try and learn next?"

"I don't know. I haven't really decided on which one to learn next." Callum replied, "But I think all of them. But I mean, that's crazy, right?"

"No. You should learn all of them." Claudia agreed, enthusastically, "Like you could learn how to use the ocean magic, or maybe even star magic. You could learn all of it. Just imagine how much you could do."

Claudia was a little surprised she was getting so excited about this, since she knew Callum mostly just suggested it so she wouldn't have to use her magic, probably because she and Rayla were still fighting.

But it was starting to sound more and more interesting. Claudia did like learning magic, after all, even if she did prefer 'her kind of magic'.

"Probably a lot." Callum commented, "I'm just glad I can use sky magic again. But it would be pretty cool to learn other types of magic."

"Exactly."

Callum then changed the topic to the previous one, "So, the moon arcanum..."

A/N: so uh, what would claudia's primal source be? because I'm not really sure about that yet.
