That was really quite kind of him, Dora thought. She rubbed her arms nervously as she smiled at him. She hadn't completely been expecting that.
"Thank you, I--" There was a pause there as she realised she wasn't quite sure what to say to his last statement. In her mind, there were rather firm divides between what was dark and what was light. There was very little grey area except for when it came to using the lesser of the spells for good, and even then she was hesitant.
But she supposed she could admit that this was something she needed for herself. If not simply for her survival in what she was planning, then to maybe finally satisfy her inner child's curiosity. To answer the questions left blank by only knowledge of theory.
"I suppose it wouldn't be much of a lie to say that was the truth." Dora ran a hand through her hair. "I'm rather curious, I guess. Don't... don't tell my mum that, mind you. I really don't think she likes to admit that I could ever be influenced by that side of the family. But yes... I need it."
