Now that Sheppard seems very interested in what Elidibus has to say, the silver-haired man stirs in his seat. They're not too far away from each other, what with chair and couch, so he simply seems to be sitting up straighter.

"I'll understand if the concept is unfamiliar to you. My people are very proficient in magic. In addition we can manipulate aether, a rich energy abundant in all living stars, to will our desires into creation."

He offers this gently, quite aware of how it is probably something... alarming to the average person of this world. It wasn't even normal for mortals back home.

"Lest you misunderstand," Elidibus then adds as if this is going to make it better. "We possess a mere fraction of this birthright on Earth. Both by the limits of power we can draw from and our captors' shackles. But an arm, made with the concept of the technologies which have existed on our star, would be possible."

Especially now that it's a bit easier to openly use magic, thanks to the ADI's edict on generating fear from... well, bad people who apparently deserve it.

"So, magic."

It's just, that sounds like magic to him. But he's intrigued. And not even all that bothered. He's so used to feeding at this point, the necessary fear that needed to be generated doesn't bother him. It's fine.

"Wait, technologies? You use magic and technology?"

"Yes, to varying degree. While the form technology takes here on Earth is unusual, it was not entirely unfamiliar to me."

Elidibus won't trouble Sheppard with the details unless asked. Because they are complicated even when you don't throw in the curve ball of having lived through the rise and fall of ten to twelve thousand years of mortal civilization. Though he does seem to pause and perhaps compare the two briefly before speaking again.

"While there are many advantages to the blend of magic and technology not achieved or possible here, I would not claim it isn't to be admired nor particularly lacking. Circumstances aside, I have enjoyed having the opportunity to learn about it. But I digress."

Yes, back to the matter at hand before they go down a rabbit hole of comparing tech and magic and magitek.

"Regardless, there will be benefits. But also problems I must warn you of so you may make the choice cognizant of the price that will be paid."
