"I'm not sure. I can do some research later, though."

"How'd you get yours?"

"My spells? All of them?"

"...any you want to tell me about."

"Um, that's pretty personal, add it to the 'when we're not in public' list."

"Okay."

Edie briefly considers feeling guilty but decides that the impulse is a result of the reciprocal power imbalance and she can safely ignore it.

Snuggle.

Such snuggle!

Eventually the bus will arrive at their stop.

Okay then. Off the bus with them.

This will involve disengaging from snuggle. Meh.

Oh well. ...Annie is not quite sure enough of herself to suggest holding hands.

Well, that doesn't immediately occur to Edie either, but she'll sling an arm over her shoulder once they're off the bus!

Ee!

Annie is an awfully flattering person to have in magical love with you, if that thing is going to happen.

She is! Although she is blind and therefore short on adoring gazes, she is definitely looking sort of daydreamy and everything.

This is going to be easier than she had been afraid of.

"How far is your house from here?"

"Less than a mile."

"Okay, I can probably walk that since it's not icy."

"How d'you normally get around?"

"Tricycle. Can't balance a two-wheeler."

"Huh. Trikes aren't widely available for adults here but I'm sure Emily can figure something out."

"They're not standard for adults at home either but I found one eventually. Had to do a lot of the maintenance myself though because the nearby bike shop didn't know what to do with it."

"I have magnetism powers. I'm quite sure we can work something out."
