Being who he was, Yue could understand not wanting to talk about certain things. Fine. He wouldn't pry extensively, but he would still be mildly irritated about the whole thing. "Just don't expect me to believe you truly ignorant, magician."

As for the other - the guardian shook his head slightly, releasing his sadly-mangled hair once more. "This place has...altered my abilities." Crippled them, he meant, in ways both perplexing and infuriating. "I should be able to identify magic and magicians without effort. And yet until I met you it was." Yue paused a moment, frowning. "It was difficult."

Fai's magic felt familiar. Recognizable. Despite himself, and much to his displeasure, the guardian found himself drawn to it.
