Could zaShunina hear Yusei's thoughts, he would happily explain his own circumstances, but as mind reading is beyond his capabilities, he does not. He would also argue that "magic" isn't inherently unknowable, they just don't understand it yet.

zaShunina stops a moment, Yusei's words drawing his attention to a steam-powered car puttering down the road.

"I have a theory," He begins, turning back to the human after watching the car for a few seconds. "When a species relies too heavily upon one resource to solve all of their problems, other resources are neglected. I theorize that heavy reliance upon magic has stunted technological growth in other areas."
