What are you doing? [curious Rory is curious]

Back-up copy. ...why?

[shrugs] Just wondering. What is the book?

It's a magic book. First edition.

[Rory grins, it get broader by the second] A magic book? For real and true?

Yep. Should be in a museum somewhere but, I got spoiled.

Figure if I set my house on fire, I should have a backup somewhere...

Can you do magic?

Yep. Not all of it, but some stuff, yeah.

Really? Wow, I never met anyone that could do real magic. What sorts of things?

Just the easy stuff... talk to death things, make zombies if I have corpse, the usual.

Not so common where you're from?

There are plenty of stories, everyone loves to tell them in Ireland, but no one really believes that anyone can do magic, not anymore at least, not for many centuries now. Magic belongs to Harry Potter novels and the such.

Why...would you want to traffic with the dead?

Because it's fun, that's why.

I can't imagine how, honestly.

Do you play chess? Or listen to Classical music?

Both.

Explain how it's fun to someone who doesn't.

Um...alright, I guess you make your point.
