takethatnature: Wilson with a sort of exaggerated-looking closed-mouthed frown. (PB: frowny face)

Wilson looks puzzled at first, and then scowls as he realises he's been let down by the universe yet again. "Magic? I learned it from a science machine, it's not supposed to be magic. It's just a really efficient method!"

He's trying to convince himself of this too, not just Ylva, and he's not hiding it very well. It's harder to ignore the magic involved in the process when he's weaving spools of shadowy thread into his craft in order for the finished product to look like a fluffy miniature monster with a head that zips most of the way off, but even before he had any of those to apply, the basic backpack still had components made of neither sticks nor grass. He couldn't answer the question of where the leather straps holding the basic model shut came from, so he didn't let himself think about it.
