"Well, we're not doing anything publicly indecent - for clan lands - right now," says Luzia, stretching. "And I don't really expect a lesson today. There's not a whole batch of children that age right now. People try to time them to have witch friends their own age, see."

"Ahh, I can understand why. There weren't any magic kids my age that I knew except for my brother, and he doesn't really count because he's my brother. I am eternally stuck with him," says Zeviana, amused. "Good on witches for timing them like that."

"Not everybody does it. There's, let's see - of witches regularly around as opposed to living in South America or what have you, one has a six year old, one has a baby. The most recent batch is sixteen now, past when they'd be taking group lessons. Ranata jumped the gun with hers, couldn't wait I suppose."

Zeviana snickers. "Suppose so! Kids are cute, not sure I'd ever want to have any, though. Imagining Ranata excited to have a kid is extremely adorable."

"I had one once," sighs Luzia.

"Oh?" she asks, then she puts two and two together for the word choice of 'once.' "Oh. I'm uh - sorry. If you don't want to talk about it I won't get offended or anything."

"It's all right. He died thirty years ago." She rolls over, finds someplace new to put her head that turns her neck a different way. "I have great-great grandchildren. Hope that's not weird."

Luzia doesn't appear to need anything but to sun herself in this field. "I'm only a hundred and thirty-four at the moment. Just had a birthday."

"Happy birthday!" says Zeviana. "I think I already told you my age. I already told you my age, right? It's twenty-one."

"I'm such a cradle-robber," snorts Luzia. "Oh well. What's a witch to do."

She laughs. "Thanks. Thanks. I'm sure you'll console yourself. Somehow."

"Maybe you will help me," suggests Luzia archly.

Kiss! "Good."

"And! I might become an honorary member of the clan. So I could potentially be around here a lot."

"Ooooh. How much is a lot?"

"Well if it keeps being this awesome, most of the time! But I like going places, too. Just traveling to see things."

"Like Ranata," chuckles Luzia. "Can't make her stay put more than a few weeks at a time now her daughter isn't at home anymore. Sometimes I go with her, it's fun."

"Yeah! Ranata will actually probably become a travel-buddy for it. Obviously, you're invited to come whenever." Kiss!

Kiss! "Have any plans lined up or are you taking suggestions?"

"I think we had plans to go to - I actually forget what it's called. A place. But I am taking suggestions anyway!"

Luzia laughs. "Cloud forests are nice."

"Then I'd love to see them."

"When Ranata comes back we can suggest it to her."
