I'm sorry you were sick. Are you doing better, now?
( Physical difficulty isn't something she's experienced personally. Empathy and concern for others, though, she has in spades. Right now the most difficult thing she has to deal with is being self-conscious.
Or-- the most difficult things she'll acknowledge to herself, even if it becomes painfully apparent. And speaking of "apparent": Abella chuckles quietly, though it has an edge of "tell me about it" rather than mirth. It's not unkind, just... tell me about it. )
I thought my world had no magic. A few days ago I found out that was not the case and... I became an engineer because I like the logic of it. There are rules of physics and practical realities, you can troubleshoot why a mechanism isn't working or predict where a project will have flaws and weaknesses. And then you have a weird, magical dream and it turns out Old Gods and magic are real, and then you have another magical dream and fall into a whole new world, and I don't even know enough about the magic at home to know if any of the magic here follows the same laws.
( She laughs again, and while there's some amusement to it, it's not like the overwhelm or the note of sadness in her voice are hard to identify. )
At least if I could figure that out I could find the logic.
