Tenn stiffens, taken aback; pointing was not a socially acceptable gesture in his homeland. But he leans into his argument.

"Diatu doesn't defy reason." Tenn returns. "The academy has its own sense of logic, or codifying magic such as Modification and Sundering would not be possible." Case in point, this experiment is because someone or something broke Sundering. Which he is still trying to wrap his mind around. "Even if it doesn't match what I would consider conventional methods of reason, that doesn't mean there isn't structure. That is what I'm here to learn."
