In my world, it refers to a person with one human parent and one [ hmm ] not. [ He might as well be talking about the weather for how casually he states that. ] Thankfully, it doesn't seem as though any of my power has been limited here.

[ He crosses one arm over the other, lightly drumming his heavily-ringed fingers on his elbow. ] I'll need a little more time to be sure though.

[ He stops with the drumming and starts grinning again at the mention of Alec. There is suddenly a sort of lightness in his eyes and he quirks one brow in preparation for replying. ]

Very handsome, [ he says, sounding very much like he's struggling to be as serious as he ought. ] There's a chance you'll be able to see the runes he and his family wear. To most, they'll look like tattoos. [ Here, he will helpfully trace the shape of the deflect rune in the air, leaving behind a lingering image in what seems to be suspended blue flame. ]
