The offer of a candy was accepted, and she plucked out something that looked to promise not to be offensive-- orange (red ran the risk of cinnamon). It was squeezed, regarded for a moment, then popped into her mouth.

She sucked the candy thoughtfully and nodded her head in agreement. It looked as though she was going to let Will's explanation stand, but Nihm did say 'both' and she realized she'd better contribute at least some.
"We aren't really meant to be there-- physical bodies like our own, humans. As is the case with anything else that exists, we can learn to make the things that aren't meant to be Be, but it takes time. Time and power. The other side of the mirror rejects us just as much as gravity holds us down, but that's only for now."
