[ It's so strange for Cisco, listening to Magnus talking about Mundanes, with an feeling of that is me - since he's certainly not a wizard or a warlock, and is a scientist - and then remembering, with a small lurch in his gut, that that's not entirely accurate. Magnus probably has no equivalent in his world that would map easily onto metahumans. Some things just don't really translate. But Cisco doubts that Magnus would call someone who has the powers he has 'normal'.
That's all still much too much of an emotional tangle to deal with, though, so Cisco latches instead on to the last part. ]
Right?! I always thought so. I'm a scientist, myself. In my world, all the crazy unbelievable wonderful stuff comes from science, not magic. But when science gets weird enough, it's like, what's the difference anyway? You got people traveling back in time hundreds of years, doesn't much matter if they're doing it with science or with magic.
[ He watches Magnus making the potion, seeing how deftly he does it despite having a conversation and being charming at the same time. He must be really, really good at potion-making, for it to be that effortless. ]
That's fine, I wasn't like - trying to interrogate you, at your own party, while you're doing me a favor.
[ It's that desire not to be a nosy bother that keeps Cisco from asking more about what it's like having a demon and a human for parents. Randomly asking strangers about their parents is a dangerous move; he knows that. So instead he finds a different direction to take. ]
What's your favorite? I mean- potion or... spell or all that? Which one's your number one?
