( there is a brief pause as eda considers how to best explain this. it would have been a lot easier if she had been more forthcoming with raine in general, but she supposed it was about time for her to start eating crow. )

In the right one, humans don't have any weird powers or abilities. Neither do they know about them!

( she makes a dramatic gesture of covering one side of her mouth. )

Otherwise they'd have never let the giraffes stay.

( then a wave of the hand. )

That's just fantasy stuff for them. Here, it's real.

( eda takes the time to explain the concept of metahumans to them then. she's quite straightforward about it. humans with abilities like this are known as "metahumans" and that moniker also gets applied to non-humans as well as a bit of a shorthand. it just seems to be anything the majority of the human population consider abnormal. for better or worse, they were also considered metas and starfallen.

the human realm connected to the demon realm never had this issue. or any history of confluences like this one. otherwise she'd have heard of it. )
