Upon hearing her confusion, Nova apologized to her. "Online means on the internet?" she replied, though it sounded to Sadhbh like a question rather than a statement. "Like the Muggle invention that allows them to communicate or look up basically anything they've ever made or wanted?"
"Ah," Sadhbh answered Nova once it was clearer that it was something from the Muggles. They didn't use that kind of technology on Hy-Brasil, since it was banned entirely. She thought that it was interesting, though, in the way that Nova described it. It was like a library and a postal service, potentially.
What was even stranger was when Nova pulled out her phone to illustrate what it actually was. "And you can buy things from other people using it too, and then they mail it. Similar to owl delivery," she added.
All of that? With something that size?! Sadhbh stared at the device intently, certain that Nova was exaggerating everything it could do. "I use it a lot to talk or write my friends, or look up new recipes."
Sadhbh, although now understanding some of what the technology could do, didn't fully comprehend it. "You use the… online to talk to people?" she asked. Couldn't she just go and talk to them, the way people did on Hy-Brasil? "And that"—Sadhbh lifted her hand to approximate the size of Nova's phone—"has everything the Muggles have made?" Either the Muggles really hadn't made anything at all, or they had found something that Sadhbh would have thought was witchcraft if not for her being a Druid.
