They're under a ruined overpass when he spots it, next to a quietly burbling stream.
"Hey, 2B, look at that."

Great looks like that's all sorted then!
She turns around holding the bullets.
"Can you shoot these one at a time?"
"Well, do you think it's like 'there's a hole in them' or do you think it's like 'they explode'. I'll be fine either way as long as there's something left, but it affects the timing and all.
Er, that's not true for humans, they die of like, crossbows, and it's not true of most mages who're not me, so. If I'm fine doesn't mean it's safe to shoot people."
"That I am. I mean, I could shield, but that'd be a different experiment.
Probably shouldn't be shot when we're still walking and all. Wait till we stop for the night and try shooting me?"
"Yep. And on other people, but I can do more for myself. Also mine'll happen if I don't do it, or can't."
"Sounds like a bit of a weird word for it? I mean, if some human - scrapes their arm or something, it'll heal, and they won't be like, thinking 'heal heal heal' at it or anything. Pretty much same thing, just - benefit of a mage spark and not just a body so it'll do it for more. And faster and all."
