"Little of both," he answers, making a so-so gesture. There's more to the Eye and what they do, but that's close enough. That she knows a little of their mission statement is more than most people, and honestly, all he needs is to know that she knows of them, period. The finer details are largely unimportant.
"But uh," he continues after a beat, "Lionel Shrike was a witch, who was part of the Eye." Also a werewolf, but like hell he's supplying that, if she doesn't know that the Eye's reclaimed their magic through the curse. Let her think his mother was the one he inherited his werewolf genes from. "He was a good man, a competent witch, and he made his living working as a stage magician. Most of his tricks were more than just illusion."
He brought magic, brought wonder to people outside the supernatural.
He'll also take a moment to let her absorb that before he continues. He wonders if she can figure out where this is going before he states it explicitly.
