"No clue. I mean, I know how to shoot a rifle, but that's totally not the same thing, you know?" She frowns. "But like, I really did... like. Shoot people. Really-really." She leans her head on Mira's shoulder for a second, frowning. "I mean, it must have come from somewhere, because Spencer and Joel found each other again, didn't they? So it's like... there's a part of us in that."
She makes a face, and then Mira says she's not vulnerable because she fights, but Raleigh shakes her head. "I don't-- I don't mean like that. It's the-- You know how I told you that I made Oscar, right? Every single person who I know who does magic was super pissed at me for randomly drinking some hippy guy's potion, even when I said it's not something I would ever do on my own and it was clearly not me making that choice. Because they just don't get it, and-- like. Yeah, I can handle a lot of stuff, but I feel like being human in this town is like having a giant target on your back, but it's more important to stay."
She's frowning, now. "It's not that I'm not vulnerable, or that you're not, it's that we can live with it, but they don't get that it's not just-- like. Hunky dorey, trust that somehow our magically buddies will save the day."
