She gave a snort. "I grew up on the Isle. Tales galore of big magic. The reality? Nada. We were lucky to get exactly two channels on the TV even, the Auradon Shopping Network, which by the way wouldn't deliver to us, and official announcements from the royal family, and official events. No magic, no phones, no computers, no nothing but a legacy of..." evil. "Our parents. But tell you what happened once we got to Auradon. We learned. Adapted." She shoved out of her seat and swung around to sit on he rdesk facing Rose.
"Only way forward is through. But the biggest thing that stops magic, or makes it work? How badly you want it. How badly you need it. And how sure you are of yourself. You think Fairy Godmother could have bippity boppidied old Cindy if she doubted herself or her godkid? Nah. Half the spells I do I'm adapting on the fly."
Wait. Did she just give a use your heart and believe in yourself speech? Oh ick. She shook her head. "Look, I'm not about to die because you are too busy going on about needing someone else to hold your hand or not having grown up with magic. You want to do something? You can make it happen, but if you're going to be useless, get out of the way."
Ugh, even while trying to make it sound more evil she wound up being encouraging. What was wrong with her?
