True enough. I've got to give you that one. ...the writer went a ways overboard with that one.

I swiped my definition from the OED, actually, I didn't come up with it.

I think I kind of intuitively understand where they wanted to go with that, but since explaining it is still beyond me, I'm admitting defeat... or maybe not. Here goes a shot at it.

Ichor is used pretty frequently in fic and lit for alien blood, and it's also the term for dragon's blood in the Pern novels, where it's a pale greenish color. Thus, Malfoy eyes? and ichor (greek sense) caused wounds by 'burning', right? So maybe ice and a cold/inhuman fire? .....Yeah, I'm sooo reaching here.

Hi again, btw.
