Okay, wow, Jeff pins Thackery with a look of pure scandal and offense, as if to say: Hey, I resemble that remark!
It's not that he isn't used to people talking shit about magic. That's all par for the course back home, at least in certain circles of Blanks. But at least back home, he had his people. There was a sense of family and community with the other Gifted youths drifting around LA.
And now he's alone, and the Gift's on some totally different frequency he can't tune in to, no matter how hard he tries, and even Ziggy's disappeared, and Jeff's so terrifyingly, overwhelmingly lonely and empty inside, and--
Jeff hugs the box to his chest as they get to walking, his gaze turned gloomy. Maybe he's feeling a little extra sensitive right now. He's certainly too wrapped up in his hurt feelings to even pay attention to the shady characters lurking ahead, watching the two of them.
"Magic isn't bad." Not even here, no matter what they say. He refuses to believe it. "You're magic, aren't you?"
