William coughs a little. "I will see you later, then," he says. "And see if I have magic again then or not."

"Later, Mr. Farron."

He leaves.

"… Studying?"

"No, experimenting with magic, studying later."

"Looking for sorcerers, first?"

"No that'd take too long and we have to study."

"I meant spotting them on a map if we can do that, since we can do 'strong feeling of where', so maybe we can do that with representations of locations."

"Right, and I mean that if we succeed I am not going to be able to keep myself from actually going after them and that'd take a lot of time so I'd rather not have the option for now."

"Okay, so, try something useful like… invisibility? By calling upon something not-Shadow this time, or calling upon the concept and not the card?"

"I was thinking we could continue working on the thing we discovered earlier, about charging up scrolls."

"Sure!"

So they spend the rest of the evening doing experiments, and eventually switch to studying, and at some point Sadde has to go home.

So he gets a kiss goodbye!

And Tyler sees this and decides to go see what William's up to.

"—so how bothered are you that I'm kinda really attracted to your twin?"

"… It's kinda weird. But it also feels weird to think of him as my twin."

"He has your face so like I'm sure there's spillover attraction for you there, but he's different."

"Yeah," says Theo. Pause. "And new."

"I don't think the new influences anything."

Shrug. "Not super bothered, but it's a bit weird, like I said."

"Yeah, I guess." He shrugs, too. "Anyway, good night."

"See ya."

Another kiss!

The next few days are spent studying and performing magic tests. They learn some more about sorcery, and learn some more about school things, and continue to fail to see any magic in William.

And then there's a storm.

Well this isn't particularly normal, comments Theo to Sadde one day.
