Myropsis question made sense, sure there was a couple of runes engraved onto the metal structure holding the plants and guiding the free moving water, but it could just as easily be decorations in Eldrian's eyes. The pumps and mechanism simply cleverly hidden to give it a more magical feel.
While he knew that was not the case, he still thought of it and smiled at the concept that magic and science could be so interchangeable.
"It's plenty magical," Eldrian replied after taking a moment to enjoy his own thoughts, something he hadn't done in ages. In fact, he hadn't been able to calm his mind so much even while trying to meditate.
Myropsis giggled a little hearing just how earnest Eldrian's reply was. After a few minutes of simply enjoying the sight of the growing lettuce, she asked, "Did you plan to come here?"
"Not at all, I was wandering the city and ended up here."
