[It's not the best comparison to draw, being twelve was terrifying, before she had any power for herself. She wouldn't have run off alone at twelve, she wouldn't have strayed from the group or tried to mess around with any weird substances or creatures.]
I don't borrow anything, I make it. Do you understand how complicated those senses are? That I'd have to change how my brain perceives smell? It isn't something I've used before and my memory is hardly perfect. If I had references, a text book perhaps, but don't you think I'd have already tried it, if I could?
[There's no anger in her tone, not even a hint of irritation, because it would be far too easy to give in to that, to turn this into a fight so she doesn't have to focus on anything else. But she won't give in to that temptation, so she's stuck with just explaining herself.]
