Yeah, that works.

Julie shows her a map. "Thaumaturge Charity used to attend our church till she became a thaumaturge and was assigned to this one. It's bigger, she's not the only thaumaturge there. Do you want a go bag or will that not work if you have to walk through walls?"

It didn't work when she tried it. She has noticed that her telepathy works a little better than it did at first, though, is that a thing that happens with spells in general?

"It happens when your outfit's prettier. I don't fight kaiju dressed like this, I have a much more elaborate outfit that takes me two hours to checklist to make sure I have it right."

She should try it again, then, and see if she can get it to work if it doesn't already.

Does it?

Nope.

"If phasing's your third spell it'll take the most aggressive refinement to get it better."

She's not sure how much of a big deal that is, to know if it's worth it. She'll probably be okay just on her own, though, she was the first time.

"It's a long trip, but there'll be somebody in the church, they try to keep 'em open even when nobody lives there outright."

Good. How long?

"Almost fifty miles. Thaumatologists aren't too common, so there aren't that many churches."

...she's not sure how fast she goes, biking or flying, but... two, maybe three days if she has to be careful, does that sound right? So maybe they should hide some food on somebody's roof or something.

"My friend Harvey's house is between here and there. I can stash something in his shed next time I'm there."

That sounds good. (Hug.)

Hug. "I can crash his poker night this evening after Winona gets home. What do you want in your stash?"

A bunch of all the same thing, whatever it is. So she doesn't have to pick.

"Okay... well, it doesn't have to hold you very long, guess it doesn't have to be healthy. Here's Harvey's house on the map." She points it out. "I'll go get a spare bag and fill it with trail mix."

She examines the map; she's not sure she'll be able to remember it without actually going there once, and reports as much when Julie returns.

"Not sure Harvey wants a thirteen year old at poker night, but I can ask."

It doesn't have to be tonight. And she doesn't have to go in, but maybe that's weird.

"Little bit. I can show up, say you've got separation anxiety but want to get out more, park you in his kitchen, play a hand, take you home?"

Sure, that should work.

"And in the meantime, your math books should be here." She goes and gets a box out of the covered front porch and opens it up, and lo, math books.

Math books! She brings them in to the living room.

"Is there anything else we should be getting you books on? Also, is it cool if I schedule school visits starting when I'm due to get back from my deploy?"

Nothing yet - maybe magical girl stuff if she doesn't just mean school things. School visits are... okay she guesses... should they tell the schools that she just didn't go to school before or will that be too weird?
