"Ah, I see..." Victoria runs her fingers along the horse's neck until she finds the edge of the hatch and flips it open. "It looks a lot like magic," she says as she slowly pours the the liquid into the machine. "It seems familiar for some reason."

"It is magic," Judas shrugged. "And science. It's alchemy, which is bringing both together."

"I think I've sold some of this stuff before. Maybe once or twice," she decides. "That's where I know it from. It's interesting though." Victoria pours the last few drops of liquid into the horse and sets the bottle down. "I'd like to learn how to do magic-y things, but I wasn't exactly born into it."

"I don't know," Judas sighed. "Even potions work isn't really within non-magical capabilities. At some point or another, every magical art requires the user's natural magic to work. Even alchemy."

"That''s what I mean," she deadpans. "I know I'm not magic and I probably never will be. It's not like it bothers me." Victoria's hand lingers on the squarish bottle and she stares at it with an expressionless gaze.

Judas turned around, crossing his arms. "If anything, that makes you safer," he pointed out. "It means that even if you do get arrested, you wouldn't be submitted to experimentation. And they'd take pity on you when deciding the sentence."

"I know that! I know... It's just... Never mind," she says quickly, shaking her head. She lets go of the bottle and takes a few steps from the desk.

"Magic gives people the ability to do interesting things," Judas muttered. "But the cost of that is very, very high."

"It's more complicated than that," Victoria tells him defensively. "It's not about wanting to do cool tricks."

"It's about my mother," Victoria replies. "Believe it or not, I'm actually more than the naive, insensible little girl you may think I am," she mutters softly.

"I don't know! I never got to know! She left right after I was born. My father's never told me anything else besides that," she sighs. "I was a mistake," she mumbles bitterly. "That much I figured out."

"I was an accident," she hisses. "I wasn't even supposed to be born..." Victoria goes silent, arms wrapped around herself as she stares at the floor. "I don't even know why I'm telling you this."

"Unplanned birth," he murmured. "It's not all that uncommon. Your father never told you anything about her?"

"No, of course not! Why would he?" Victoria replies, a hint of bitter sarcasm in her voice. "He said she had to leave, for some reason. I just don't know what kind of person would abandon her own daughter."

Victoria sighs. "Maybe..." She takes a minute to calm down before speaking again. "I want to find her, but at the same time, it's not like I can forgive her."

"Well. Did she leave you on the streets or something with your father, or did you have a home?"
