"– I'm not sure I'll get anything useful, like I say it didn't give much last time, but I'll try?"

So she does.

They'd probably die, she guesses? There's a possibility they might be turned, some mythology has that, who knows.

"Not getting anything magical on this, nope."

"Yeah, you'll probably need the threads or to just know what causes what."

"Which, again, is boring." Sigh.

"Mmhm." Pause. "Any ideas for other experiments to run?"

"I think it's just gonna be a boring rainy day when I poke at threads, basically."

"Or you could do that on your own when you get home because no matter how boring they are they're probably super useful. I'm gonna try to do the meditation thing when I get home."

"Oh, yeah, that's what I meant – rainy day in the future."

"No what I meant is you should do it today."

Pause. "I guess that probably makes sense."

"Yes, I make a habit of making sense."

"That sounds like a hard habit to keep around magic."

"Fortunately I didn't have the habit before I turned!" jokes Theo. (Then he sighs.)

She giggles. "Well. I think, ah—we're all out of things to try with your power, then."

"Yeah. Poking at the threads, plus seeing what sorts of things I can do before forgetting I'm doing them with the – direct thing. – I'll see you guys sometime soon, then?"

"Yeah. Write down whatever you're doing so you won't forget."

Nod.

Theo shows her to the door.

She waves, and then off she goes.

"I think I ought to probably go, too? And we meet again tonight for saving lives?"

"And I'll try poking at my brain to see if there's something else boring that I'm overlooking?"

"I guess? Good luck with that."

"See you later."

Off she goes.
