Vanya decided that the pizza ordering could have gone better, but she was unperturbed. She listened to Leon order and piped up.
Oh, meat lovers, that sounds good, she said. It was a little known fact that Dathomirians were a naturally carnivorous species, and Vanya ate very little that wasn't hunted by the Clan before leaving Dathomir.
She headed over to the boot he indicated, and slid into it as he asked his question. After all, he had been more than patient with her barrage of questions.
The Essence, she corrected, though there was no judgment in her tone. She was certainly learning new things, and she could hardly expect someone else to immediately pick up on subtle nuances.
There are different ways we can draw on it, she said, trying to find the best way to describe the sensations she felt when she drew on the Essence.
Some of my Sisters who are not as naturally close to the Winged Spirit use things to assist them: incantations, gesticulations, and runes. These are necessary for some of our rituals, she explained. She - and most Nightsisters - had to know these things.
But some of us are closer to Her power. The Essence flows through everything, and we just adopt the skills and abilities we find in nature. The speed of the Toocha or the ears of the Chiroptix. The ur-Spirits of these creatures lend us their strength and allow us to do what we must, she said, having no idea if any of it was making sense, but she was happy to continue explaining if he so desired.
Meanwhile, the pizza arrived, and Vanya looked down at it, reaching out to grab a slice before biting off the end.
Oo, aah, she said, as she sunk her teeth in and promptly burned the roof of her mouth. Still, she was undiscouraged and went on to take another bite a moment later. An explosion of cheesy, meaty, bready goodness erupted in her mouth and her eyes went wide.
This is amazing! she said with a mouth full of pizza and promptly took another bite as soon as possible.
