[Wincing a little despite the praise, Lys lowers the magnifying glass....but gives a determined nod. Nevermind that any damage to her eyes would revert and heal soon enough; she takes the advice to heart the same way she'd first accepted her father's cautionary words about sharp knives and hot stovetops.]

[...and now she's passing the magnifying glass over the crab she's fished out, an unusually scientific fascination for once asserting itself over the food-driven habits that are close to instinct for her now. The vivid details revealed through the glass, so clear and so sharp, felt like she was seeing whole new sides to a known and familiar world. Without paragraphs of words or opaque formulas to get in the way, her natural curiosity can't help but thrive, pushing her to absorb everything she can.]
You get to use stuff like this all the time, huh....geez. I've only ever used an abacus before.
[That's not even vaguely adjacent to forensics?? Shut up, Lys.]
