Weeks pass, and he doesn't catch a single card.
When cards become active, he goes looking. They just disappear before he gets there.
He's getting worried, and he's not sure he's satisfied with Kero's explanations.
He tries to focus on school.
"I guess so. He seemed to be pretty focused on magic—hadn't you gone under to check for active cards?" he says, directing that last to Scott himself.
"I don't think they're very much like humans, but some of them can communicate with me."
"Maze isn't very smart, not even like plants are maybe? Move likes to move things, Through has a kind of mean sense of humor- she likes pranks...Windy is very protective. Kero, could Sadde- oh, is he still here? Should've gotten some dessert."
"I'm not sure you can see what they're like without meditating with them, and I don't know if you can do that with the ones that aren't yours, or if you don't have an artifact. Kero, you said he could meditate, right?"
"It'll be harder for him, and he won't be able to talk to any Cards he doesn't own and that aren't lent him, but he can do it."
"Which means it's about time the cardcaptor checked for active cards."
"What?"
Scott senses: cards, Kero, the other sorcerers, the other sorcerers' cards...
...faint echo of something that-a-way...
