"DNA. Yes, I know about genetics." Sort of. "I know of it, anyway. I know what it is." Good enough for their purposes.
"So what you're saying is that there's something in your genetics that allows you to do that." He makes a vague gesture to indicate that. "I did say magic runs in families, that makes it genetic." Probably. "So once again I'm failing to see the difference here."
They might use different words for it, and they might think of it in different contexts, but it still sounds much the same to him. Magic and... whatever this is called. "What do you call it, actually?" He wonders if it works the same way, too.
