Out of nowhere, Jobina announced:
"So... doesn't pooping just feel amazing?"
Alicia shuddered, then glared coldly at Jobina.
"Jobina," I said, turning to her, "if you were trying to make things less awkward, you failed in flying colors."
"Ehhhh?" she whined. "But I was serious though! Don't you poop?"
"I have no need to excrete," I responded calmly. "And actually, even you shouldn't. Have you forgotten about energy conversion?"
Energy conversion—the art of transforming one form of energy, including consumed material, directly into magic energy—had long since rendered basic bodily functions unnecessary for most aware beings.
There's the inferior version—Magic Conversion—but that only goes as far as turning intentions into understandable transmission. And it doesn't work well in areas filled with curse energy.
"I know," Jobina grumbled, crossing her arms. "Almost no one in my clan uses the toilet anymore. It's disheartening."
