[ Aw geez. That's right, he never lore'd Claude (only vore'd...). ]
Being a Sorcerer isn't just about being able to use magic, it's a whole biological thing. They're a totally different race... apparently a bunch of you guys can just learn magic, but Magic Users can use 'em 'cause they have special organs to make smoke. Which is how magic happens.
[ For him it's kind of like the equivalent of finding out Darth Vader might be your dad. Or at least you maybe grew up on his ship idk how Star Wars works. ]
Oh! I actually have an answer to this! [ PERKING UP AND LOOKING AT HIM. Distraction. ]
There's this guy Dr. Kasukabe saved years ago in Hole, actually. He was a half-Sorcerer, half-human kid... but he had the smoke organs so that just makes him a Sorcerer actually.
It's like, there's Hole, and there's the Sorcerer's World, and the Sorcerer's World is way bigger and way nicer. Hole, not so much, but we live there 'cause Sorcerers don't come around there... unless it's to do magic practice on humans.
Spent some time in the Sorcerer's World. Met some of them that weren't so bad, gave me food and looked out for me. And... turns out, my best friend is a Sorcerer, too. She just hid it from me, 'cause she wanted to be human. 'Cause her magic sucks, or something.
[ Huffs and grumbles. ] But at the same time, a Sorcerer also hurt her real bad and brainwashed her, and there's no doubt a Sorcerer changed my head to what it is and took my memory, so.
And I've seen lots of dead bodies of people who got killed by magic.
Would it be too simple to say that you can't judge a person by their race? I'm sure that humans and Sorcerers both have the same capacity for kindness and cruelty.
[ But it might be easy for him to say, as an outsider. ]
[ To him it's basically the equiuvalent of 'Darth Vader is your dad' reveal. Or at least the implication that he grew up on Darth Vader's ship. I've never seen Star Wars help. ]
It just doesn't make sense! I can't be a Sorcerer, I've never made smoke in my whole life.

He doesn't touch him, but keeps careful watch in case he kneels over. ]
What's the matter? You knew that you didn't always have a lizard head, didn't you?

So was I there was a student? A janitor? Who the hell was I? But I -- I shouldn't be at a school for Sorcerers...

[ hm ]
Well... if you were given a lizard head. Maybe you were also turned human?
no subject
[ Oh, but... cowed, quieting. Looking at his hands. ]
But that's... why was my body in Hole, then? I've been killing Sorcerers this whole time, if I'm a Sorcerer, then -- ... what do I do?

Are humans and Sorcerers at war or something?
