If Apollo is expecting Luca to grovel or beg forgiveness, then he'll be waiting. This time, though, it's not because Luca is trying to antagonize him. Luca is very, very fascinated by magic, and just seeing that light is enough to draw him in. His naturally-analytical mind is already running, going through the chemical reactions and energy outputs necessary to accomplish the feat Apollo is pulling off. If Apollo was ever curious to know the chemical reactions necessary to create light, he'll get a rundown of it right now inside Luca's head.
But beyond trying to frame Apollo's power in a way that he can understand, he's quickly realizing that his previous comparison was wrong. Apollo isn't like a petulant child, he's definitely more like Balzac: powerful, stubborn, and prone to being a little shit when the mood strikes him.
(It's a good comparison I promise, Luca has some level of respect for Balzac that most people don't get.)
He's a little afraid of such a power, in the way that any human would be afraid of something like that. But it's also very striking, and beautiful in a way. It makes a million questions come to mind: how does he do it? Is this the magic of his world- sfeer theory- put to a different use? Is it something else entirely? And if it's something else entirely, how would it interact with sfeer theory? Once again Luca is left cursing the fact that he was born as an Introvert-class, since it limits the kinds of magic he can do.
But that's right, he should say something and not let his mind run with all the scientific possibilities here.]
That...is quite a power, yes.
[Sun powers for the sun god. Of course. He should have realized that.
Not that Luca believed Apollo was The Apollo as is spoken of in his world, but he's not discounting the possibility of weird multi-world shenanigans anymore. So there's some progress?]
thank you, he's an idiot
