"Witches all have two names," it occurs to Ranata to say. "We mostly use the first, unless we're being formal or distinguishing between two with the same first name, and then it's both. Ranata Ekamma; Isabella Amariah. Like that. What's your full name?"

Oh good. It would be unfortunate if she didn't!
"Yeah, I bet. Are all types of animals just up for grabs? That's got to get annoying for certain ones."

Fortunate eventualities are much to be preferred.
"All possible, not all likely. I think the most common daemon for mortals is housecat. That or dogs, but people tend to count the different breeds differently for dogs and not cats."

Zeviana does like eventualities of the fortunate kind!
"That's interesting. I would have guessed the most common to be birds, but - I think that's because we've been around witches."

Does she. That is interesting and Luzia is interested.
"I meant species. There are more birds in general than cats in specific. But not more white-headed mousebirds, or whatever."

Yay! Interesting things!
"Ooo. Alright." Snuggle, snuggle. "Makes sense."

Very interesting indeed!
Snuggle! "That is what I am, if you couldn't tell. I'm not exactly up there with crows and great horned owls and pelicans on the recognizability scale."

It might take them a while to get bored of interesting things. They're, after all, interesting.
"I think you're lovely," says Lecasryn, nuzzling Radna. "And I don't know what I am, either. Some kind of harrier, apparently. We haven't looked it up, yet."

Luzia is all in favor of prolonged mutual fascination.
"It's good to be able to tell others when they ask," says Radna. She preens a stray feather on Lecasryn's neck.

How fortunate of them both that Zeviana feels the same.
"Yeah. I'll have to look it up, there's apparently a book for it." At preening, Lecasryn nuzzles Radna again. Because it's cute.

It is a truly lovely confluence of interests.
"It's a lot of books, but you narrow it down by obvious things. You'd want the flying birds book."

Indeed it is.
"Ah! Thanks. We'll have to look for the flying birds book."
Of course, stamina isn't an infinite resource. Eventually, they'll have to stop, though only after both parties are quite sated.
"That was great," says Zeviana, grinning.

"Mmmmm-hm," agrees Luzia, smiling lazily. "Never did get around to teaching you how to hold a dagger, but I suspect you're too tired now."
(Luzia is at least as tired, of course.)

"Not complaining, 'cause yeah, too tired for it now. Later I'll be up for it, though - it seems fun!" says Zeviana.
"Tremendous fun. Are you stranded here 'till Ranata comes back?"

"Eh. Kinda? Used most of my mana for super-weed genocide, so I can't just teleport or fly or something. I might be too tired to walk."
"Well, I'm not going to kick you out of my practice field," snorts Luzia.
"Partly 'cause it's not really mine. But," she says, "if a bunch of little girls with their practice blades come in to learn stances, don't say I didn't warn you."

She bursts into helpless laughter. "We probably should have moved somewhere less public, but eh - this was fun, and I didn't think of moving at the time."
"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."
