Cool guys don't look at explosions, even if they're imaginary
Edmund smiled widely at the warm reception, marveling at how soft the panda's fur is. The tail wiggle and trill has him giggling once more. He's never seen a creature quite like this before, but the small red panda is as adorable as it is funny.
Edmund watches her jump away with some disappointment, but it's quickly replaced with curiosity when Aurelia shifts back into human form. He watches the change with open wonder as to how it might feel to completely change forms. There's a beat of confusion as to how the Attuned knows his name but as soon as she gives hers? Edmund perks up and gives the woman a hug, "Hi Aunt Aurelia!" All of his mum's friends were his Aunts and Uncles to the child.
The question about his status makes Edmund pull back and shake his head sheepishly, "No. But it looks like it'd be fun." Being able to become an animal was amazing after all. The child hesitates for a second before adding, having to remember the term, "I'm an Abandoned." Now that it's said he gives Aurelia another grin, "I have fire magic! And that's just as cool as turning into an orange fuzzy thing!" Despite his initial worries, Edmund loved his magic.
