Wash nodded at Bones' assessment, swallowing a mouthful of eggs. He raised an eyebrow at Casey. "You know creativity and improvisation. The other half of this is drilling it until it's habit, and that's what you're going to need to work on." And if you steal his bacon, they will have words.

His other eyebrow rose to join its partner at Greg's sputtering. "Greg, you've been using your magic since we first met. You're a hell of a lot better at this than you think you are, and you'll get even better once you realize that." As far as Wash could tell, Greg's problem wasn't ability - it was his lack of self-esteem. That was going to take a lot more work to overcome than a lack of magical control.
