Bella is hanging out in a Jarvis - the familiar one - handwriting a nonaggression proposal-slash-bribe. Has to be handwritten. Damn fussy demons. At least it's okay for her to conjure rather than personally harvesting the weird ink she's supposed to use.
"I'm not sure what I could add to the situation," he says, "but if you want me to, yes."
"I don't know what you'd add to the situation either, but it's probably less awkward than me teleporting into her room and being like 'so... hi.'"
Soph is indeed in the room with the bunkbeds, eating directly from a pint of ice cream. The ice cream appears to be helping.
Bella snorts. "Tricks are about as good as could be expected. Tony had an idea. But I'm not sure yet if I want to implement it. You know how Shell Bell forked and merged?"
"I could - whip up a custom fork, sort of, one who has the memories the spell was supposed to put in me. And splice with her."
"Apparently Sherlock's memories match up pretty closely, but he would've only known you since March and only through me, so. I'm looking at a bigger shift. And..." She shrugs, shifting her weight. "I don't know who I'd be shifting for. I don't know you yet."
"I'm..." Soph shrugs. "I'm not nearly as interesting as you are? I play softball," she offers.
"I'm..." Soph shrugs. "I try to be nice, I try to be smart, I'm not as - as verbal as you are, I think I'm more social, I have a bunch of school friends who don't know about magic and stuff... um, you didn't have any trouble getting me to move here, when Mom got married... I don't call them by their first names when they're not listening except sometimes to you? And I sometimes greet people by saying 'how's tricks' and I can't remember where I picked it up."
