Please don't make us hunt you down and defeat you, we can't always do it nonlethally.

I won't, promise.

Good. It's not super dangerous, just, like I said. Be careful.

Will do.

Good. How are you at heights?

Are you going to take me flying somewhere?

Well, I don't think there's much point staying here any longer.

I think you're right. I would love to be flown wherever.

Excellent.

She says something in her language, brightly, and wings with crystalline feathers flickering with transient images flare into existence on her back.

Ooooh pretty! Also my spell is about to run out.

Tendril!

Testing.

Hi!

The other one says something that sounds like a dramatic speech by the tone and performs a short piece of choreography while her magic reactivates.

What are you doing?

Re-transforming.

The speech and dance are actually tied to the reactivation, if he can see that.

He can definitely see it, it's much simpler to see magical connections when they're moving like that.

You need to do a little dramatic speech?

Yeah.

...I kinda wanna be a magical girl even more, now.

Really?

Yeah! Rocking outfits and a dramatic speech and a pose to get super magic powers, sign me up.

Fair warning, these things are culturally coded as silly-to-undignified.

I am the sort of person that takes this as encouragement.
