you wouldn't even recognize me anymore
not that you knew me back then
The Wraith soaks up whatever knowledge is offered, a far more eager student than she ever was in her youth. Nodding, she understands that there is a difference (duh, healing is not growing or repairing) but that… turn is not what Wessex expected. In fact, the older woman moves to try and stop her from cutting herself as soon as she realizes that that’s what Evie intends to do, reaching out to stay the blade but ultimately knows that the girl is perfectly capable of making her own choices.
This generosity takes her privately aback. It’s unexpected. It also makes her resolve to help Evie in whatever way she can, should she ever ask it. Such things are freely given between the Naturals and Wessex knows a debt when she sees one.
“Alright.” Holding her hand out over the cut, side-by-side with her own, Wessex feels the magic as soon as it seeps into the air and latches on, directing it towards the sliced flesh with a will to heal and knit. Between the two of them she’s sure it’ll be healed in no time. And if it is - she’ll smile and say, “Thank you,” hesitate, and then continue. “Just one more thing. Can you - attack me with your earth magic? Actually try to harm me?” Jigano had done that, once. She’d like to know what it would be like to defend with it.
They both know she isn’t likely to do any real harm. “I wouldn’t dream of turning it back on you.” In case that helps sway Evie’s opinion.

but it all comes back to me in the end
