[ Claire nods and rises even as she's listening to him, and grabs a small starter pot of dirt and a package of seeds. As she's returning, she replies. ]

I don't understand it, or even know quite when it happened. I agree with your theory, though, from what little I know and understand. The Singularity seems to be the one main thing no one seems to be able to tell me anything about.

[ Pushing seeds into the dirt, Claire sets the pot on the table between them, beside her teacup. ] I was outside working in the garden and put my hand down to balance myself as I reached for something. When I looked back, the seed had already sprouted. [ Pressing her fingertips to the soil, it takes about five seconds, but slowly a tiny bud emerges and two leaves pop out with a flourish. ] It stops there, but others seem to think with practice I might be able to do more.

[ She looks excited at the prospect and brushes her fingers off, finding herself yet again nodding to Claude's words. ]

I understand. It unfortunately took my seeing what those events can be to realize magic is an incredible tool. I didn't think it was something teachable, honestly.
