"This is Mikleo. I'll get back to you when I can."

I've been compared to angels before, but that one's new. What's a jinn?

[Honestly, he's not overly fond of the comparisons at all - a seraph is a seraph, always, in his mind - but if it helps people understand, it's alright.]

They're beings made from smokeless fire. Back home, only humans and jinn have free will.

I've never seen one, so it's hard for me to describe, but they're creatures that have the power of choice. They can choose to protect and work in tandem with humans, or they can cause mischief and harm - whichever seems most fitting for them.

[Hmmm. Slightly less familiar, there, but pretty interesting stuff nonetheless.]

Well, the smokeless fire is way off, although a fire seraph might relate. Humans with no resonance see nothing but our element when we're casting artes, so there is that.

And the majority of seraphim prefer to either help humans or leave them alone, but I can't deny that there are a few out to cause harm. In general, we have no interest in hurting humans - those who do are hellions, not seraphim. Otherwise it would be self-destructive to cause them any strife.

So I might be thinking more of hellions...

[That would be the sound of a pen against a piece of paper, because Stefan's trying to take notes.] Sorry. Analogies usually help me understand this kind of thing, but it sounds like seraphim are unique to your world.

Maybe.

If you need a comparison for it to make sense, you could perhaps say that this "jinn" represents the duality between seraph and hellion. The seraph as benevolence, the hellion as malevolence. We have the potential to be one or the other; it all depends on our hearts.

That's... Huh. That makes perfect sense. Thank you, Mikleo.

[He is so pleased at how it's all finally clicking into place! He can't shed his Earth-centrism, but he's sure gonna try.]

Let me know if my questions get too bothersome, by the way. I've been on the receiving end of it before, and I know it can get exhausting after a while.

It's not a bother. I'm a little grateful for the distraction, to be honest- I've done nothing but lie around in bed since I got sick. It's driving me crazy.

I'd imagine. [...] Hey, I know I can't see you, but I could bring some books over. How do you feel about mysteries?

Mysteries? I'm not sure I've ever read one before.

Seriously? Then I'm definitely bringing them over - they're all about things like people solving murders or crimes. Most aren't that great, but it's fun to puzzle out who did it.

Oh, it's like a puzzle! I love those. Consider my interest officially piqued.

Great! I'll bring them over as soon as I can.

I'll look forward to that, then. Thank you.

[THANK GOD, HE IS SO BORED]
